Enerpac Hydraulic Pressure Gauges

Enerpac hydraulic pressure and force gauges, from 2.5 in glycerin-filled gauges to 50,000 psi test gauges and the DGR2 digital gauge. Not sure which one fits? Send us your cylinder, pump or press model and we will confirm the gauge and adaptor before it ships.

Why use a gauge

Enerpac's catalog is direct about it: when lifting or pressing, always use a gauge. A gauge is your window into the system, and Enerpac says to check system pressure with a gauge rather than override the factory setting of a relief valve.

Pressure gauge or force gauge?

Pressure gauges measure the input pressure into cylinders, jacks or high pressure systems, and are used for testing.
Force gauges read the external load supported by a cylinder or jack in tons. Enerpac lists them for pressing parts together under a set load, weighing and testing. A force gauge is matched to a cylinder size; the GF10P, for example, is for 10 ton cylinders.

Compare Enerpac gauge series

Ranges and accuracy are from Enerpac's catalog, as a percentage of full scale.

Series	Type	Range	Face	Accuracy	Best for
GF	Force and pressure, glycerin filled, stainless case	0 to 10,000 psi with a matching force scale	4 in	Plus or minus 1%	Reading load on a cylinder or press
GP	Pressure, dry, psi and bar	0 to 10,000 or 0 to 15,000 psi	4 in	Plus or minus 1%	General pressure checks
G	Pressure, glycerin filled, psi and bar	0 to 100 psi up to 0 to 15,000 psi	2.5 or 4 in	Plus or minus 1.5% (2.5 in) or 1% (4 in)	System pressure on pumps and circuits
H	Pressure, high-cycle dry, psi and bar	0 to 10,000 psi	4 in	Plus or minus 1%	High cycle work and harsh environments
T	Test system gauge, psi and bar	0 to 1,000 up to 0 to 50,000 psi	About 6 in	Plus or minus 0.5% to 20,000 psi; 1.5% at 40,000 and 50,000 psi	Proof and pressure testing
DGR2	Digital, backlit, battery powered, IP65 case	0 to 20,000 psi; reads psi, bar, MPa or kg/cm2	Digital readout	Plus or minus 0.25%	Precise readings and easy reading in poor light

How to choose

Pick the range. Choose a gauge rated for the full working pressure of the system. Most Enerpac industrial tools run up to 10,000 psi; bolt tensioning and test systems run higher.
Pick pressure or force. If you need to know the load in tons, choose a GF force gauge matched to your cylinder.
Pick the connection. Enerpac gauges use 1/4 in or 1/2 in NPTF threads, depending on the model. Check the thread on the product page.
Plan the mounting. Most installs use a gauge adaptor between the pump and hose.

Install accessories

Accessory	What it does
Gauge adaptors (GA1, GA2, GA3)	Fit the gauge into the circuit; Enerpac lists which adaptor each gauge takes
GA45GC gauge adaptor assembly	A 45 degree angled adaptor that Enerpac says improves safety, sold pre-assembled with the coupler
V10 auto-damper valve	Controls needle movement by restricting oil flow in and out of the gauge, with no adjustment needed
V91 snubber valve	Adjustable metering of oil out of the gauge; can also shut the gauge off during high cycle work

Enerpac recommends gauge snubbers or needle valves for G Series gauges in high cycle applications. Shop adaptors and valves in Hydraulic Gauge Accessories.
