glycerine filled, does that actually make a difference on a high-pressure system or is it just a marketing thing?
Question by: Clint M on Apr 13, 2025, 7:49 PM
On high-pressure hydraulic setups, needle bounce is a real problem. The glycerine dampens those pressure spikes so the needle stays readable instead of jumping all over the place. At 10,000 psi you're going to see fluctuations, and without that fill you'd be guessing half the time. It's a functional feature, not a sales pitch.

need a gauge for a press line, does this one handle up to 10,000 psi without bouncing all over

For high force hydraulic work, the glycerine fill helps steady the needle by damping pressure fluctuations, and the gauge is rated to read up to 10,000 psi.

Reckon this'll hold up okay in a shop environment where it gets kinda dusty and maybe a little vibration from the machines?

Glycerine filling helps dampen those pressure fluctuations, so it should provide more stable readings, even with some vibration. It's built for heavy-duty industrial use.
