Could I use a 4 or 10 ton hydraulic pump to make an injector tester?

Here's the ten ton version (four ton versions are available). I would think adding a pressure gauge to either wouldn't be a problem. Your thoughts or ideas are appreciated....

I'm thinking a 4 ton hydraulic pump would be more than enough for both unfreezing brake caliper pistons and injector pressure testing.....

In hydraulics, F= pressure x piston area, so pressure = force/area

If you estimate piston area from the diameter, that and rated load will tell you the approximate rated pressure.

The description for the 10 ton ram you linked to says
Quote:
The pump has a max. operating pressure of 8,939 PSI ...
I saw a 4-ton ram that operates at 9200 PSI.

There is at least one thread on this site for pop testers made with hydraulic rams instead of a bottle jack - Electronic Pop Tester Cheap
