How does one go about putting a gauge on a

Any suggestions are appreciated.

When fitted a pressure gauge will register the fluid pressure, which may
not be the pressure exertedby the ram. for example, 100 psi on a 10 sq
in ram will give you 1000 lbs lifting/ pushing energy,not 100 lbs.
so youll need to make some calculations to relate pressure to lifting
ability of your setup.
