highest psi creatable by hand-crank mechanism?
 

What are the commercially available mechanisms/devices that would allow
creation of very high levels of hydraulic pressure by human movement?
Bicycle type of mechanism is preferred.

I'm already familiar with the Enerpac product line. Anything goes to
higher levels?

Thumbscrew and diamond anvil press. Needle point piston levered into
rigid filled reservoir. Gonna hafta be real rigid and the fluid
incompressible.

Dead weight testers go over 100,000 psi, but are one-shot devices so no
good if you need much volume or a continuous flow.

Enerpac goes as high as 40,000 psi, how much do you want?

Since pressure and flow are inversely proportional with the same amount
of work applied, you can get several thousand psi but the flow will be
extremely small, or lots of flow with minimal pressure.

There are hydraulic booster pumps that allow existing hydraulic systems
to pump even higher pressures in separate systems, like an air operated
hydraulic pump. Of course flow still continues to decrease as pressure
increases.

I'm not familiar with Enerpac, what pressure do they go to ?

Two stage hydraulic pumps are fairly common, most are set to change over
from the low pressure stage at about 150 PSI, and have their relief valve
set for a maximum of around 3000 PSI from the high pressure second stage...

What pressure do you want ?

They have products that go to 10,000 psi.
