hydraulic pressure
Liquid-transmitted mechanical power
Hydraulic pressure is the force exerted by a liquid confined in a closed system.
Because liquids are nearly incompressible, pressure applied at one point transmits equally throughout—the principle behind hydraulic brakes, jacks, and heavy machinery.
The hydraulic pressure in the system exceeded safe limits.
