I\'m sorry, but I didn\'t read the explanation you gave well enough. I don\'t think my answer is what you need.

Over-Pressure

I'm just wondering if the suggester and agreers are thinking of whiplash on humans, while this is "coup de fouet" in a hydraulic system.
Not too sure but could this paragraph help:

5. Over-Pressure Protection - The incorporation of hydraulic relief valves into hydraulic circuits provide built-in overload protection. A press' force cannot exceed the pressure that it is allowed to build, thereby limiting the maximum pressure attainable controls maximum force
Peer comment(s):

neutral Bourth (X) : Wouldn't that be "coup de marteau" (waterhammer)? Could even be pipe whip.
