Abstract

A hydraulic accumulator assembly (1) in which a hydraulic accumulator (2) is associated with at least one sensing device (4, 7, 11 or 12) configured to provide an indication of the displacement of an internal divider (3 or 10) within the accumulator to provide an indication of the volume of gas within the hydraulic accumulator.
