The purpose of this research is to find the relation between stress and strain called as the Flow Stress Curve for 0.4 mm thickness stainless steel (SS 304). Two main methods are used: the Uniaxial tensile test and the Hydraulic Bulge Test (HBT). The relation between stress and strain from both methods would then be compared and simulated into cubic-shaped models by using Finite Element method. Results show that sheet metal formation simulated by using the flow stress curve obtained from Hydraulic bulge test can have the height of up to 40 millimeters before the work piece starts to lacerate. On the other hand if the flow stress curve obtained from Uniaxial tensile test is used the work piece will only be able to form about 15 millimeters before lacerating. The preliminary summary for this research can be said that the analysis for Hydraulic bulge test gives better results than Uniaxial tensile test as it has similar conditions to the actual formation process.

Recently Hydraulic Press has been generally used as a labor-saving device in several functions through industrial section. Previously most of the factory merely concern about using this powerful device and that caused so much electric energy wasted during the pending process on equipment transformation. Therefore our team initiated a conceptual study of energy consumption on using hydraulic press. The invention of hydraulic press for the study of electric energy requires hydraulic devices installation. This includes 3.7 kW 3 phases system induction motor and VSD hydraulic pump single shaft 2 sets set 1 low flow high pressure at flow rate 3.65 liters per minute and set 2 high flow low pressure at flow rate 6.79 liters per minute and total flow rate 10.44 liters per minute pressure relief valve and 2 ports 2 positions Bypass control valve and 4 ports 3 positions directional control valve double acting cylinder 100 mm diameter and 250 mm stroke and pressure gauge. The experiment on energy consumption using hydraulic press has been considered in 5 cases. Each case operated by different hydraulic devices in order to observe the differences of energy consumption. The result of experiment showed that case 1 had electric energy lost the most the rate of loss will increase as a percentage of the increase in pending. Case 2 to 4 with the lost of electric energy are similar. Case 5 is bringing the case 4 added VSD to adjust the speed of the electric motor is reduced to 435 rpm during the waiting period so this case had the lost of energy is minimal. After comparative experiment between case 1 and the other 4 cases during the pending process on equipment transformation at 20% - 200% it revealed that case 2 reduced electric energy wasted more than case 1 accounted for 17.07% - 30.46% while case 3 to 5 reduced electric energy wasted more than case 1 accounted for 16.06% - 29.52% 17.37% - 30.80% and 23.90% - 50.55% respectively

The objective of this research was to study and evaluate of the efficiency of moisture separation from hydraulic oil. This method was conducted by mixing pure water and oil in an oil tank which was classified into 4 cases: 250 ppm. 500 ppm. 750 ppm. and 1000 ppm. The results showed that when the maximum quantity of water was 1000 ppm. the 710 ppm. of moisture could be separated from hydraulic oil. The highest temperature at 70ฐC was utilized when that water was 750 ppm. The maximum efficiency was 80% when the quantity of water was 500 ppm.

Hydraulic machines were used in both medium and large scale From industries studying problems of hydraulic systems around 70-80 percentage of the machine expiration was due to the deterioration of hydraulic oil from contamination so the best way to maintain the hydraulic machine was to take care of hydraulic oil to have the purity level and other properties suitable for the components in those machines. This article described the duty of hydraulic oil types of contamination sources of contamination the standard for measuring the purity level of oil equipments used to measure and analyze the contamination in hydraulic oil recommended purity levels the effects from the contamination in hydraulic oil to machine and methods to protect and to eliminate the contamination in hydraulic oil. All of these were useful as the guidelines to maintain the hydraulic machines to work in high efficiency and more long life time.
