The development of a hydroforming operation requires a lot of tests to accurately determine the optimal production loads and to obtain a part without defects. When testing the hydroforming of the sheet is limited by the curve of the deformation in the center of the piece in view of the mounting of realization. This work consists in carrying out experimental hydroforming tests of the sheets in order to determine the load to be applied with the chosen thickness.}}
