INTRODUCTION

Hydraulic circuit is a system comprising an interconnected set of discrete components

that transport liquid. The purpose of this system may be to control where fluid flows as in a
network of tubes of coolant in a thermodynamic system or to control fluid pressure as in
hydraulic amplifiers. The approach of describing a fluid system in terms of discrete components
is inspired by the success of electrical circuit theory. Just as electric circuit theory works when
elements are discrete and linear, hydraulic circuit theory works best when the elements which
the passive component such as pipes or transmission lines or active components such as power
packs or pumps are discrete and linear. This usually means that hydraulic circuit analysis works
best for long, thin tubes with discrete pumps, as found in chemical process flow systems or
micro scale devices.

Hydraulic press machine is one kind of device used hydraulic oil to deliver
pressure, and hydraulic oil delivers pressure in the sealed container, which is in
accordance with Pascal law. A hydraulic press is a machine (see machine press) using a
hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. It uses the hydraulic equivalent of a
mechanical lever. Hydraulic presses are commonly used for forging, clinching,
moulding, blanking, punching, deep drawing, and metal forming operations.
