A hydroforming unit comprises a mould (19,20) that can be opened and sealing arrangements (30-33; 35-39) for sealing the ends of a tube-formed blank (16) placed in the mould,each one of the sealing arrangements (30-33; 35-39) comprises a ring (30, 35) with a thin wall that fits into the inner surface of the tube (16), and a plug (33, 36) that can be displaced in an axial direction mounted axially inside of the ring, and an arrangement (32,37) for initially drawing the plug (33, 36) outwards to put the ring under elastic tension against the inside of the tube-formed blank so that the plug and the ring together form a seal.
