Which outcome is triggered when fluid velocity increases within a hydraulic intensifier?

A)Cavitation erodes valve surfaces
B)Increased actuator response time
C)System pressure reaches bypass
D)Fluid viscosity temporarily increases

💡 Explanation

Cavitation occurs because a rapid increase in fluid velocity lowers pressure, creating vapor bubbles. The implosion of these bubbles damages nearby surfaces through the mechanism of material fatigue. Therefore, valve erosion happens, rather than bypass or viscosity increase at these low pressure regions.
