← TechnologyWhich risk increases when pilot-operated relief valves in a hydraulic system experience significant spool sticking?
A)Pressure intensification and system rupture✓
B)Reduced actuator response time consistently
C)Increased fluid laminar flow efficiently
D)Decreased volumetric pump cavitation
💡 Explanation
Pressure intensification and system rupture risk increases because the valve's pilot stage fails to modulate the main spool, therefore causing uncontrolled pressure to build rather than relieving excess hydraulic fluid during transient pressure spikes.
