Which risk increases in hydraulic systems employing long, unsupported flexible hoses experiencing rapid pressure changes?

💡 Explanation

When flexible hoses experience rapid pressure drops, cavitation occurs because the hose wall can collapse inward creating low pressure zones where the fluid vaporizes, leading to bubble formation and subsequent implosion. Therefore cavitation damage from hose collapse is elevated, rather than rupture, contamination, or signal delay which depend on sustained high pressure, chemical reactions, or signal transmission respectively.
