This paper deals with an experimental study on the unsteady performance in cylindrical choke of the oil hydraulic equipment. Experiments are performed under unsteady flow in which the outlet pressure P2 of the cylindrical choke takes the form of a trapezoid varying with time, keeping the inlet pressure p1 constant. It is found that as the absolute values of the rates of pressure change dp2/dt increase, the incipient cavitation number kci shows a tendency to decrease, and the desinent one, kcd, shows a tendency to increase with three geometric parameters : diameter, length and chamfered length of the choke. The values of kci, and kcd with the chamfered length of chokes are smaller than those with the sharp edge of chokes for various dp2/dt. As the larger absolute values o dp2/dt further increase, the hysteresis between kci and kcd becomes larger for each combination of the cylindrical choke.
