3、is is to learn how rapidly the machine andfluid are deteriorating.A significant change in trend is indicative of a developing failure.Interventionin the early stages of deterioration is much more cost effective than failure of the machine.Maximum reliability of in-service machine components and flui
4、ds requires a program of conditionmonitoring to provide timely indications of performance and remaining usable life.To achieve thesegoals,a condition monitoring program should monitor the rate of progression of the failure byincluding sufficient tests to determine the rate of degradation,increase of
5、 contaminants,and quantityand identity of metal debris from corrosion or wear.The condition monitoring process determines the presence of oil-related failure modes,allowingremedial maintenance to take place before failure and subsequently expensive equipment damageoccurs.In order to diagnose and pre
6、dict machinery and fluid condition,the rate of change of machinecondition must be trended.Equipment maintainers expect conditionmonitoring information to clearlyand consistently indicate machinery condition,that is,the rate-of-change of component damage overtime and the risk of failure.Trending util
