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
