Predictive Reliability

P-F Curve & Interval

The visual representation of asset degradation illustrating how early condition monitoring intercepts catastrophic functional breakdowns.

Mathematical Formula

Standard Formula
Time Elapsed Between Initial Detectable Defect (P) and Functional Failure (F)

World-Class Industry Benchmark:

Ultrasound/Vibration provides 1–6 month warning; Oil analysis gives 1–3 months; Audible noise gives days; Heat gives hours.
