For maintenance pros focused on reliability, the P-F Curve is a useful tool. Proactive steps that you take at the front of the curve, such as precision alignment, asset condition management, vibration analysis, and more, can effectively extend the curve and the life of your assets, experience has proven. In this webinar, Fluke Reliability…
The Potential Failure (P-F) Curve is a visual tool for communicating the condition of a component and its decline toward failure. With an optimized maintenance program, you can prolong the time until failure takes place and schedule needed maintenance actions for the most convenient times. What is the purpose of the P-F Curve? The P-F…
The P-F Curve is a concept illustrating an asset’s progression toward failure. The X-axis of the chart represents the time to failure, beginning with an asset’s design and installation, and the Y-axis represents an asset’s resistance to failure. Potential failure, or PF, is a detectable state of failure, or the point when degradation begins. Functional failure, or FF, is when the asset has reached a…
