Abstract
A method of predicting the remaining operational life of a component including generating a plurality of component data utilizing a machinery monitoring system including a database having at least one rule set, the component data indicative of a least one operational parameter of the component, trending the component data utilizing the rule set, and extrapolating the trended data to facilitate predicting the remaining operational life of the component.
Claims20
A method of predicting the remaining operational life of a component, said method comprising:
- generating a plurality of component data samples utilizing a machinery monitoring system including a database having at least one rule set, the component data samples indicative of at least one operational parameter of the component;
- communicating the component data samples to a first auto-buffer;
- trending the component data samples utilizing the rule set;
- extrapolating the trended data to facilitate predicting the remaining operational life of the component;
- and
- outputting the remaining operational life of the component.
A computer program encoded on a computer readable medium for predicting the remaining operational life of a component, said computer program configured to:
- generate a plurality of component data samples utilizing a machinery monitoring system including a database having at least one rule set, the component data samples indicative of at least one operational parameter of the component;
- communicate the component data samples to a first auto-buffer;
- trend the component data samples utilizing the rule set;
- extrapolate the trended data to facilitate predicting the remaining operational life of the component;
- and
- output the remaining operational life of the component.
