SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUALITATIVE INDICATION OF CUMULATIVE WEAR STATUS

摘要

A method for the determination and qualitative indication of cumulative wear status of a complex system having a plurality of individual components, comprises the following steps: measuring a plurality of parameters corresponding to the usage status of a plurality of individual components in a system; storing the values of the measured parameters; weighting the values of the measured parameters according to a predetermined formula; calculating a single value from the predetermined formula; and displaying a single indicator indicative of the qualitative wear status of the overall system.
