P-F Curve Analysis for Predictive Maintenance

This document outlines a P-F curve that shows the progression of potential failure for a machine from the earliest detectable signs to functional failure. It indicates that vibration analysis can detect failure starting to occur from 1-9 months before failure, while oil analysis detects wear debris from 1-6 months before. Particle counts and ISO codes aim to prevent failure by ensuring no excessive solid particulate. Audible noise may be detected 1-4 weeks before failure, heat can be felt 1-5 days before, and functional failure occurs at the end of the progression. The monitoring period can help detect issues by dividing the time periods by 3.
