Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This document applies to prognostics of gas turbine engines and
its related auxiliary and subsystems. Its purpose is to define the
meaning of prognostics with regard to gas turbine engines and
related subsystems, explain its potential and limitations, and to
provide guidelines for potential approaches for use in existing
condition monitoring environments. It also includes some
examples.
Field of Application
This document seeks to meet the increasing interest in gas
turbine engine prognostics. Specifically, the document tries to
provide a timely guideline for applying prognostic technologies to
enhance the capability of current monitoring and diagnostic
systems. Some examples are provided that are intended to illustrate
different approaches and methodologies.
