 TOPICS

1. Common role of B-T Curve in the life span of machine tools

2. Role of testing machines in industry

WHAT IS B-T CURVE ?
This curve simply represents overall life cycle of assets and
failure rate of overall population of assets over time.
Why the Bathtub Curve Graph ?
We like seeing visual aids because they help with understanding and retention of
information. That's why graphs are an efficient way to display data. One such graph has
been likened to the shape of a bathtub. It's commonly used in reliability engineering and
deals with data connected to failures. Based on the age and performance of an asset,
certain predictive maintenance techniques can catch failures before they occur.
 Monitoring the Trend of Failure

Whenever a new product is introduced, the chances of

early failure are there. The Bathtub-inspired curve can
help developers address particular issues.

1. The first part of the curve is for displaying a

decreasing failure rate.
2. The second part is for denoting a constant failure
rate (or random failures).
3. Now, the last part is for wear-out failures.
 As the name suggests, it's for displaying the failures that arise due to the age of a
machine or product.

A bathtub curve maps out three

periods that an asset experiences
within its lifetime:

1. Infant mortality period

2. Normal life period
3. Wear-out period
 What Is the Infant Mortality Period?

The infant mortality period, also known as the

early failure period, begins when a product is
used for the first time. It is an interval
characterized by a decreasing failure rate, and
it starts from a high failure occurrence,
quickly decreasing to a lower failure rate, and
plateauing.

Failures that occur within this time are usually

driven by manufacturing defects or
installation issues. Other causes of failure
events in this period could be design flaws.
 What Is the Normal Life Period?

Once the failure rate levels out after the

initial operation period, the normal life
kicks in. This region of the curve is also
known as the useful life period, and
operators expect assets in it to have a
relatively constant failure rate.
With increased usage, and as the assets
undergo normal wear.
 What Is the Wear-Out Period?

Assets naturally deteriorate over time. The

number of failure occurrences that an asset
experiences predictably increases after a
certain usage period. The wear-out region in
the bathtub curve is characterized by this
increasing failure rate trend. As failure rates
increase quickly before the end of an asset
life cycle, the bathtub curve slopes sharply
upward. Eventually, this leads to the total
failure of an asset.
 ROLE OF TESTING OF MACHINES IN INDUSTRY

Testing is the process of critical examination of items quality and performance.

1. New plant setup

2. We can solve the problems after the testing.
3. The health of the equipment is known by testing.
4. Helps in following the company standards.
5. Regular testing can prevent the heavy breakdown.
6. Ensure The machines Secure and reliable working conditions
7. Replace or discard of old machinery
