Lifetime Assessment
Remaining-Life Assessment
Assess continued-use decisions using service history, condition evidence and relevant mechanisms.
Purpose & Benefit
When This Activity Helps
Use when considering life extension, replacement timing or a changed duty profile. A documented assessment helps make decisions proportionate to the evidence and consequence of failure.
Project Information
Typical Inputs
The scope is tailored to the available evidence. Useful inputs include:
- Service history and accumulated stress exposure
- Condition measurements and degradation evidence
- Relevant lifetime models and intended future use
Engineering Approach
How SPACEREL Supports Your Project
SPACEREL combines available condition and exposure information with justified damage or degradation models. Estimates are conditional on the mechanism, data and future duty profile, with uncertainty and any further inspection or testing needs made explicit.
Documented Outcomes
Typical Deliverables
Deliverables are agreed before work starts and can include:
- Conditional remaining-life assessment
- Model assumptions and evidence limitations
- Inspection, monitoring or replacement recommendations
