Measurements

To measure the value of multiple situational variables (measurements) that relate to a serialized item, and compare these to preset boundary values. Inspections can establish the necessity of maintenance activities. Reference activity related to a set of measurement types.

Determination of the value of a particular dependent variable of a serialized item in a specific situation, for example, cooling water intake temperature.

A measurable (physical) variable and an identification of the unit of this variable, for example, pressure in kPa.

The indication in which the unit of measurement is expressed.

Unit of measurement, which determines the dependent variable. Also known as the x-variable.

Unit of measurement, which together with a norm value (and a start value)determines when maintenance activities must be carried out. The value of this variable is determined when the measurement is executed. Also y-variable, this variable depends on the x-variable; y = f(x).

The estimated behavior of the value of the dependent variable, for example, the tread of a tire, as a function of the independent variable, for example, time. Possibilities include increasing, decreasing, cyclic increasing, cyclic decreasing, between limits, outside limits, or none.
