Degradation test and Diagnostics

Degradation testing for electromechanical components such as pumps, valves, and sensors involves a series of steps to identify wear and tear that could lead to system failure. The goal is to detect these signs of degradation early enough to replace the part and prevent system failure. For pumps, degradation can be monitored by sensors. A study on gear pumps used an accelerated life test (ALT) to monitor the degradation state. The volumetric effi…
