How do we account for variation in design or operating context when performing reliability analysis and building CBM optimization models, for example: Identical equipment working in different operational contexts – can they be treated as a single group of similar units for purposes of reliability analysis? Ten identical pumps deliver different volumes and pressures. Can…
