Virtual Bookstore Citation Title ON-LINE MONITORING OF CRITICAL COMPONENTS TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY Author(s) EGAN,G. R. ; Corporate Author(s) Report Date 8/1/1980 Page Count 17 Abstract nondestructive techniques of monitoring the structural integrity ofcritical components have advanced sufficiently to encourage a drastic increasein the development and implementation of instrumentation for real-time on-linemonitoring systems. engineering decision-making based on instrument readings isa new approach to improve reliability and availability of critical components.it is argued here that this new practice if properly carried out could yieldlarge benefits both in equipment economics and plant safety.
