Soft Time, Hard Time, and OCCM Components
by Joe
ANSWER: A soft time interval is one that is chosen by an operator to be done at a specific interval but may be adjusted to fit their operational schedule. This interval may or may not be recommended by the manufacturer. A hard time component is a component that requires a specific action at a specific interval (overhaul, refurbishment, bench check, etc.) per the manufacturers recommendations. An on condition component is a component that is operated until failure or malfunction and is replaced at that time. A condition monitored component is a component that is tested or inspected at certain intervals and is monitored to detect a deteriorated condition. These components are replaced when a predetermined condition has been reached. |
