To obtain good correlation between field durability experience and the Laboratory, it is necessary in Laboratory experiments to include those field conditions influencing and affecting the life of engine parts.
The vital first step.…correct analysis of the field problem.…is difficult but rewarding. With good definition, the solutions for field problems often become clear.
Accelerated tests and split tests simulating field operations, followed by confirming field tests, are good tools to aid the Laboratory development of durable engine.
