Appreciate the response Ed.
Yes I am talking about predictive maintenance.
Yes it is safety driven.
Specifically, I'm researching this for amusement park rides. There are many ASTM standards for rides, but none with regards to predictive maintenance. This is why I am asking for other industry...
Does an ASTM standard exist, across any industry, for a duration before components need to be NDTed?
