A study on the reliability evaluation of industrial felt

The following study was focused on developing the technology for the evaluation of industrial felt when reliability test among industrial felt is critical. As such, the intentions are to secure reliability of the products, to be used actively for inspecting the reliability of new innovative products, and to help increase quality. The research placed industrial felt in an even more strenuous condition that’s different from the actual conditions they are normally used under in order to accelerate the potential for failure. Therefore, the results of the study have confirmed that an accelerated testing criteria conducted under a 30 day period was a good proxy for a year-long usage condition. Additionally, the results show that the old product’s strength is only about 50 % of the new product, which is a considerable difference. The reasons for such degradation are due to the reduction in coherence between fabrics which causes destruction in the fibrous tissue which in turn causes a reduction in strength values. Consequently, this study attempts to evaluate the performance and quality of the felt in order to establish a relationship between lifespan and performance. With this, the research deems possible that the process can be applied on the evaluation of the durability life of industrial felt products.
