Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Drift or Calibration Loss
Cause: Mechanical stress from vibration, thermal cycling, or physical shock causing internal component misalignment or sensor element degradation over time.
Electrical Failure (Open/Short Circuit)
Cause: Moisture ingress, corrosion of contacts, or wire fatigue from repeated flexing, especially in harsh industrial environments with humidity, chemicals, or temperature extremes.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Inconsistent or erratic readings compared to known reference levels, indicating potential drift or internal damage.
  • Physical damage such as cracks in the housing, loose mounting, or visible corrosion on connectors, suggesting compromised integrity.
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular calibration checks against a stable reference and use vibration-damping mounts to minimize mechanical stress and maintain accuracy.
  • Ensure proper environmental sealing (e.g., IP-rated enclosures) and secure, strain-relieved cable management to protect against moisture, corrosion, and wire fatigue.
