The manner in which an asset, component or system fails to perform its intended function.
A Failure Mode describes the specific way in which equipment, components or systems fail to meet their intended function. Examples include leakage, fracture, seizure, loss of containment, electrical short circuit or loss of signal. Failure Modes are fundamental elements of reliability engineering and are widely used in maintenance strategy development and risk assessments.
Failure Modes provide a consistent framework for analyzing equipment reliability, identifying risks and selecting appropriate maintenance and inspection activities.
Each Failure Mode may be caused by one or more Failure Mechanisms and may result in multiple operational or safety consequences.
A Failure Mode describes what failed, whereas a Failure Mechanism explains how the failure physically occurred.
