Hello there,
I am trying to build up a Reliability Block Diagram for a gas plant. I have collated data from the OREDA Handbook Data (2002) for various valves, equipment etc. I have data for Critical Failure Rate per 10^6 hours (Mean, SD and n/t values), and Mean Repair Time (man-hours).
I need to convert this data so I can enter it as Weibull data. Can I obtain values for Weibull Shape factor (Beta values) and Weibull Characteristic Life--hours (Eta Values). How can I do this - or can I enter it in another format?
The reason I ask is I am trying to enter the data within Reliasoft’s BlockSim.
Thanks
Lloyd
