Data records
- The P-F curve is a reliability model that plots the condition of an item against time from the point at which a potential failure first becomes detectable (P) to the point of functional failure (F); the P-F interval between the two bounds how often an inspection must take place to find the deterioration in time.
- The term is written P-F curve. Value: P-F curve.
