Abstract
In certain embodiments, a system may include a condition based replacement life (CBRL) approval system configured to receive a turbomachinery component data and to approve a turbomachinery component for CBRL based on the turbomachinery component data. The system further includes a CBRL validation system configured to repair the turbomachinery component into a repaired turbomachinery component, wherein the repaired turbomachinery component is configured to operate in a turbomachinery beyond a service time of the turbomachinery component.

11. A method, comprising:
-
approving a turbomachinery component for use in a condition based replacement life (CBRL) activity, wherein the approving the turbomachinery component comprises; determining if a first deterioration of the turbomachinery component is observable in a field environment; determining if a second deterioration of the turbomachinery component is observable in a service and repair shop; approving the turbomachinery component based at least in part on the determining the if the first and the second deteriorations are observable; and validating the turbomachinery component after the approving the turbomachinery component for use in the CBRL activity, wherein the validating the turbomachinery component comprises; inspecting the turbomachinery component, repairing the turbomachinery component, or a combination thereof; tracking a usage of the turbomachinery component in a turbomachinery after the inspecting, the repairing, of the combination thereof; evaluating a performance of the turbomachinery component in the turbomachinery, wherein the CBRL activity comprises using the turbomachinery component in the turbomachinery beyond a service time of the turbomachinery component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
