Summary

Some experiences within a hearing manufacturing company (SKF) on endurance testing of rolling bearings employing the type III extreme-value (Weibull) distribution of the minimums are exposed. Pivotal Weibull statistics for test planning and evaluation have been modified and extended. Empirical expressions for some statistics are given thus substituting the large number of statistical tables otherwise needed. The emphasis in present paper will be on the practical application of the Weibull statistics especially for estimation of the L10-life.
