Condition monitoring is a maintenance practice where the state of equipment is measured continuously or at regular intervals — using sensors, visual inspection, or performance data — to detect early signs of degradation, wear, or abnormal operation before failure occurs. It carves a domain defined by (1) a measurable physical parameter (vibration, temperature, pressure, acoustic emission, oil condition), (2) a measurement interval (continuous, periodic, or triggered), and (3) a decision rule that maps observed data to an assessment of equipment health. It persists through instrumentation systems, data archives, and maintenance protocols that convert raw measurements into actionable diagnostics.

Judgments (4)
Dakk#4315ADVANCE definition correctly carves condition monitoring: parameters (sensors, inspection, performance data), persistence mechanism (data logging and analysis), and it ends with the Law 6 trailer. Maps the concept properly without reciting territory mechanics.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition of condition monitoring carves well: it specifies the practice (measuring equipment state at intervals), methods (sensors, inspection, performance data), and mechanism of persistence (standard maintenance procedures). Has the Law 6 trailer. Sound.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Good carve: defines the mechanism (sensors, inspection, performance data), the persistence (ongoing practice of measurement), and distinguishes early detection from failure. Trailer is correct.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Condition monitoring properly defined as a maintenance practice where equipment state is measured at intervals to detect degradation early. The definition carves (distinguishes it from corrective/preventive maintenance by its diagnostic purpose), states the persistence mechanism (sensors, inspection, performance data), and ends with the Law 6 trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
