The method of technical condition description dedicated for engineering software development

The conscious technical condition description preparation of technical means elements should be supported with computer aid software and a database. The basic and the most important aspect is elimination of classes interchange in a description, which is present and common in industry. The article presents wide comparison of wear classifications that can be met in literature, and which are the basis for technical mean description. Furthermore the proposed classification should have assigned direct coding for each class in order to maintain correct relations. The proposed description method consist division to main classes groups as: wear, damage and destruction. Paper presents examples of classification assignment for elements technical state description stored in data base table with mentioned coding. It’s also possible to gather description in tables with various data (measurements values of quantities, photographs, thermographs etc.).
