Mold Life Remaining
Track remaining mold life and defect-rate replacement status.
Description
A mold can reach its rated cast count or exceed a chosen defect-rate criterion.
A mold can reach its rated cast count or exceed a chosen defect-rate criterion. Tracking those triggers separately explains why replacement is due.1
Track remaining mold life and defect-rate replacement status.
When to use Mold Life Remaining
Use this tool to track remaining mold life and defect-rate replacement status.
Prepare production measurements or checklist records for one planning period. Confirm units, staffing assumptions and caller-selected criteria before running the calculation.
How to use Mold Life Remaining and understand its results
- Prepare production measurements or checklist records for one planning period. Confirm units, staffing assumptions and caller-selected criteria before running the calculation.
- Enter ratedCastCount, completedCastCount, observedDefectRatePercent, maximumDefectRatePercent using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read ratedCastsRemaining, lifeUsedPercent, defectRateAcceptable, replacementDue. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| ratedCastCount | Rated mold casts | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| completedCastCount | Completed casts | integer; minimum: 0 | Required |
| observedDefectRatePercent | Observed defect rate (%) | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
| maximumDefectRatePercent | Maximum defect rate (%) | number; minimum: 0 | Required |
Enter positive integer rated casts, nonnegative completed casts not above rating and nonnegative defect percentages. Return remaining casts, life used, inclusive defect acceptability and replacement flag.
remaining=rated−completed; replacementDue=(remaining=0) OR (observedDefectRate>maximum) Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| ratedCastsRemaining | Rated casts remaining | integer; minimum: 0 |
| lifeUsedPercent | Rated life used (%) | number; minimum: 0 |
| defectRateAcceptable | Defect rate acceptable | boolean |
| replacementDue | Replacement due | boolean |
{
"input": {
"ratedCastCount": 100,
"completedCastCount": 75,
"observedDefectRatePercent": 2,
"maximumDefectRatePercent": 5

}Limitations and assumptions
Percentages are not independently capped at 100. Ratings and defect measurements are supplied; wear progression, material condition and individual cast defects are not predicted.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
