Weight Growth %X A recently developed method has proven useful in efficient management of properties tasks. The method is a statistical analysis for determining potential weight growth. Using data of estimated, calculated, and actual weights from past designs for similar end items, the percent differences between estimated and actual weights and calculated and actual weights we determined and standard deviations calculated. Using tolerance factors available from statistical tables, a family of curves is constructed for each end item showing weight potential growth versus time. The effects of potential weight growth on the useful load is then obtained. It can be determined if the useful load margin is adequate, if changes to the vehicle or software are required, and if the vehicle needs to be weighed. This method has the advantage of showing how the weight growth bf an end item varies with time. %B 34th Annual Conference, Seattle, Washington, May 5-7 %I Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc. %C Seattle, Washington %P 15 %8 5/5/75 %G eng %U https://www.sawe.org/papers/1046/buy %9 26.
