A powerful methodology of reliability testing is described. This technique is based on the application of dimensional analysis. The whole process of determination of reliability consists of the choosing the relevant physical quantities, calculation the corresponding complete set of dimensionless variables, obtaining the Model Law, and the determination of the limited condition of reliability for the product (prototype). The application of the presented methodology is demonstrated on the example of the determination of reliability of revolving disc.
