Preventive assessment of liners' lifetime is very important for the public health. Fatigue is the main reason of mechanical failure at least in 90 % of fractures during blood banks 'centrifuges operations. The aim of this study is to develop a formula to estimate lifetime of polymeric liners. The results from experimental and analytical study are pointed out in a diagram. Using our presented formula enables one to estimate approximately when a liner should be replaced before unwanted fracture might occur.
