Procedures FITNET were developed by the European Fitness-for-service Thematic Network. One of the modules of this procedure is module fatigue of materials and construction. In this paper, the authors focused on the path 2b of this module, which refer to determination of fatigue life of components made of homogeneous material for which we can accept the linear-elastic characteristics (estimated of unlimited and limited fatigue life). Because this procedure is dedicated to engineers, there is the question how credible this method is. Aim of this study is to verify the accuracy of the presented above procedure for estimation of limited fatigue life. The verification was based on experimental data of structural materials which are widely used in practice.
