Normally we always use double o-rings but at low pressure there is a concern that it (the pressure) is insufficient to get a good seal for either of the o-rings. Thanks for your time!

I have a (destructive) screening test that enables me to determine whether samples I test would fail within 15 years. Unfortunately, the test cannot provide failure data indicating failures beyond this point. Therefore the true failure distribution is unknown. How do I determine the number of samples I need to test in order to provide myself with confidence that say, 95% of the day's output will last at least 15 years? Thanks
