Practical machinery management for process plants. Volume 2: Machinery failure analysis and troubleshooting
This book offers methods for analyzing and troubleshooting machinery component distress. It is a systematic approach to machinery failures involving gears, rolling-element bearing, sliding bearings, bolting, couplings, mechanical seals, pumps, compressors, electric motors, steam turbines, and similar equipment. It treats formal failure-analysis reporting techniques in depth, showing organizational and procedural requirements for the successful definition of root-cause problems. the text devotes coverage to vibration analysis, emphasizing spectrum analysis and pattern recognition, and the meaning of definable differences in good vs. detective machinery vibration signature spectra. It also covers the application of sneak analysis.
