DESCRIPTION:
Analytical Troubleshooting of Process Machinery and Pressure Vessels provides both students and engineering professionals with the tools necessary for understanding and solving equipment problems in today's complex processing environment. A highly practical troubleshooting tool for today's complex processing industry Evolving industrial technology-driven by the need to increase safety while reducing production losses-along with environmental factors and legal concerns has resulted in an increased emphasis on sound troubleshooting techniques and documentation. This will allow engineering professionals to talk intelligibly with manufacturers, implement modifications required for continued operation, and ultimately help them save millions of dollars in lost production or warranty claims. Drawing on forty years of industrial experience in the petrochemical, transpo
This will allow engineering professionals to talk intelligibly with manufacturers, implement modifications required for continued operation, and ultimately help them save millions of dollars in lost production or warranty claims.Readers will find in-depth coverage of factors that can cause equipment failure, including:Component wear and frettingVibration of machines and pipingInstabilities and sizing of pumps and compressorsThermal loads and stressesGear, bearing, shafting, and coupling loadingCorrosion and materials of constructionBy striking a balance between analytical and practical considerations, each potential problem area is illustrated with case studies taken from the author's own extensive experience and accompanied by methods that can be used to address a variety of related challe

Mandatory Reading and Reference for Complex Problem Solving Warning books like this tend to go out of print (OOP) so grab one while it lasts! Not since Bob Eisenmann's OOP "Machinery Malfunction Diagnosis and Correction" has anyone put so many practical calculations and applicable case histories in one place, which allows the sincere problem solver to do his or her job better. This book has a seemingly unlimited range of applications. From understanding how the force created spinning rotors may be enough to cause repeat and elusive failures, to understanding the impact. "A MUST READ" according to Houston. A MUST READ, July 11, 2012By HoustonThis review is from: Analytical Troubleshooting of Process Machinery and Pressure Vessels: Including Real-World Case Studies (Hardcover)This is a well thought out book by Doctor Sofronas.He has the extensive background and 'on the job, hands on' to thoroughly know the subject.I have personally read the books of others on the subject, but this is truly unique, with the photos, drawings and calculations well done.In total, reading the book is like taking a graduate course at M
