While it is mostly "behind the scenes," lubrication is used wherever you look—in all types of machines, vehicles, and aircrafts. Its usefulness is everywhere, in every industry, from all types of manufacturing, power, health, petrochemicals, food, paper, and metallurgy to small industries and agriculture. Lubrication is absolutely essential to the world.  There is an undeniable link between maintenance strategy and lubrication reliability. Depending on the industry, maintenance costs can represent between 15-60% of the cost of goods produced. Therefore, the reliability of plant and equipment has a significant impact on the profits of any organization. Unfortunately, most problems related to machinery in plants are lubrication-related. To get maximum benefit from advanced maintenance strategies, an understanding of equipment lubrication is a must. That’s why this work is invaluable.  Machinery Lubrication and Reliability contains everything a maintenance, plant, or industrial professional needs to know about lubrication theory, with vital information on all the critical equipment lubrication requirements. It illustrates how to improve reliability, maximize equipment life, eliminate unscheduled shut downs, and reduce operating costs. Rounding out this amazing package are questions and answers for those looking to obtain their ICML certifications. An affiliated web site (www.machinerylubricationreliability.com) contains additional questions for exam takers looking for extra practice.  Features  The only book that covers all the topics for the ICML certification course.Includes the industry standard API-614 throughout.Contains practice questions for the ICML exam at the end of each chapter, along with additional ones on the affiliated website.Dr. Trinath Sahoo is the General Manager of Indian Oil Corporation, Ltd, Paradip Refinery, in Odisha, India.  He is a mechanical engineer with superior standing in both academia and industry.  Dr. Sahoo is a leader in workshops, and speaks often at international conferences held in Egypt, the UK, Canada, Germany, South Africa, and India.  1.

Root Cause Failure AnalysisProvides the knowledge and failure analysis skills necessary for preventing and investigating process equipment failuresProcess equipment and piping systems are essential for plant availability and performance. Regularly exposed to hazardous service conditions and damage mechanisms, these critical plant assets can result in major failures if not effectively monitored and assessed--potentially causing serious injuries and significant business losses. When used proactively, Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) helps reliability engineers inspect the process equipment and piping system before any abnormal conditions occur. RCFA is equally important after a failure happens: it determines the impact of a failure, helps control the resultant damage, and identifies the steps for preventing future problems.Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability offers readers clear understanding of degradation mechanisms of process equipment and the concepts needed to perform industrial RCFA investigations. This comprehensive resource describes the methodology of RCFA and provides multiple techniques and industry practices for identifying, predicting, and evaluating equipment failures. Divided into two parts, the text first introduces Root Cause Analysis, explains the failure analysis process, and discusses the management of both human and latent error. The second part focuses on failure analysis of various components such as bolted joints, mechanical seals, steam traps, gearboxes, bearings, couplings, pumps, and compressors. This authoritative volume:* Illustrates how failures are associated with part integrity, a complete system, or the execution of an engineering process* Describes how proper design, operation, and maintenance of the equipment help to enhance their reliability* Covers analysis techniques and industry practices including 5-Why RCFA, fault tree analysis, Pareto charts, and Ishikawa diagrams* Features a detailed case study of process plant machinery and a chapter on proactive measures for avoiding failuresBridging the gap between engineering education and practical application, Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability is an important reference and guide for industrial professionals, including process plant engineers, planning managers, operation and maintenance engineers, process designers, chemical engineers, and instrument engineers. It is also a valuable text for researchers, instructors, and students in relevant areas of engineering and science.

Focus on turnaround management in process industries is to lengthen the interval between turnarounds. This book outlines a strategy to execute optimized shutdown and turnaround by changing plant operating conditions and inspection techniques including managing more favorable turnaround options, planning and scheduling, estimation, contractor management, and execution.
