Containing information that will help
to identify the cause of equipment failure in your plant and so reduce its
incidence, this book has been written specifically for engineers and managers in
most industrial sectors.
-
Learn about trends in equipment
failure rates, costs, mechanisms and causes in different sectors of industry
-
Find out how solutions to aviation
equipment failures can be applied to other industries through the use of
fracture mechanics and corrosion prediction
-
Learn how to improve the failure
resistance of welded joints
-
Discover how these factors can
become part of a strategy for reducing failure rates in industries such
as gas processing, power generation, pulp and paper production, petrochemical,
chemical processing, and others
