PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Written by Dr. E.C. Fitch, the book contains over 340 double column pages which include 400 figures and tables, a comprehensive bibliography, and index. There is no root cause of mechanical failure, known to the author, that has been ignored or left out. Nowhere in the world is this information put together in such a concise and comprehensive manner, and the book will serve as a reference and guide to designers, practising engineers, maintenance technicians, plant managers and operators who must design, maintain and operate fluid–dependent mechanical systems. Completed in the Spring of 1992, this book is rapidly increasing in popularity as more readers recognize that with proactive maintenance, failure avoidance, and a world-class maintenance program can truly be achieved. In proactive maintenance, key system parameters are monitored in order to establish the stability of critical operational factors called the "roots of failure." When these become unstable, action must taken before the onset of failure—hence the name "proactive maintenance." The book contains over 327 double-column pages which include 380 figures and tables, a comprehensive bibliography, and index. The first of its kind, this book is destined to change the way people think about machine maintenance and will open up new areas of technological discovery that will lead to World-Class Maintenance Programs.
