This “Maintenance Engineering Handbook” is written, almost exclusively, by those people who have
had to face the acute never-ending problems of equipment failures, repairs, and upkeep, day by day,
hour by hour, midnight shift by midnight shift. They understand better than most the extraordinary
demands that every maintenance manager, planner, and craftsperson must face and overcome to meet
the everchanging maintenance requirements of today’s plant.
It is the function of “Maintenance Engineering Handbook” to pass along invention, ingenuity, and
a large dose of pure basic science to you, the user. This then is your key, your guide, and your chief
support in the tempestuous battle of Maintenance in the days and years ahead.
Lindley R. Higgins, as editor-in-chief of the first five editions of this handbook, established a
standard for excellence that we have attempted to maintain in this sixth edition. Through the excellent
help of maintenance professionals, we have updated those sections that were in the earlier editions
and have added more than 20 new topics that we believe will help you survive in the battle
against excessive downtime, high maintenance costs, and the myriad other problems that you as a
maintenance professional must face each day.

This book addresses, in a simplistic manner, the proper principles and
techniques in “Best Maintenance Practices—Mechanical.”
If these principles and techniques are followed, they will result in a serious
reduction in “self-induced failures.” This book is a tool that should be carried
and referenced by all mechanical maintenance personnel.
A number of surveys conducted in industries throughout the United States
have found that 70% of equipment failures are self-induced.
Maintenance personnel who are not following what are termed “Best
Maintenance Repair Practices” substantially affect these failures. Between
30% and 50% of the self-induced failures are the result of maintenance
personnel not knowing the basics of maintenance. Maintenance personnel
who, although skilled, choose not to follow best maintenance repair practices
potentially cause another 20% to 30% of those failures. The existence
of this problem has been further validated through the skills assessment
process performed in companies throughout the state of Georgia. This program
evaluated the knowledge of basic maintenance fundamentals through
a combination of written, identification, and performance assessments of
thousands of maintenance personnel from a wide variety of industries.
The results indicated that over 90% lacked complete basic fundamentals
of mechanical maintenance. This book focuses on the “Best Maintenance
Repair Practices” necessary for maintenance personnel to keep equipment
operating at peak reliability and companies functioning more profitably
through reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity and
capacity.

This practical book provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in
rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis. The basics and underlying physics of
vibration signals are first examined. The acquisition and processing of signals are then reviewed
followed by a discussion of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration analysis. Hereafter the important
issue of rectifying faults that have been identified using vibration analysis is covered. The book is
concluded by a review of the other techniques of predictive maintenance such as oil and particle
analysis, ultrasound and infrared thermography. The latest approaches and equipment used together
with current research techniques in vibration analysis are also highlighted in the text.
We would hope that you will gain the following from this book:
• An understanding of the basics of vibration measurement
• The basics of signal analysis
• Understanding the measurement procedures and the characteristics of vibration signals
• Ability to use Data Acquisition equipment for vibration signals
• How to apply vibration analysis for different machinery faults

Objectives of the Book
Reliability, maintenance, and maintainability (henceforth denoted R&M) are important
in nearly every endeavor that deals with engineered and manufactured
goods. Thus the number of areas of application is very large, and the number of specific
applications is virtually endless. The cases presented in this book illustrate the
range of applications. Reliability applications include consumer goods (a motorcycle,
an automobile, a DVD player), commercial goods (a photocopier), software, infrastructure
(an underground gas pipeline, a system of dikes), aerospace (a space interferometer,
a missile system), construction (cladding for buildings), and so forth.
Maintenance applications include plant maintenance, aircraft engines, and mining
equipment, to name a few.
In addition, reliability overlaps many disciplines, and both researchers and practitioners
come from many backgrounds. As a result, reliability and maintenance are
considered from different perspectives, some relatively narrow and some quite
broad and inclusive. Disciplines involved in the study of R&M issues include all
fields of engineering (aerospace, automotive, civil, electrical, mechanical, etc.), materials
science, probability, statistics, operations analysis, marketing, management,
and so forth, as well as application specific disciplines.
There is a vast literature on reliability, maintainability, and maintenance, including
many thousands of articles and a large number of books. Most early books on
reliability dealt mainly with the theoretical aspects, focusing on concepts, tools, and
techniques. With few exceptions, the examples given in these and many later books
are often contrived or based on simulated data, or both. Furthermore, when real data
are used, there is typically very little discussion of its origin, on the one hand, or of
the broader implications of the results (e.g., engineering design, business management,
economic), on the other. As is often the case, therefore, there exists a considerable
gap between theory and applications.
One of the key objectives of this book is to attempt

Major Process Equipment Maintenance And Repair






The readers of the four volumes on “Machinery Management” can be di-
- those who can say: That’s exactly what happened to me back in 19-- !
- those who can say: Why didn’t I know this back in 19-- ?!
- those who can say: I hope I’ll remember all this when I am in charge!
In other words, those with a lot, a little, and no experience stand to benefit
from studying these four volumes. Maybe some of the people with a lot of experience
could find other ways to solve a particular case, but even they cannot
match the knowledge and experience that the authors amassed in these books.
In the past, many a good Machinery Manager was “made” through many
years of experience, and also through many costly mistakes. These “experts”
passed on their experience to the people they worked with, but seldom could
experience gained in one particular location prepare someone for the multitude
of things that can go wrong. It is because of this that the authors must be commended
for their effort to disseminate not only their experience, but also the
lessons they learned from many other experts.
Volume 4 complements the first three books by focusing on major equipment
installation and repair-foundations, pumps, blowers, turbines, electric motors,
and lubrication and storage. These four volumes contain a wealth of information
on machinery found in most petrochemical plants, and in their quest for perfection,
three principal groups will benefit from this text: Those who design machinery,
those who maintain machinery, and those who operate machinery.
As a manufacturer of machinery, I realize that only knowledgeable people can
fully utilize our efforts to make the best machines, to give guidelines on how to
optimally maintain these machines, and finally how to best operate these machines.
Used in conjunction with the preceding three volumes or used alone, this
book will make the reader a knowledgeable person.

Springer Series in Reliability Engineering



Maintenance involves preventive (planned) and
unplanned actions carried out to
retain a system at or restore it to an acceptable operating condition. Optimal
maintenance policies aim to provide optimum system reliability and safety
performance at the lowest possible maintenance costs. Proper maintenance
techniques have been emphasized due to increased safety and reliability
requirements of systems, increased complexity, and rising costs of material and
labor (Sheriff and Smith 1981). For some systems, such as aircraft, submarines,
military systems, aerospace systems, it is extremely important to avoid failure
during actual operation because it is dangerous and disastrous. One important
research area in reliability engineering is the study of various maintenance policies
in order to improve system reliability, to prevent the occurrence of system failure,
and to reduce maintenance costs (Pham and Wang 1996).
In the past several decades, maintenance, replacement and
