Offered in 0 more formatsRetired reliability engineer Bloch assembles a wide array of data and ideas for mechanics, machinists, and lubrications specialists as well as his own colleagues, to help them understand what matters most in a lubricant and distinguish mere sales talk from relevant facts. He discusses such topics as the principles of lubrication; general purpose oils to inhibit rust and oxidation; hydraulic fluids; environmentally friendly, synthetic, and forest-product and paper machine lubricants; lubricating greases; pastes; waxes; tribosystems; oil mist lubrication systems; bearings; and handling and analyzing lubricants. He includes a glossary. US distribution is by Marcel Dekker. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This superb reference provides a thorough understanding of lubricant-related manufacturing problems and procedures, from specification, selection, substitution, application, and analysis to replacement, in-situ purification, consolidation, handling, and storage. It compares lubrication strategies for electric motor bearings; closed and open and large and small gears; compressors and gas engines; and steam and gas turbines, highlighting machine components that require proper lubrication for long-term, satisfactory, and economical operation.
Presenting comprehensive introductory material that emphasizes the four lubricant categories and the significance of a lubricant's parameter, Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities discusses
o applications essential for lube oil conservation and consolidation projects
o heavy duty hydraulic oil requirements
o mineral and synthetic food-grade oils
o the merits of the most important synthetic hydrocarbon oils
o appropriate lubricants for forest products and paper machinery
o the characteristics of competitive lubricating greases
o the benefits and pitfalls of particular pastes, waxes, and tribosystems
o lubricant delivery systems, including centralized grease and fully automated oil mist lubrication systems
o and much more!
Containing a quick-reference glossary of industry terms, an on-the-job lubrication program manual, and numerous illustrations, Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities is a must-have source for mechanical, lubrication, chemical, automotive, aerospace, design, aeronautical, plant, power, system, maintenance, manufacturing, heat transfer, and petroleum engineers; tribologists; research and petroleum chemists; lubricant formulators; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
