Now available in its fully revised second edition, this practical guide explains how you can achieve consistently superior run lengths, low maintenance expenditures, and unexcelled safety and reliability in all of your pump applications. Written by two practicing engineers whose combined 80-year working careers included all conceivable facets of pumping technology, this handbook conveys in detail what facilities must do to rapidly accomplish both superior performance and low life-cycle cost for pumps of all types and sizes. Aimed at operating technicians, maintenance professionals, project engineers, reliability engineers and managers, the book is intended for every job function that comes in contact with process pumps. Utilities, power generation facilities, pulp and paper plants, consumer product manufacturers, pharmaceutical plants, mining operations, chemical and petrochemical plants, municipal works, oil and gas pipelines, and oil refineries are among those that can significantly profit from implementing the guidelines described in this unique, experience-based text.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic applied reliability book,
By
This review is from: Pump User's Handbook: Life Extension (Hardcover)
I ordered this book for our company technical library, because i didn't want to purchase it for myself until reading the contents. The only problem now is that all of our Rotating machinery specialists keep checking it out!
The content is highly educational, original, direct to the point, and will improve any pump's mean time between failures. So if you are a beginner to pumps, first purchase Karassik's "Pump Handbook", and then get this one, its well worth it.

Stop Tolerating Unacceptable Pump Reliability,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pump User's Handbook: Life Extension (Hardcover)
In this book are the secrets to increasing pump operating life and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) so that turnaround planning and process reliability remain under your control. Repeat pump reliability failures are acceptable only until they cause major secondary damage or injury and by that time it is too late. So protect yourself from unacceptable consequences by requiring the basic, proven steps to achieving life cycle expectations discussed in this book. Seventy of these books are being put to good use in my refinery alone and they have paid for themselves many times over in terms of reliability improvement, RCFA, and incident/accident prevention.
