Predictive Maintenance of Pumps Using Condition Monitoring by Raymond S. Beebe. This book shows how condition monitoring can be applied to detect internal degradation in pumps so that appropriate maintenance can be decided upon based on actual condition rather than an arbitrary time scales. The book focuses on the main condition monitoring techniques particularly relevant to pumps (vibration analysis, performance …

Some welding processes resemble both soldering and brazing and molten metal is applied to produce a joint between the two pieces. However, in welding, the added metal is, more often than not, of similar composition to the metals being joined, and the joined pieces are melted locally so differences between the weld metal and the pieces being joined are structural …
