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.

Now completely revised and updated, this definitive reference provides a comprehensive resource on the fundamental principles of lubricant application, what products are available, and which lubricants are most effective for specific applications. It also offers a detailed and highly practical discussion of lubrication delivery systems. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of the "why" of relevant industrial lubrication practices, and, importantly, how these practices will facilitate optimized results. Lubricant applications covered include bearings and machine elements in earthbound electric motors, process pumps, gas compressors, gas and steam turbines, as well as many other machine types. An examination of the most advantageous ways to procure lubricants, to understand contaminant filtration, and to implement cost-justified means of lubricant storage is presented. Also provided are expert tips on lubricant handling techniques, procedural setups, how and when to perform oil analyses, critical maintenance practices, equipment reliability issues, and more.
