Dear experts: I want to learn about the maintenance of chemical processing equipment and work in this field, but I’m not sure which books can help me get started as quickly as possible Learn the basic maintenance of equipment such as pumps, motors, and hydraulic systems.
It depends on where you are. If you are a technician on site, it is recommended that you choose books related to the type of work you do. If you graduated from a mechanical engineering program, then you have the opportunity to work on equipment inspection. Then one should learn more about theory, mechanical drawing, and tolerance fitting – these are the fundamentals. For stationary equipment, standards such as GB150 and GB151 are essential to know. In addition, knowledge of welding and non-destructive testing is also important. For dry-running equipment, the main focus is mechanical vibration and analysis. Do not go ahead with calculations if it’s not a highly academic recommendation. It’s sufficient to analyze the results obtained using a point measurement instrument; however, what a reporter can measure are not the true values. The rotating part cannot be measured directly – its effects can only be transmitted to the stationary part. Determining these values requires years of experience and experimentation. Then conduct an analysis. For small pumps, the main issue is usually related to the mechanical seal; once the source of the leakage is identified, there are basically no more problems!
