Year: 2014 Language: english Author: Julien LeBleu, Jr. and Robert Perez Genre: Handbook Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 106 Description: Rotating machines power our production facilities by safely transporting a wide variety of liquids, gases, and solids. Those of you who have worked in a production site for any length of time know that not all process machines are created equal. Some are more critical than others; some are small and some are very large; some spin fast and some turn very slowly. The great diversity in their construction and application can be daunting to a new operator and a challenge to the veteran. When process machines fail catastrophically, bad things happen. These bad things are called consequences; but not all consequences are equal. For example, if a critical machine fails, the consequence can be the stoppage of an entire process or even an entire process facility, which may have a significant cost related to the outage if it is lengthy. Another consequence associated with machinery failure is the release of a dangerous process fluid if its seal fails. A final example is the cost of a major machine failure. If an internal mechanical failure is not detected early, more and more secondary damage will be incurred, eventually resulting in a hefty repair bill. Catastrophic failure can cause serious safety and environmental issues as well.

Description: Rotating machines power our production facilities by safely transporting a wide variety of liquids,
gases, and solids. Those of you who have worked in a production site for any length of time know that
not all process machines are created equal. Some are more critical than others; some are small and
some are very large; some spin fast and some turn very slowly. The great diversity in their
construction and application can be daunting to a new operator and a challenge to the veteran.
When process machines fail catastrophically, bad things happen. These bad things are called
consequences; but not all consequences are equal. For example, if a critical machine fails, the
consequence can be the stoppage of an entire process or even an entire process facility, which may
have a significant cost related to the outage if it is lengthy. Another consequence associated with
machinery failure is the release of a dangerous process fluid if its seal fails. A final example is the
cost of a major machine failure. If an internal mechanical failure is not detected early, more and more
secondary damage will be incurred, eventually resulting in a hefty repair bill. Catastrophic failure
can cause serious safety and environmental issues as well.
