A unique 300 page Encyclopaedia.

Some 1500 words and expressions related to Condition Monitoring, briefly defined and explained, with cross-referencing, and illustrations and examples where helpful. This useful book also provides pointers to appropriate Condition Monitoring for Industries, Systems and Components. The indices include listings of the monitors and monitoring techniques included in the Encyclopaedia.

INCLUDES a 70 page Introduction to Condition Monitoring Techniques

Introductions to Condition Monitoring covering the 15 different types* (around 4-pages per type) and further sections on Human monitoring and Making the choice.

Condition monitoring is the mechanism for resolving the questions, ³Is it working OK?² and ³What¹s wrong?². The depth to which the Encyclopaedia goes varies from subject to subject.

Those areas that are extensively covered in other books in Coxmoor¹s Machine & System Condition Monitoring Series (see listing to the left), are only briefly described. However, new ideas are given more explanation.

It is easy to get a machine going, but to keep it going over a long life, effectively and efficiently, can only be achieved with the help of condition monitoring. Condition monitoring is the key to reliability.

* Vibration, Noise & Acoustics, Thermography, Level, leakage & Flow, Oil Analysis, Acoustic Emission & Ultrasonics, Corrosion, Load, Wear Debris Analysis, Colour, Position, Power, Temperature, Environment, and Smell & Tasting.
