An ideal
- and affordable - text for engineers and maintenance professional
with an interest in oil analysis. This title does not attempt
to baffle with the technology, but introduces it at an understandable
level, touching on the basic theory and concepts, available
equipment and practical issues relevant to the engineer
as well as highlighting several case studies with which
the reader can relate. Other books in this twelve title
series focus on thermography, wear debris analysis, oi analysis,
vibration, level, leakage and flow, ultrasonics and noise
and acoustic analysis.
