✦ Synopsis


This is the second instalment of an article that reviews machinery reliability in terms of infant mortality, and provides information and data on developing plans to avoid the premature replacement or repair of equipment. This month we look at determining equipment service-life, industry standards, computer modelling, plant start-up and performance testing. In the first instalment, which appeared in the March 2002 issue of Sealing i'kbnolo~y, we set the scene by providing relevant reliability engineering definition:, and describing the analysis and categories of pump failures.
