Root Cause Failure Analysis Provides the knowledge and failure
analysis skills necessary for preventing and investigating process
equipment failures Process equipment and piping systems are
essential for plant availability and performance. Regularly exposed
to hazardous service conditions and damage mechanisms, these
critical plant assets can result in major failures if not
effectively monitored and assessed--potentially causing serious
injuries and significant business losses. When used proactively,
Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) helps reliability engineers
inspect the process equipment and piping system before any abnormal
conditions occur. RCFA is equally important after a failure
happens: it determines the impact of a failure, helps control the
resultant damage, and identifies the steps for preventing future
problems. Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant
Reliability offers readers clear understanding of degradation
mechanisms of process equipment and the concepts needed to perform
industrial RCFA investigations. This comprehensive resource
describes the methodology of RCFA and provides multiple techniques
and industry practices for identifying, predicting, and evaluating
equipment failures. Divided into two parts, the text first
introduces Root Cause Analysis, explains the failure analysis
process, and discusses the management of both human and latent
error. The second part focuses on failure analysis of various
components such as bolted joints, mechanical seals, steam traps,
gearboxes, bearings, couplings, pumps, and compressors. This
authoritative volume: Illustrates how failures are associated with
part integrity, a complete system, or the execution of an
engineering process Describes how proper design, operation, and
maintenance of the equipment help to enhance their reliability
Covers analysis techniques and industry practices including 5-Why
RCFA, fault tree analysis, Pareto charts, and Ishikawa diagrams
Features a detailed case study of process plant machinery and a
chapter on proactive measures for avoiding failures Bridging the
gap between engineering education and practical application, Root
Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability is an
important reference and guide for industrial professionals,
including process plant engineers, planning managers, operation and
maintenance engineers, process designers, chemical engineers, and
instrument engineers. It is also a valuable text for researchers,
instructors, and students in relevant areas of engineering and
science.
