ABSTRACT

Practical Lubrication for Industrial Facilities – Fourth Edition, is a blueprint manual for any person, department, or corporation wanting to acquire practical working knowledge in the field of industrial lubrication study and application. For this all-new fourth edition, the book has been extensively rewritten and updated for improved clarity and understanding. The addition of color tables, diagrams, and photographs serves to provide an improved text that is comprehensive, meaningful, practical, and easier to read.

With the advent of the ISO 55001 asset management standard, the ICML 55® world lubrication standard, and the rapidly rising interest and professional industrial lubrication certification of engineers and maintenance/lubrication practitioners working in the field of mechanized equipment assets, this book provides a one-stop reference manual for individuals, departments and corporations who wish to study/understand practical lubrication theory and its real-world application within the industry.

Furthermore, the book is designed to deliver the basic building blocks required to implement a practical and meaningful lubrication management program that meets and exceeds the requirements set out in the aforementioned ISO 55001 and ICML 55 standards, designed to truly define "World Class."
