Page 11 - Rotating Machinery Pratical Solutions to Unbalance and Misalignment

mal growth, spool pieces, equipment trains, vertical pump equipment
with driveshafts and the catenary effect of long shafts are presented.
Chapter 9 presents the reverse indicator method of alignment with
both graphical and calculator methods. Again, examples are used to for-
tify the learning experience.
The appendix section has several useful tables and charts to assist
the reader in solutions to other problems. In addition, a complete set of
procedures for fan maintenance is included as guidelines for developing
maintenance procedures for other equipment.
I sincerely hope the readers of this book will find it useful in solv-
ing the everyday problems within their facilities. Your comments, sug-
gestions, and criticism will be highly regarded.
