Description
When unclear communication occurs in industry, the problems that result can be expensive, such as costly downtime and equipment failure. Here's where the all new, fully revised and updated Holloway and Holloway's Dictionary of Industrial Terminology can eliminate much of this frustration and cost. Now, you, your staff, vendors, contract employees, and consultants can quickly refer to this glossary's more than 20,000 terms and definitions. This helpful dictionary provides a common ground for effective communication. It is an essential reference for all reliability professionals, process engineers, plant operators, and repair and maintenance personnel, and many other positions across many industries. It is ideal for engineers, managers, salespeople, technicians, students, and technical writers, politicians, and lawyers. This volume is packed with practical information.
The alphabetically arranged entries range from a few words to a page or more. It is an essential reference for all reliability professionals, process engineers, plant operators, corrosion and lubrication personnel, and repair and maintenance personnel. The over 20,000 entries are alphabetically arranged from A to Z and have special features to encourage usage and understanding. The terms “process,” “control,” “reliability,” and “machinery” are used broadly here, but many other categories are covered as well, such as corrosion, asset management, lubrication, quality control, process and occupational safety, just to name a few. They are supplemented by hundreds of figures (approximately 200) and tables (more than 100) that clearly demonstrate the principles & concepts behind important process control, instrumentation, reliability, machinery, asset management, lubrication, corrosion, and so forth.
It also contains an appendix covering all journals and magazines, all societies and associations, all conferences available in these areas. It also has an appendix which covers undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in chemical engineering, reliability, and process control around the globe. All these provide the readers an opportunity to follow up with associations, journals, and conferences of their choice, as well as various courses to pursue. Although the information in this book is already in commonly held dictionaries, encyclopedias, and websites, the convenience of having it in one volume makes this breakthrough new revised volume a must-have for anyone’s library.
