Pump Operation and Maintenance
310 pages including index and a multitude of black and white illustrations. Pump operating and maintenance procedures differ little from one industry to another. So procedures useful in one industry are, generally, equally applicable to the same types of pumps used in another industry. This book is based on this premise and gives specific operating and maintenance instructions for pumps in every industry known to man. Covers every major class and type of pump. Instructions given are exact, enabling an engineer or foreman to supervise the job, and a mechanic to actually perform the work. Using the methods given here, it is possible for anyone responsible for pump operation and maintenance to set up a complete program covering the pumping facilities in any plant - from the largest having thousands of pumps to isolated stations having a single pump. Prior owner's name upon front endpaper, else unmarked. Average wear. Binding solid. Book
