Nalco Guide to Boiler Failure Analysis, Second Edition
by: Nalco Company
Abstract: Practical, up-to-date techniques for identifying and eliminating common causes of boiler failure. Filled with more than 200 color images, this guide categorizes distinct failure modes that typify nearly all boiler problems and walks you, step by step, through their solutions. Each type of failure is classified according to its location, general description, critical factors, identification, elimination, cautions, and related problems. Real-world case histories are included throughout.
