Use of Magnets for Lifting Loads Lifting magnet is a kind of equipment which is used as a part of the electrical overhead travelling (EOT) cranes and is used for the transfer the magnetic materials from one place to another place. It is widely used in industry dealing with ferrous materials. An iron and steel …
Read MoreReliability Centered Maintenance and its Role in Maintenance Management Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and variations thereof are used by several organizations world-wide to address a host of reliability issues in order to improve ‘overall equipment effectiveness’ (OEE) while controlling the ‘life-cycle cost’ (LCC) inherent with physical asset management. RCM techniques are applied to any machinery …
Read MoreHot Extrusion Process and its Application for Steel Extrusion is a compressive deformation process in which a block of metal is squeezed through an orifice or die opening in order to get a reduction in diameter and increase in length of the metal block. The resultant product has the desired cross-section. Extrusion involves forming of …
Read MoreSoft Water and Water Softening Processes Water is the most wonderful, abundant, and useful compound in nature. It is used in industry for conducting of several processes. In industrial uses, hard water causes the problem of deposition of insoluble salts which interferes with the process. Hard water creates several problems such as (i) scale and …
Read MorePreventive Maintenance Management Techniques Manufacturing system consisting of facilities and equipments are important resource for an organization. These are constantly being used for adding value to the products produced by the organization. Hence, the facilities and equipments are to be kept healthy and in good operating condition for avoiding excessive downtime and also interruption in …
Read MoreTime Temperature Transformation Diagrams Time has influence on phase transformation. The rate of transformation is dependent on the time and the temperature. Phase diagrams describe equilibrium microstructural development which is achieved at extremely slow cooling or heating conditions. The phase diagrams give no information on the time which is taken to form a phase as …
Read MoreDemineralized Water and Demineralization Process In industrial water treatment, demineralization (DM) process refers to the removal of dissolved salts and mineral ions from water and process streams. Demineralization can prove ideal for facilities needing ultra-pure water for a variety of applications. Demineralization is a type of water purification. While it can refer to any treatment …
Read MorePredictive Maintenance Management Techniques Maintenance cost is a major part of the total operating cost in all manufacturing plants. Depending on the specific industry, maintenance cost can represent between 15 % to 60 % of the cost of the goods produced. The dominant reason for the ineffective maintenance management is the lack of factual data …
Read MorePhase Diagrams A phase in a material is a region which differ in its microstructure and or composition from another region. It is homogeneous in crystal structure and atomic arrangement and has same chemical and physical properties throughout. It has a definite interface and able to be mechanically separated from its surroundings. A component is …
Read MoreMeasuring Instruments Measurement of process parameters is an important aspect for the control of a process. Examples of the process parameters which are to be measured for control are pressure, temperature, flow, mass, length, and level etc. Measurement is the process by which one can convert physical parameters to meaningful numbers. It is the process …
