The Quality Calibration Handbook – Developing and Managing a Calibration Program Jay L. Boucher Quality calibration systems are the foundation for improving research and development, production, and quality assurance arenas through accurate, reliable, and traceable calibrations. This book is about how to design, implement, maintain, and continuously improve a quality calibration system, with all the required documentation, traceability, and known uncertainty for each and every type of test equipment owned and used by any company. Calibration requirements vary across specific industries, but every organization, large or small, can use the systems described in this book as a foundation for a personalized program.

Reliability Centered Maintenance Neil B. Bloom This book introduces innovative approaches to simplify the RCM process such as single vs. multiple failure analysis, hidden failures analysis, potentially critical components analysis, run-to-failure and the difference between redundant, standby, and backup functions. Included are real-life examples of flawed preventive maintenance programs and how they led to disasters that could have easily been avoided. Also illustrated in detail, with real-life examples, is the step-by-step process for developing, implementing, and maintaining a premier classical RCM program. Senior and middle management, supervisors, and craftsmen/technicians responsible for plant safety and reliability will find this book to be invaluable as a means for establishing a first class preventive maintenance program.

Tuning of Industrial Control Systems, 2nd Edition A.B. Corripio Suitable for beginners, this book takes a practical but, systematic approach to tuning. The second edition includes numerous examples of tuning, including the effect of hysteresis in flow control loops, averaging and tight level control, cascade control of a jacketed chemical reactor, feedforward control of a heater, and loop interaction and ration control in a blender. Also included is an introduction to a model reference control and a chemical reactor control example to illustrate it.
