Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Technologies
RMS are pleased to offer The British Institute of NDT published book, ‘An Introduction to Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Technologies’ edited by Professor A Hope and Mr Dean Whittle. The book contains 300 pages, is an A4 soft cover and has the following ISBN 978 0 903132 76 3.
During the past 30+ years, I have been committed to implementing plant reliability and condition monitoring (CM) improvement programs throughout UK industry; covering industries such as; power, paper, petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, water, automotive, quarries, film/plastic, food, electronics, services and engineering manufacturing.
As a “The British Institute of NDT” council member and active participant on the CM Technical Committee, plus Vibration Analysis, Ultrasonics, and various other Working Groups, it was an honour to be asked to contribute to this important CM book. The new offering contains a wide range of technologies that can be used for condition monitoring and diagnostics of plant machinery, systems and structures through surveillance, monitoring and analysis.
This book is ideal for CM professionals tasked with improving the asset management process, maintenance managers, engineers, undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students, industry researchers and academics. I hope you find the book useful in your CM career, and do feel free to leave your comments and feedback in the comments below.
Description BINDT website:
Covering all aspects of condition monitoring from an introductory level, this new title provides a general introduction to CM and diagnostic technologies, containing eleven chapters on the following topics: implementing condition-based maintenance; vibration analysis; oil analysis; wear debris analysis; acoustic emission; thermal imaging; ultrasound condition monitoring; motor current signature analysis / electrical condition monitoring; optical condition monitoring and laser shearography; prognostics and root cause failure analysis; ISO standards.
The opening chapter covers the challenges involved in setting up a CM programme and this is followed by several chapters that provide an introduction to the most widely used CM techniques and diagnostic technologies. A further chapter introduces the wide range of international CM standards and, although the book is essentially an introductory text, an additional chapter is included on the important topic of prognostics. The individual chapters are written by experts who are well-known in their particular fields of expertise. The book will provide a useful introduction to the subject for both undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students, researchers, academics, condition monitoring practitioners and management.

A new book from the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), titled: An Introduction to Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Technologies, edited by Professor A Hope and Mr D Whittle, introduces the reader to the wide range of technologies that can be used for the condition monitoring (CM) and diagnostics of structures, plant and machinery through surveillance, monitoring and analysis.
Condition monitoring forms a vital part of the asset management process. It involves the measurement and monitoring of specific parameters that may give an indication of machine health or a fault condition, through an increase or decrease in the measured values or by other changes to characteristic values over a period of time. Techniques collectively referred to as CM have a common objective of knowing and understanding the health and condition of a machine and indicating the early signs of deterioration or malfunction and changing wear trends.
