This guide serves as a workbook to be used in conjunction with an approved course offered by a training partner recognized by the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) for a Machinery Lubrication Technician (MLT I or II) certification exam preparation course. The essence of this work is a guided, cooperative, and sometimes even argumentative dialogue between the authors, with continuous asking and answering of questions. This stimulates critical thinking, which in turn draws out underlying presumptions, and results in readers thinking like the person who actually built the exam. The authors are strong proponents of a unique 5-step process for learning:1. Familiarize2. Find Socrates3. Be the Exam4. Practice Exam5. ExploreThis unconventional method has proven to be exceptionally effective, not for only passing the exam, but to truly retaining the knowledge and becoming an expert in the content you’re studying. Certification requirements are discussed throughout the work, making this the ideal resource for prospective MLT I and/or MLT II certification candidates.Unique Structured learningNotes Outline: For the reader to complete. Aids in organizing ideas and thoughts.Guided Cooperative Argument: A dialogue between authors concerning the topics. Helps answer questions that are asked on the job.Statements of Truth and Exam Development: From the recommended Body of Knowledge, with space to develop your multiple-choice questions. Develops critical thinking process and understanding of how the exam questions are structured.Body of Knowledge Outline: Works as a reference to help answer any questions that may arise.Practice Exam: A mock exam designed to familiarize the reader with taking a multiple-choice test that is similar in structure and content to the real one.Glossary & Appendices: List of common terms, charts, and tables with which all certification candidates need to be familiar.

This is the most comprehensive dictionary of maintenance and reliability terms ever compiled, covering the process, manufacturing, and other related industries, every major area of engineering used in industry, and more. The over 15,000 entries are all alphabetically arranged and include special features to encourage usage and understanding.

This revised, expanded edition of an instant classic explores the history, techniques, and materials used in the practice of induced hydraulic fracturing, while examining the environmental and economic impact. Since the first edition of Fracking was published, hydraulic fracturing has continued to be hotly debated. Credited with bringing the US and other countries closer to "energy independence," and blamed for tainted drinking water and earthquakes, hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") continues to be one of the hottest topics and fiercely debated issues in the energy industry and in politics. Covering all of the latest advances in fracking since the first edition was published, this expanded and updated revision still contains all of the valuable original content for the engineer or layperson to understand the technology and its ramifications. Useful not only as a tool for the practicing engineer to solve day-to-day problems that come with working in hydraulic fracturing, it is also a wealth of information covering the possible downsides of what many consider to be a very valuable practice. Many others consider it dangerous, and it is important to see both sides of the argument, from an apolitical, logical standpoint. While induced hydraulic fracturing utilizes many different engineering disciplines, this book explains these concepts in an easy to understand format. The primary use of this book shall be to increase the awareness of a new and emerging technology and what the various ramifications can be. The reader shall be exposed to many engineering concepts and terms. All of these ideas and practices shall be explained within the body. A science or engineering background is not required. This groundbreaking new volume: Covers all of the latest advances and innovations in hydraulic fracturing since the publication of the first edition Presents both sides of a very controversial subject in today's media, induced hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking" Covers the technology and methods used in hydraulic fracturing in easy-to-understand language, for the engineer and layperson alike Presents the environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing
