Sinopsis

Take a minute and list all the different types and kinds of rotating equipment you can think of. Even if you have not been involved with rotating equipment for a long time, when you consider the types of equipment that you come in contact with every day, your list will be sizeable. Imagine if we pursued our objectives by looking at each individual piece of equipment. You would never remember all the aspects and the book would be long and very boring. We will not attempt this approach. Rather, this section will divide all types of

rotating equipment into four major classifications. The function of each individual classification will be defined. Throughout this book we will cover many types of rotating equipment.
