Free e-book – condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
The Asset Management Council has released the next issue in its series of e-books exploring commonly asked Asset Management Questions.

Determination of the Risk Profile of a Hydrogen Consuming Facility Using Published Failure Rate Data
This paper assesses the potential consequences and associated risk levels for a major explosion following catastrophic failure of an hypothetical hydrogen-containing plant operating at elevated temperature and pressure. The plant is mooted as being located in an industrial area but with residential areas nearby. It considers the importance of fully open-air construction of such plants, of sufficient separation from surrounding communities and of free vertical discharge from pressure relief evices.
Experience with education in maintenance and reliability engineering by off campus learning
Physical plant assets are tending to remain in service for beyond their design lifetime. Arguably, a greater professional input is needed into the maintenance and reliability engineering of these assets, yet few universities offer such content in undergraduate engineering degrees. Accordingly, postgraduate programs have been developed.
A framework to assess data quality for reliability variables
