ASM Failure Analysis Case Histories: Chemical Processing Equipment documents nearly 60 cases of structural and/or functional failure involving equipment used in chemical and petrochemical processing plants, including reformers and reactors, absorbers, concentrators, heat exchangers, compressors and pumps, process piping, and tanks, vessels, and columns. The cases describe the investigation, identify the primary cause, and include remedial solutions. These case histories have been compiled from a wide variety of ASM International publication types, including ASM Handbook volumes, conference proceedings, technical books, journals, and magazines.
