Pipeline and Gas Reliability

These articles are written by Fred K Geitner, a highly experienced and well-regarded machinery engineer and author. His career in the Oil and Gas Industry in refining, petrochemicals and transmission pipelines. He has some 8 books that he has co-authored with Heinz P Bloch and numerous columns published in “Pipeline and Gas Technology”. Many of those articles are as relevant today as when first published. With Fred’s permission, we are including them here for the use of our readers.

If you are interested in his books on Equipment Reliability, Process Plant Equipment Maintenance, Compressors and Failure Analysis, then you can find them on Amazon: Fred Geitner’s Books
