Mechanical Engineering Newsletter for Students.

The above picture is of one of the many weekly Mechanical Engineering Newsletters for students and plant operators. At the bottom of this page are links to more of the weekly Mechanical Engineering Newsletters PDFs. These educational newsletters, as you can see above, are similar to the content you get from the industrial engineering magazine PDFs, but without advertisements—just the real-world knowledge and application information by a world-renowned Mechanical engineer.

In this particular newsletter issue, the topics "Tracking large rotating equipment" and "Chemical corrosion control" are covered. As mechanical engineers need to learn things not so mechanical, like 'How ultrasonic level detectors work', so does maintenance. In fact, Mike wrote this newsletter series in simple, understandable language so that equipment operators could learn more about the equipment they are operating. The newsletters also provide valuable asset management advice. So this newsletter is great to share with all your maintenance and engineering personnel.

Every mechanical engineering weekly newsletter has regular sections on "Process Control Talk", "From the Mechanical Workshop ", and the "Asset Management" sections.

You should read this week's newsletter if you have not heard of the cone mounted sensor idea. Suppose you want to know what to do if the equipment manufacturer or installer did not provide the data. If you want to know what process conditions to consider when using corrosion tables, the tables themselves do not provide this information. For example, if you want to learn how to minimize the extent of shaft sealing leakage from a packed gland.

This week's newsletter ends with the article "Some Quality Paradigms are Expensive" for the Asset Management section. Gain additional insight to get costs down, to get production up, and how you are going to hit the key performance indicators. Remember the importance of quality equipment, quality systems, quality training, and your quality mindset!
