Types of maintenance
Preventive maintenance (PM)
Its mission is to maintain a level of certain service on equipment, programming
the interventions of their vulnerabilities in the most opportune time. It is used
to be a systematic character, that is, the equipment is inspected even if it has
not given any symptoms of having a problem..

Corrective maintenance (CM)

The set of tasks is destined to correct the defects to be found in the
different equipment and that are communicated to the maintenance
department by users of the same equipment..

Breakdown maintenance (BDM)

Breakdown maintenance is maintenance performed on a piece of equipment
that has broken down, faulted, or otherwise cannot be operated. The goal of
breakdown maintenance is to fix something that has malfunctioned.

Quality maintenance
Quality Maintenance is the sixth pillar of TPM and aims to assure zero defect
conditions. It does this by understanding and controlling the process
interactions between manpower, material, machines and methods that could
enable defects to occur..
 Instrument Percent of Span Error

An important part of performing instrument calibration is determining the extent of an

instrument’s error. Error is usually measured in percent of span.
 Question 1

Calculate the percent of span error for Pressure gauge as per the below details.
LRV = 0 PSI
URV = 100 PSI
Test pressure = 65 PSI
Instrument indication = 67 PSI
 Question 2

Calculate the percent of span error for weigh scale as per the below details.
LRV = 0 pounds
URV = 40,000 pounds
Test weight = 10,000 pounds
Instrument indication = 9,995 pounds
 Question 3

Calculate the percent of span error for thermometer as per the below details.
LRV = -40 o F
URV = 250 o F
Test temperature = 70 o F
Instrument indication = 68 o F
 Question 4

Calculate the percent of span error for Ph analyzer as per the below details.
LRV = 4 pH
URV = 10 pH
Test buffer solution = 7.04 pH
Instrument indication = 7.13 pH
 Answer 1

Error = +2 % of span
 Answer 2

Error = -0.0125 % of span

 Answer 3

Error = -0.69 % of span

 Answer 4

Error = +1.5 % of span
