Appendix B—Equipment Index Allows the user to determine the taxonomy location for equipment types familiar to the CPI. 

To find generic data in this book for use in a CPQRA, the reader should first locate the taxonomy number for the equipment under study by referring to Appendix B, Equipment Index. This index shows the taxonomy number for various types of commonly used equipment. Knowing the taxonomy number, the reader can consult the Index of Filled Data Cells (Table 5.2) to determine if the data exist in Chapter S. Alternatively, the user... 

This chapter contains tables of generic equipment failure rate data for some of the CPI equipment types listed in Appendix A, the CCPS Taxonomy, or in Appendix B, the Equipment Index. Section 5.1 on data selection explains how data were selected from resources and lists which resources in Chapter 4 were used to provide data. 

As explained in Section 3.3, failure rate data for a piece of equipment or system can be located by the taxonomy number for the equipment. The number can be found by using the CCPS Taxonomy, Appendix A, or the alphabetized hardware list in the Equipment Index, Appendix B. Table 5.2 shows whether the CCPS data base contains failure rate data for that numbered data cell or for an appropriate higher-level cell. Alternatively, the user may look directly for the desired taxonomy cell in the data tables. 

M S Marshall and Swift Equipment Index (also appears in Chemical Engineering)... 

These correlations are based upon 1982 United States figures and must be adjusted for both inflation and currency differences. The M S equipment index asspecified in Ref. CE8 p.7, is used Final exchanger cost = 13 670 (786.0/745.6) (1/0.61)... 

Many different types of cost indexes are published regularly. Some of these can be used for estimating equipment costs others apply specifically to labor, construction, materials, or other specialized fields. The most common of these indexes are the Marshall and Swift all-industry and process-industry equipment indexes, the Engineering News-Record construction index, the Nelsotl-Fatrar refinery construction index, and the Chemical Engineering plant cost index. Table 3 presents a list of values for various types of indexes over the past 15 years. 

Marshall and Stevens Equipment Index (MS). An index with the value for the year 1926 equal to 100 is published quarterly in the Process Equipment Section of Chemical Engineering as the Marshall-Stevens Eng. Neu) Recordj 143(9) 398 Sept. 1, 1949) 157(22) 81 (Dec. 6, 1956),... 

In order to account for inflation in the monetary supply and fluctuations in equipment costs due to technology and commodity prices, an equipment index, such as...
