MFPT Call for Papers & Presentations

The Society for Machinery Failure and Prevention Technology (MFPT) is proud to announce its call for papers and presentations for our annual conference.PMFPT works to educate conference attendees in techniques that play a role in the holistic approach to machinery failure prevention. Papers and Presentations must be free of commercialism. References to commercial products, trade names, and manufacturing companies should be minimized. Be mindful of who your audience is: the end-user.
