Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies The Company is subject to a number of contingencies, including litigation, tax contingencies and environmental matters. Litigation The Company has been and continues to be named as a defendant in a number of multi-defendant, multi-plaintiff tort lawsuits. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a liability of approximately $20 million for such cases. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that the potential exposure from these suits will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Tax and Other Contingencies The Company has legal entities in approximately 50 countries. As a result, the Company is subject to various tax filing requirements in these countries. The Company prepares its tax filings in a manner which it believes is consistent with such filing requirements. However, the tax laws and regulations to which the Company is subject often require interpretation and/or the application of judgment. Although the Company believes the tax liabilities for periods ending on or before the balance sheet date have been adequately provided for in the financial statements, to the extent a taxing authority believes the Company has not prepared its tax filings in accordance with the authority’s interpretation of the tax laws and regulations, the Company could be exposed to additional taxes. The Company has been assessed customs duties and penalties by the government of Brazil following a customs audit for the years 2003-2010 totaling a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $34 million at September 30, 2015, including interest accrued at local country rates. The Company has filed an administrative appeal and believes a majority of this assessment will ultimately be proven to be incorrect because of numerous errors in the assessment, and because the government has not provided appropriate supporting documentation for the assessment. As a result, the Company currently expects no material adverse impact on its results of operations or cash flows as a result of the ultimate resolution of this matter. No amounts have been accrued for this assessment as of September 30, 2015 as no loss is considered probable. Environmental Matters The Company is currently identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for one site designated for cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or similar state law. The Osborne site is a landfill into which a predecessor of the Company’s former Reciprocating Compression operation in Grove City, Pennsylvania deposited waste, where remediation was completed in 2011 and remaining costs relate to ongoing ground water monitoring. The Company is also a party with de minimis exposure at other CERCLA sites. The Company is engaged in site cleanup under the Voluntary Cleanup Plan of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") at a former manufacturing location in Houston, Texas. In 2001, the Company discovered that contaminated underground water had migrated under an adjacent residential area. Pursuant to applicable state regulations, the Company notified the affected homeowners. Concerns over the impact of the underground water contamination and its public disclosure on property values led to a number of claims by homeowners. The Company settled these claims, primarily through the settlement of a class action lawsuit which obligates the Company to reimburse approximately 190 homeowners for any diminution in value of their property due to contamination concerns at the time of the property's sale. Test results of monitoring wells on the southeastern border of the plume indicate that the plume is moving in a new direction, likely as a result of a ground water drainage system completed as part of an interstate highway improvement project. As a result, the Company notified 39 additional homeowners, and may provide notice to additional homeowners, whose property is adjacent to the class area that their property may be affected. The Company continues to monitor the situation to determine whether additional remedial measures would be appropriate. The Company believes, based on its review of the facts and law, that any potential exposure from existing agreements as well as any possible new claims that may be filed with respect to this underground water contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of approximately $7 million for these matters as of September 30, 2015. Additionally, the Company has ceased operations at a number of other sites which had been active for many years and which may have yet undiscovered contamination. The Company does not believe, based upon information currently available, that there are any material environmental liabilities existing at these locations. At September 30, 2015, the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet included a noncurrent liability of approximately $3 million for these environmental matters.
