Classification of equipment into large, medium, and small sizes
Thread Content
I’ve never understood the criteria used to classify equipment into large, medium, and small sizes. For example, moving equipment is classified by power, while stationary equipment is classified by its length, width, height, or weight. I saw on Baidu that price is also used as a criterion; but are there any clear standards or boundaries that determine how equipment is classified into large, medium, and small sizes, and what exactly are those boundaries? Just like with transfer equipment, at what tonnage should electric hoists and cranes be installed? I hope the experts here can give me some guidance!
Whichever party has the right to set standards shall have its standards followed. For example, if a private enterprise stipulates that valves larger than DN200 are considered equipment, they must be managed in accordance with this standard. For example, the attributes of equipment as specified in the management documents related to equipment issued by the **management department will all be outlined. For reference.
First, clarify the basic concepts: understand what equipment is, what are moving equipment and what are stationary equipment. As for the classification into large, medium, and small sizes, this depends on one’s perspective and the scale of the enterprise; such a classification is meaningless. It is generally better to categorize equipment as critical and important equipment, or as ordinary equipment.
