Question: Is a atmospheric pressure furnace a special type of equipment?
No. Special equipment refers to boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders, the same below), pressure pipelines, elevators, lifting machinery, passenger cableways, large-scale amusement facilities, and special motor vehicles used within premises that are related to life safety and involve a high degree of risk. Among them, boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders), and pressure pipelines are special equipment under pressure; elevators, lifting machinery, passenger cableways, and large-scale amusement facilities are special mechanical and electrical equipment.
No, the operating pressure must be greater than or equal to 0.1 MPa
No. It is not on the list of special equipment maintained by the Special Inspection Bureau. In chemical plants, generally speaking, except for boilers, industrial furnaces are not considered special equipment.
Scope of special equipment: 1. Pressurized steam boilers with a volume V ≥ 30 L. 2. Pressure-rated hot water boilers with an outlet pressure of P≥0.1 MPa (gauge pressure) and a rated power of W≥0.1 MW; atmospheric-pressure boilers have an outlet pressure below 0.1 MPa, and therefore do not fall under the category of special equipment
