Conceptual difference between devices and apparatuses
Thread Content
Can I understand it this way: a device is a complex piece of equipment. The following is what I found on Baidu: Definition of equipment: It refers to the general term for labor and material resources that can be used by enterprises over the long term in production, and that maintain their original physical form and functions despite repeated use. The equipment includes kitchen equipment, environmental protection equipment, audio-visual equipment, laundry room equipment, dry cleaning shop equipment, medical equipment, mechanical and electrical equipment, washing equipment, ultrasonic cleaning equipment, refrigeration equipment, second-hand equipment for sale, painting equipment, and more. Special equipment refers to boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders), pressure pipelines, elevators, lifting machinery, passenger cable cars, and large-scale amusement facilities that are related to life safety and pose high risks. Definition of a device: An object within machines, instruments, or other equipment that has a relatively complex structure and serves a specific independent function.
A component on a device that performs a specific function can be called a unit; several such devices can also form a production unit
Definition of a device: An object within machines, instruments, or other equipment that has a relatively complex structure and serves a specific independent function. Looking at it again, it seems that the meaning of “ China” is that a device is merely a component of a machine, instrument, or other equipment; initially I thought that a device was a complex machine, instrument, or other equipment. It seems that, compared to devices, a setup can be a part of a device or a set of devices. I saw this: in Appendix 6 of the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\", regarding the starting and ending points of fire separation distances, it states \"process units – the outer edge of the outermost equipment or the outermost axis of buildings and structures\"; therefore I wanted to understand what exactly is meant by a process unit. It seems that the device here is a setup composed of a set of equipment. I still don’t quite understand...
In terms of meaning, a device is subordinate to equipment.
Friendly reminder: This should be posted in the mechanical equipment technology exchange section, right? It’s not appropriate to put it here.
We often use the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\" when conducting safety assessments for related projects; how could it not be suitable?
In my personal opinion, if you want to discuss the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises,\" that’s fine; you’ve come to the right place. But you said we need to clarify the definitions and differences between devices and apparatuses? I think I’d better go to the mechanical equipment discussion area; after all, the experts there are more professional and can offer you greater help.
