Who usually provides the gauge model and brand for a new project?

The performance-to-price ratio of various instruments, especially those from foreign and domestic manufacturers as well as from different producers, varies greatly. Are they usually provided by design institutes, or do the users choose them themselves?
The design institute will recommend products on the drawings; some of these may be suitable for use, while others may not match the actual conditions and requirements of your application. Users can choose the products they prefer. (This is my personal opinion; I don’t know if it’s the same elsewhere.)
Design institutes can generally only make recommendations, but not make decisions; haha. Usually, owners opt for bidding processes to select suppliers. In the case of EPC projects, the design team has more influence
Depending on the circumstances, the design institute can recommend suitable manufacturers during the design process, but this recommendation still needs to be approved by the client. Select a few companies and then proceed with procurement through bidding. There are also some projects that are managed in their entirety by design institutes, which decide entirely on which manufacturers to use, handling design and procurement as a one-stop service!
If you’re not sure about your choice, use the recommendation from the design institute – this way you won’t have to take any responsibility. If you’re confident enough, choose on your own
I did a search; EPC is an abbreviation in English for Engineer, Procure, Construct. Its Chinese meaning refers to being responsible for the “design, procurement, and construction” of a project, which is similar to the concept of general project contracting as it is commonly understood.
I think this is related to the nature of your company and the type of project you are working on. If you are a large enterprise with plenty of funds, or if it’s a large-scale project with complex production processes and many risk factors, I recommend adopting the designs and models provided by design firms – this way, everything will be covered! If you run a small business and want to save on investments, or if the requirements for the project are not high and you have the necessary skills, it is recommended that you choose the solution yourself – this will bring many benefits to you as well! Hehe! Go and experience it for yourself
Here, we mostly use those recommended by the design institute; if we choose on our own, it’s usually only for the less important parts, haha
This friend is right; there are various possibilities
It is beneficial for companies to search the internet for qualified manufacturers based on the equipment types recommended by design institutes, in order to make a comprehensive comparison; competition can also help reduce costs effectively!
For new projects, the model and brand of the instruments are generally provided by the designer, but this is not mandatory; ultimately, it is the owner who decides which model and brand to use. However, these must meet the design requirements specified by the designer, otherwise the designer will not be held responsible.
You ask the design institute to provide it, and they will do so, but with some commercial options; it’s better if your own manufacturer decides on it
The design institute recommends manufacturers, and the owner selects several of them through bidding; our company makes the purchases through the group company’s materials and equipment department.
For all new projects here, the design institute is responsible for recommending suitable instruments; within the range of products listed in the network directory and among the approved enterprises, manufacturers and suppliers are determined through bidding. A relatively mature set of operating procedures.
Ordinary users select the tender themselves, with the design institute providing references
This depends on the technical skills of the instrument technicians employed by the user. In projects carried out at existing factories, where the instrument technicians are highly skilled, the role of the design institute becomes less significant during the bidding process. On the other hand, in projects for new factories where the instrument technicians are not as skilled, the brands recommended by the design institute have a greater advantage
Typically, before launching a new project, owners spend considerable time conducting investigations, including examining the principles behind the selection of equipment and instruments; they also take into account the proposals put forward by design firms, before finally determining the scope of the equipment to be used
Brands are usually recommended by design institutes, but the final decision rests with the user. This requires the user’s engineers to have a fairly in-depth understanding of the manufacturers of various instruments, and a great deal of work needs to be done.
The design institute provides technical specifications and performance criteria, and it may also recommend manufacturers of instruments; however, the nature of the project and its specific characteristics play a role in this decision. In the end, it is the entity responsible for constructing the installation that has the final say when making purchases.
Determined jointly by the user and the design institute.
The situation is indeed quite complex, and various things can happen under different circumstances.
