Are the flanges installed at the inlets and outlets on chemical processing vessels considered equipment flanges or pipeline flanges?

Should I look for device flanges or pipe flanges?
Are there any differences between these two types of flanges?
The flange used for connection is a pipe flange, while the flange on the equipment itself is an equipment flange. Different execution standards: Equipment flanges: NBT47020; Pipe flanges: HGT20592-20635
What is welded to the body are the equipment flanges
The equipment export flange is considered a device flange.
Equipment flanges are generally the flanges used to connect the main components of equipment, such as segmented towers connected by flanges. The connection flanges on the container, which are used to connect to external pipes, are all pipe flanges.
The flanges used for import and export installation are pipe flanges. It is the equipment flange that is used for joining the equipment cylinders together.
It should work in both cases, but more precisely it should be considered a pipe end flange, just like a pipeline flange
Under normal circumstances, the standards for pipe flanges are applied; however, in special cases, equipment flange standards are used for the pipe ends.
I’ve learned it; I was confused like this before as well
Imports and exports are generally connected via pipes, using pipe flanges...
