Do pipes count as equipment? Should pipes be listed in the equipment table? Pressure pipelines are considered special equipment
Pipes other than pressure pipes are not considered equipment, and such pipes are not listed in the equipment catalog maintained by the equipment management department. But there must be registration forms for pressure pipelines in the equipment management department.
Pipes are generally not considered equipment, and they are not listed in the equipment table.
You already said it’s a pipe; it’s like asking if chopsticks are a bowl
These days, pipelines are managed as special pressure-bearing equipment. The devices listed in the equipment table are the conventional ones used in the equipment sector; there is another table, the pipeline table, which lists individual pipeline systems
The poster’s question is: Since both chopsticks and bowls are tableware, does it need to be placed in the chopstick holder? @ZhizhenMing
Spoons can be placed in the chopstick holder; these spoons are large enough to serve as both chopsticks and bowls.
Basically, that’s the idea: there is a difference between a broad scope and specific specialties, and these two should not be confused
If the equipment is not a single unit but rather a complex device such as a compression unit, which actually includes many auxiliary devices like inter-stage coolers and buffer tanks, then the pipes, instrumentation, and electrical systems that connect these devices are collectively referred to as components of the unit, or simply as equipment
Pressure pipelines are special types of equipment; they are generally long in length and large in diameter, and are classified as transmission equipment under fixed asset management.
For example, the pipes of the quick-install boiler skid-mounted equipment are also part of the boiler
