Special equipment includes the materials used in it, attached safety accessories, safety protection devices and facilities related to safety protection devices.
Special equipment refers to equipment in production, scientific research and other fields that has a high degree of danger and technical complexity due to the nature of the work, medium, pressure, temperature, volume and other factors. These equipment in normal operation can provide great convenience for people's production and life, but if not used properly will cause major safety accidents.
Generally speaking, special equipment is mainly divided into the following categories:
1. Pressure vessels:
Including boilers, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, and tanks. In industrialized production, this type of equipment is usually subject to high pressure, leakage or explosion will lead to serious consequences.
2. lifting machinery:
Including cranes, tower cranes, bridge cranes and elevators. This type of equipment is usually used to carry heavy loads, people and goods transportation, improper use or maintenance can cause accidents.
3. Electrical equipment:
Including power generation equipment, transformers, motors and switchgear. The working principle of this type of equipment is based on the current efficacy, once there is a malfunction or unreasonable design, it may produce a large safety hazard.
4. Boiler pressure piping category:
Boiler pressure piping as the delivery of high temperature, high pressure fluid media equipment, is also a special equipment. In production and life, if improper use or poor maintenance, leakage, burst pipe and other accidents occur from time to time.
There is a wide range of special equipment on the market, due to its high technical requirements and long technical path, and therefore for equipment manufacturers, operators and maintenance and installation service providers have put forward great requirements.
Specialty equipment must be manufactured and operated in accordance with national safety regulations, and need to be inspected, validated and supervised by professionals. For ordinary users, the purchase of special equipment or the use of special equipment should comply with the rules and operation of the guidance of professionals to ensure the normal use of equipment and make it work safely.
In short, special equipment plays an important role in people's production and life, but also brings potential danger. Therefore, before using special equipment, all parties should fully understand its relevant regulations and operate under the guidance of professionals in order to minimize the occurrence of accidents.
