The difference between equipment and instruments

One, the definition of different

1, equipment refers to the measurement instruments, measurement standards, standards, auxiliary equipment, as well as the measurement of the information necessary for the general term.

2, instrumentation, also known as measuring instruments, individually or together with auxiliary equipment used to carry out measurements.

Second, different characteristics

1, equipment characteristics: not only hardware and software, but also includes the information necessary to carry out the measurement.

2, instrument characteristics:

1) for the measurement, the purpose is to obtain the magnitude of the measured object.

2) has a variety of forms, it can be used alone or together with auxiliary equipment.

3) itself an instrument or technical device, a physical object.

Three, different classifications

1, equipment

according to the precision of spare parts and manufacturing complexity

Key parts: refers to the high precision, manufacturing difficulty, play a key role in the equipment parts.

General parts: refers to other mechanical spare parts in addition to the key parts.

2, instrument

Instrumentation is a variety of science and technology products, a variety of varieties, widely used, and constantly updated, there are a variety of classification methods. According to the purpose of use and use to points.

The main gauge gauge, automotive instrumentation, ionizing radiation instrumentation, tractor instrumentation, marine instrumentation, aeronautical instrumentation, navigation instruments, driving instruments, radio test instruments, building materials test instruments, seismic test instruments, geodetic surveying and mapping instruments, hydrological instrumentation, timing instrumentation, agricultural test instruments, commercial test instruments, teaching instruments, medical instruments, environmental protection instruments and so on.

The instrumentation belonging to the mechanical industry products are industrial automation instruments, electrical instruments, optical instruments, analytical instruments, laboratory instruments and devices, material testing machines, meteorological and marine instruments, film machinery, photographic machinery, photocopying and microcopying machinery, instrumentation components, instrumentation materials, instrumentation technology equipment and other 13 categories.

They are more versatile, larger batch, or the necessary foundation for the instrumentation industry.
