Does air compressor count as special equipment

Air compressor does not belong to special equipment.

Special equipment refers to boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders, the same below), pressure pipes, elevators, lifting machinery, passenger ropeways, large amusement facilities and special motor vehicles in the field (factory) that involve life safety and high risk. Although the air compressor can generate pressure, it does not belong to the above-mentioned equipment. Therefore, from the perspective of laws and regulations, the air compressor does not belong to special equipment.

However, in the process of using the air compressor, if the working pressure of the gas tank and the connected pipeline is greater than or equal to 0.1MPa, and the volume or pipe diameter is greater than or equal to 25mm, then these parts belong to the category of special equipment and need to be managed and maintained in accordance with the standards of special equipment.

In addition, although the air compressor is not a special equipment, it is still necessary to pay attention to safety issues during use, and conduct regular maintenance and maintenance to ensure its normal operation and safety performance.
