Is the air compressor a special equipment category

Whether the air compressor belongs to the category of special equipment can be summarized from the following points:

definition of special equipment:

special equipment refers to the equipment involving life safety and high risk, including boilers, pressure vessels (including gas cylinders), pressure pipes, elevators, lifting appliances, passenger ropeways, large amusement facilities and special motor vehicles in the field (factory).

classification of air compressor:

in general, the air compressor itself is not directly classified as special equipment. However, if the working pressure of the air tank and the connected pipeline in the air compressor is greater than or equal to 0.1Mpa, and the volume or pipe diameter is greater than or equal to a certain standard (such as pipe diameter greater than or equal to 25mm), then these parts may be regarded as pressure vessels or pressure pipelines, thus belonging to the category of special equipment.

Regulation and supervision:

the state implements strict supervision of special equipment, and there are clear regulations from production, use to inspection and testing. If some parts of the air compressor meet the definition of special equipment, these parts also need to be managed and inspected in accordance with relevant regulations.

In summary, the air compressor itself is not directly regarded as special equipment, but some of its components (such as gas storage tanks and connected pipes) may be regarded as special equipment under certain conditions and need to be managed and regulated in accordance with relevant regulations. Therefore, under specific circumstances, it is necessary to judge whether the air compressor belongs to the special equipment category according to the actual parameters and the use environment of the air compressor.
