For example, based on material and construction, it can be divided into carbon steel equipment, stainless steel equipment, and non-metallic equipment. Based on pressure rating, it can be categorized as high-pressure equipment, medium-pressure equipment, vacuum equipment, and atmospheric-pressure equipment. Currently, a rough classification according to function is as follows:

  (1) Chemical process vessels: including troughs, tanks, and reactors;

  (2) Separation tower equipment: including packed towers, floating-valve towers, bubble-cap towers, and tray towers, among others.

  (3) Reactors: including tubular reactors, fluidized-bed reactors, and stirred-tank reactors, among others.

  (4) Heat exchangers: including shell-and-tube heat exchangers, plate heat exchangers, and coil heat exchangers, among others.

  (5) Heating furnaces: including electric heating furnaces, tubular cracking furnaces, and waste-heat boilers, among others;

  (6) Crystallization equipment: solution crystallizers, melt crystallizers, etc.

  (7) Other various specialized chemical equipment, etc.
