What is the primary difference between Type III and Type I Low Pressure Equipment?

The primary distinction lies in the intended application and design specifications of Type III equipment. Type III equipment is explicitly designed for low pressure systems, making it suitable for operations that do not exceed certain pressure thresholds. This classification ensures that the equipment adheres to safety and performance standards relevant to low pressure applications.

Type I equipment, conversely, may encompass different specifications and operational capabilities, which may not be exclusively related to low pressure. Understanding this classification assists operators and technicians in selecting the appropriate equipment for their specific pressures and applications, thereby promoting safety and efficiency in their operations.
