| louvre | An artefact which contains fins or vanes intended to control a flow of air. Typically also to separate water droplets from an air stream. |
| marine | A physical object that is related to the sea or sea transport. |
| piping and pipeline equipment | A physical object used in or in connection with a piping system. |
| other mechanical equipment | N equipment class that contains classes that normally are the responsibility of a department for mechanical engineering that are not covered by the mechanical equipment class. |
| sump | Is an artefact intended to collect a heavy phase by making use of gravity. |
| damper | A device that damps, typically a valve or plate (as in the flue of a furnace) for regulating the draft, or a device to stop vibration, typically a shock absorber or snubber. |
| fired heat transfer equipment class | An equipment class that contains heat transfer equipment items with a purpose related to combustion. |

| compressor | A physical object that is driven by a prime mover by which energy is either constantly or periodically added to an amount of gas in order to increase its pressure. |
| driver | A physical object that provides rotational or reciprocating energy to driven equipment. |
| mechanical seal | A seal that comprises of a set of one or more rotating and stationary seal faces, together with auxiliary hardware, separated by a film of fluid intended to reduce flow loss around a rotating shaft to an acceptable level. |
| pump | A physical object that adds or removes mechanical energy to a fluid, either constantly or periodically. |
| conveyor | A physical object for moving articles or bulk material from place to place (as by an endless moving belt or a chain of receptacles). |
| lifting device | A physical object intended to lift or to enable lifting equipment or a part of equipment. |
| tank | A vessel intended to contain fluid for storage. Typically a receiving or collecting function for further distribution. Typically with a vertical and cylindrical or square shape and a flat or conical bottom. |
| vessel | A container intended for storage and/or processing of fluids. |
| vehicle | A physical object that is any conveyance (usually wheel, e.g. a cart, lorry, motorcar, but also a sledge) for goods or passengers on land. |
