Equipment - are machines or major tools necessary to complete a given task. The tools a mechanic needs to repair a machine are an example while Machine is A system or device for doing work, as an automobile or a jackhammer, together with its power source and auxiliary equipment.
Machines are devices that need a person's attention when operating.
Equipment are devices that do not need this attention.
Examples: a refrigerator is equipment, a steel cutter is machine, a stove is equipment, a computer or a fax are machines; we call it anyway, "fax machine". Your car is machine/you operate it; your house, though, is "equipped with A/C and fan" because you do not pay attention to them when operating. The water heater is equipment. The pressure washer is machine, the air-compressor is equipment.

What is the proper five step USAF return to service sequence for lockout tagout?
1. Check the Area: Check the work area to ensure that all personnel are clear of the machinery and equipment.2. Check the Machine: Check the machinery and equipment to ensure that everything is properly assembled, all nonessential items are removed, and the machinery and equipment is ready for safe operation.3. Verify: Verify that switches and controls on the machinery and equipment are in the OFF position, are properly aligned, or are in the neutral position.4. Notify: Notify the affected worker(s) of the return-to-service procedure. If there is a question about who the affected workers are, the authorized worker shall notify the machinery and equipment owner/operator.5. Return: After the affected persons have been notified,- notify the machinery and equipment owner/operator of intent to re-energize;- obtain authorization to re-energize from the machinery and equipment owner, if required;- remove the lock and tag from the energy-isolating device;- re-energize and test the machinery and equipment or coordinate testing with the machinery and equipment owner/operator to ensure that the machinery and equipment can be operated safely (if independent verification is required, that task would be completed at this point in the process); and- return the machinery and equipment to "ready for duty" status.

Can please tell you 10 difference between tools and equipment?
Equipment are especially MADE for purpose. Equipment can include helmets, kneepads and so forth, and is a more general term... Tools are objects to work WITH. Tools is American word. Equipment is a set of tools. Tools in a non-literal sense are devices to use to do something, for example, "LANGUAGE IS A TOOL TO PROMOTE SPEAKING..." lol Equipment is basically to "equip" somebody. You cannot equip someone with a spanner or a screwdriver. Tools are commonly used for machinery. Tools are generally small, hand held, common items. Equipment are profressional items.

What is a mechanical engineering topic that mechanical engineers often argue about?
VIBRATIONPreventive maintenance and frequency of inspections Uncertainty in measurements.........................................Difference between torque and power...* Most Mechanical Engineers are pressured to complete projects "on-time / on-budgit". This normally means that the equipment installed just meets the requirements of Operations but is not a quality piece of machinery that will last. This now falls into the laps of Maintenance Reliability. Look at all of the "throwaway" equipment now utilized in the US!
