# PEI Equipment - Overview

**This online manual explains the Equipment in IMS:**

- How to interpret and use the Equipment Main Screen (Grid List).
- How to interpret and use the Equipment Details Page.
- How to create a new Equipment.
- How Tank Equipment works.

In [PEI Hierarchy - Overview](/v414/docs/pei-hierarchy-overview) you can see a visual depiction of this Hierarchy. Have a look to see where Equipment fits in!

The FLOC typically have specific operating parameters: flow rates, temperatures, pressures, fluid composition. Generally, each FLOC has one child, which is a piece of Equipment (with an Equipment ID). Some FLOCs cover more than one Equipment group, e.g. For Exchangers-FLOCs two separate pieces of Equipment can be assigned: a Bundle and an Exchanger. The Equipment in turn might contain Circuits and/or Components. Some data will or can be inherited from a higher level (e.g., [Inspection Reason](/docs/inspection-schedules-settings#inspection-reason) is inherited from the FLOC down to Equipment and Circuits).

Equipment is registered in the **Equipment** Main Screen (see [Creating new PEI Equipment](/v414/docs/creating-new-equipment)).

The **Equipment** Main screen shows an overview grid, with a list of Equipment (see [PEI Equipment - Main Screen](/v414/docs/equipment-main-screen)). The Equipment Details Page is where the Equipment is defined. From here Components, etc. can be added to the Equipment (see [PEI Equipment - Details Page](/v414/docs/pei-equipment-details-page)).

Tank Equipment works a bit different to other PEI Equipment. For more information see [Tank Equipment](/v414/docs/tank-equipment).
