An instrument is a device which is used to access some information or test results of some kind of survey test or research etc.
An equipment is a device which is used for some specific purpose of work. It is used as a device which provide aid to get some targeted purpose of work.
For example Theodolite is an ‘instrument’ which is used for civil engineering surveys, where as Para-suit is an ‘equipment’ which is used specifically for climbing down from higher altitudes like helicopter etc.
