"this is pan" vs "that is tap"

The two phrases are not directly comparable as they refer to different objects ('pan' and 'tap') and use different demonstratives ('this' and 'that'). 'This is pan' is incorrect because 'pan' is a noun and requires an article like 'a' or 'the' before it. 'That is tap' is correct if 'tap' refers to a faucet or a device for controlling the flow of a liquid.
