P & I Diagram :Introduction





A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram - P&ID, is a schematic illustration of functional relationship of piping, instrumentation and system equipment components.
P&ID shows all of piping including the physical sequence of branches, reducers, valves, equipment, instrumentation and control interlocks.
The P&ID are used to operate the process system.
A P&ID should include:
  •     Instrumentation and designations
  •     Mechanical equipment with names and numbers
  •     All valves and their identifications
  •     Process piping, sizes and identification
  •     Miscellaneous - vents, drains, special fittings, sampling lines, reducers, increasers and swagers
  •     Permanent start-up and flush lines
  •     Flow directions
  •     Interconnections references
  •     Control inputs and outputs, interlocks
  •     Interfaces for class changes
  •     Seismic category
  •     Quality level
  •     Annunciation inputs
  •     Computer control system input
  •     Vendor and contractor interfaces
  •     Identification of components and subsystems delivered by others
  •     Intended physical sequence of the equipment
This figure depict a very small and simplified P&ID:

A P&ID should not include:
  •     Instrument root valves
  •     control relays
  •     manual switches
  •     equipment rating or capacity
  •     primary instrument tubing and valves
  •     pressure temperature and flow data
  •     elbow, tees and similar standard fittings
  •     extensive explanatory notes

About This Blog

Hai friends…welcome to my blog. This blog is exclusively for instrumentation engineering students which will provide sources for their reference and studies. As you all know Instrumentation is now a fast emerging and developing field in Engineering. This blog has different categories like PLC, SCADA, DCS, Sensors and Transducers, Computer control of process, Industrial Instrumentation, etc.

This blog will also provide an exclusive ‘ASK ME’ section where you can make any queries and share your ideas about instrumentation. The solution for your queries will be given to you by mail from best of my knowledge and reference.

So I wish this blog may be very useful for your studies and reference.
