WHAT ARE P&ID SYMBOLS?

DEFINITION OF P&ID SYMBOLS

P&ID symbols refer to the standard notations and graphical representations used on Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to depict the components and systems involved in process flows within a facility. These symbols are essential for engineers, operators, and workers to understand the layout, operation, and interconnections of the piping, instruments, equipment, and control systems of a process plant.

P&IDs serve as critical documents in the design, operation, and maintenance of process industries, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, water treatment facilities, and power plants. The symbols on these diagrams represent various elements, including:

  • Piping: Lines that indicate the direction of flow, along with specifications about the pipe size, material, and number.
  • Valves: Devices that control the flow of materials through the piping system, represented by specific symbols for gate valves, globe valves, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, etc.
  • Fittings: Components that connect sections of piping, change the direction of flow, or enable branching, including elbows, tees, reducers, and flanges.
  • Instruments and Sensors: Devices that measure and control process parameters like pressure, temperature, flow rate, and level, indicated by unique symbols that specify their type and function.
  • Process Equipment: Units involved in the process operations, such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks, and reactors, each with its distinctive symbol.
  • Control Loops and Signal Lines: Representations that show how instruments are interconnected and how signals are transmitted between devices for process control.

The use of standardized P&ID symbols allows for a universal understanding of the P&ID diagrams, facilitating communication, design accuracy, safety analysis, and regulatory compliance across the industry. Various standards organizations, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society (ISA), provide guidelines on the representation of P&ID symbols to ensure consistency and clarity.

P&ID DIAGRAM VS. PIPING ISOMETRIC

P&ID diagrams (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) provide a schematic representation of the functional relationship between piping, instrumentation, and system components within a project. They offer a detailed overview of the process flow, including equipment, valves, and instrumentation, crucial for design and operational understanding.

Piping isometrics, on the other hand, are detailed 3D representations of piping systems depicted in 2D, focusing on the physical layout of individual pipes. They show the pipe’s dimensions, material, bends, fittings, and fabrication details, essential for construction and installation.

In short, P&IDs offer a conceptual view of the entire system’s operation, while piping isometrics provide detailed construction and assembly guidance for the piping itself.

PROCESS TO CREATE A P&ID DIAGRAM

To create a P&ID from the beginning, follow these steps: Start with a BFD to outline the main process and flow directions. Then, move to a PFD to detail the process, showing major equipment and flow conditions. Finally, develop the P&ID, incorporating all piping, equipment, instrumentation, and control details necessary for construction and operation. Each step builds upon the previous, adding more detail and specificity.

INSTRUMENTATION P&ID

The symbology for the identification of the measurement and control instrumentation on the flow and process diagrams and on the P&ID (Piping & Instrument Diagram), commonly called P&I (Piping & Instrumentation), is generally compliant with the Standard ISA (Instrumentation Society of Automation) identified as S.5, that is composed of identification codes and graphic symbols.

The symbology of the instrument is placed in a circle of 7/16 “or 12 mm (see below), At the top there is the functional identification (of the instrument or device) composed with max 5 letters, and at the bottom, there is the identification of the loop (measurement and/or control) consists of a progressive number of 3 or 4 numbers, followed by a literal suffix to identifies two or more identical instruments inserted in the same chain and therefore having the same functional identification;

The circle that identifies the instrument or device has:

  • Continue Line in the center: for an instrument suitable for control room mounting
  • The dotted line in the center: for an instrument suitable for technical room mounting
  • No line in the center: for an instrument suitable for field application

If an instrument has a circumscribed square means that it is an integrated instrument as a function in a DCS (Distributed Control System) or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

  1. I appreciate you mentioning the symbology used to denote the measurement and control equipment on the flow and process diagrams. My shop needs work, and I mainly want to replace the glass. To assist me with refurbishment, I’ll look for a glass shop drawing service.

  2. A throwaway email is a temporary email that you can use to sign up for services or make online purchases without having to provide your real email address. This can be useful if you want to avoid spam or protect your privacy.

  3. Installing a Clerestory Roof has to be planned beforehand, to accommodate the directions of sunlight, breeze, etc. This is done to obtain maximum benefits of the Clerestory Roofs. It is an easy-to-install feature that has practical uses for the interior as well as beautifies the exterior.

  4. It’s awesome that this article talked about process engineers create such diagrams using a set of standardized P&ID symbols. I’m glad that you explain it thoroughly and now it makes more sense. You did a great job of explaining the valve manifold box.

  5. Good afternoon employee,

    Is it possible to obtain an accredited symbol book (P&ID) from you? This for a number (approx. 7 pieces) in the Dutch language?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely,

    Thomas de Jong

    1. You are welcome, Sir. Have you seen the platform projectmaterials.com? We offer several services for people engaged in project business:

  6. Professor,
    When showing a local indicating pressure transmitter (PIT) with a signal to the DCS PI – what does the “I” stand for on the DCS symbol. Also,
    does a local PIT go to a DCS PALL or Local PSLL go to DCS PALL

    Thank you

    1. I means indicator showing the process variable measured by the transmitter and this is the same reading send to DCS
