P&ID diagrams are used by process engineers to show processes, equipment, and their interconnections in a plant. Standardized symbols are used to represent components like valves, vessels, instruments, and more.

P&ID diagrams are used to show the processes happening within a plant, the involved equipment, and their interconnections.

Some common components depicted in P&ID diagrams include lines, piping components, valves, filters, instruments, pumps, compressors, vessels, electrical machines, and heat exchangers.

WHAT IS P&ID?
P&ID is the acronym for “Piping and instrumentation diagram”, i.e. a very detailed diagram showing the processes happening within a plant, the involved equipment, and their
interconnections.

A set of standardized P&ID symbols is used by process engineers to draft such diagrams. P&ID symbols exist for all major components and lines, such as valves, vessels,
instruments, pumps, compressors, and towers. The ISA (https://blog.projectmaterials.com/instrumentation/instrumentation-symbols) S5.1, ISO 10628, and BS 5070 cover the
standardization of P&ID symbols and guide process engineers in their plant design activities.

The most common P&ID symbols are listed below:

• lines

• piping components (pipes, flanges, and fittings)

• valves

• filters

• instruments and instrumentation

• pumps

• compressors

• vessels

• electrical machines (motors, generators, and turbines)

ISA SYMBOLOGY
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 it is placed in a circle of 7/16 “or 12 mm (see below), was in the top there is the functional identification (of the instrument or device) composed with
max 5 letters, and in the bottom there is 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).

Author of “Instrumentation Manual (https://www.amazon.it/Manuale-strumentazione-controllo-processi-industriali/dp/8897323472)” (available in IT):

• Part 1: illustrates the general concepts on industrial instrumentation, the symbology, the terminology and calibration of the measurement instrumentation, the functional and applicative conditions of
the instrumentation in normal applications and with the danger of explosion, as well as the main directives (ATEX , EMC, LVD, MID, and PED);

• Part 2: this part of the book deals with the instrumentation for measuring physical quantities: pressure, level, flow rate, temperature, humidity, viscosity, mass density, force and vibration, and
chemical quantities: pH, redox, conductivity, turbidity, explosiveness, gas chromatography, and spectrography, treating the measurement principles, the reference standard, the practical executions,
and the application advantages and disadvantages for each size;

• Part 3:illustrates the control, regulation, and safety valves and then and simple regulation techniques in feedback and coordinates in feedforward, ratio, cascade, override, split range, gap control,
variable decoupling, and then the Systems of Distributed Control (DCS) for continuous processes, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for discontinuous processes and Communication
Protocols (BUS), and finally the aspects relating to System Safety Systems, from Operational Alarms to Fire & Gas Systems, to systems of ESD stop and finally to the Instrumented Safety Systems
(SIS) with graphic and analytical determinations of the Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) with some practical examples.
