P&ID - Piping and Instrumentation Diagram

A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is a schematic that shows the functional relationships between piping, instrumentation, and process equipment components. It displays all piping, including branches, valves, and instrumentation. P&IDs are used to operate process systems. They include details like equipment names and numbers, piping sizes, instrumentation, valves, flow directions, and interfaces.

P&ID - Piping and Instrumentation Diagram

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 depicts a very small and simplified P&ID:


PFD - Process Flow Diagram
A Process Flow Diagram - PFD - (or System Flow Diagram - SFD) shows relationships
between major components in a system. A PFD also tabulate process design values for
the components in different operating modes, typical minimum, normal and maximum
values. A PFD does not show minor components, the piping systems, piping ratings and
designations.

A Process Flow Diagram - PFD - should include:

• process piping
• major equipment symbols, names and identification numbers
• control, valves and valves that affect operation of the system
• interconnection with other systems
• major bypass and recirculation lines
• system ratings and operational values as minimum, normal and maximum flow,
temperature and pressure
• composition of fluids

A Process Flow Diagram - PFD - should not include:

• pipe classes
• pipe line numbers
• minor bypass lines
• isolation and shutoff valves
• maintenance vents and drains
• relief and safety valves
• code class information
