    BASIC PIPING: Piping & Instrumentations Diagram: Example of PFD

    P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) is a schematic diagram that shows the piping system process flow connected with instrumentation and equipment. It provides key information for piping material take-off, inter-disciplinary checks, datasheet specifications, and understanding the process flow. A P&ID is important for cost estimation, ensuring connectability between disciplines, equipment specification, and assisting with maintenance or troubleshooting. While not drawn to scale, it serves as a master document outlining the piping system to be built.

    BASIC PIPING: Piping & Instrumentations

    Example of PFD;

    Example of P&ID
    WHAT IS P&ID?

    P&ID is a non-proportional and not-drawn-to-scale schematic illustration that shows


    process flow of a piping system, connected with instrumentations and system equipments.
    This diagram is like a master document for everything we are going to build in piping
    system. It shows almost all of the piping material take-off (MTO) except for the elbows and
    length of pipes. It might be shown very straight short line in P&ID and yet it is a long
    winding piping system in real world.

    Usually P&ID comes with the information of;

    1. Line number; which you could define pipe sizes, system, and materials.
    2. Valves and its identification tag number.
    3. Intrumentations and its identification tag numbers.
    4. Mechanical equipments with its identification tag numbers and nozzles rating.
    5. Fittings (except elbows).
    6. Vents and drains except the one required for hydrotesting.
    7. Flow directions.
    8. Slope for free drainage.
    9. Insulation information.
    10. Scope of work; vendor-contractor interface (if any).

    HOW TO READ?

    I believe anyone would be able to read a P&ID as long as they have a good imagination
    and attention span. Just follow through one line from its starting point (like from wellhead)
    at one page till the end (like flare) that might continued at another page(s). If you able to
    understand the symbols given and understand how the symbol constructed, there should
    be no problem in reading P&ID.
    Symbols and Acronyms
    All the symbols and acronyms have its legend to elaborate more on what the symbols/
    acronyms represent. The more you go through the P&ID, the easier it will get. Below
    image shows the common symbols used in P&ID;

    1. Lines

    2. Equipments
    3. Instrumentations
    4. Valves
    5. Special Items

    6. Acronyms
    7. Line Numbers Identification
    WHY P&ID IS IMPORTANT?
    1. Material Take-Off - MTO is crucial for cost estimation especially during bidding
    stage. We could estimate how many MTO are required for actual system to be built. And
    from there we could also plan for our purchasing time for long lead items like valves, large
    bore pipes or special material items. Elbows and pipe length can be estimated by pre-
    route the piping layout into General Arrangement of Equipment and Plan Layout (that
    shows the whole deck and elevation).
    2. Inter-Disciplinary Check - As piping system will be connected to
    instrumentations and equipments that are manage by other departments, it is important to
    ensure that the connections are connectable; as an example if in the P&ID; the
    equipment's nozzle size is 10", but actual equipment bought built with nozzle size 12";
    piping has to accommodate the new size by providing 12" flange, gasket and necessary
    bolting’s. Hence, from P&ID we could establish a tracking system to ensure all
    connections are synchronized.
    3. Datasheet Specifications - From P&ID, we could extract information required
    to prepare datasheet specification for equipment’s, valves and instruments. Sometimes
    the datasheets are already provided by Clients, so what we could do is to double check
    that all information’s are good and tally to each other.
    4. Process Flow - P&ID has to be maintained and modified as per As-Built. It has to
    show actual system condition. This is very important especially during operations. Any
    maintenance or troubleshooting usually will start by referring to P&ID.
    Try this for Fun!
    Lets try this Lucidchart website that allows you to create your own P&ID online. It
    offers more than that if you buy their license. This is my own P&ID tryout. Save your
    comments to yourself, please 🤣.
    My next article will cover on Isometric Drawings. Hope you guys enjoy reading this and
    most importantly understand the content. Alright, till then!
