    P&ID FUNDAMENTALS

    ISA Symbols and Loop Diagrams


    Prepared By: Dr. Alexis John M. Rubio
    P&IDs
    Piping and instrumentation diagrams or simply P&IDs are the
    “schematics” used in the field of instrumentation and control
    (automation)
    The P&ID is used to by field techs, engineers, and operators to
    better understand the process and how the instrumentation is inter-
    connected.
    Most industries have standardized the symbols according to the
    ISA standard S5.1 instrumentation symbol specification.
    • Piping & instrumentation drawing (original)
    • Process & instrumentation diagram (also used)
    • process flow diagram – PFD (simplified version of the P&ID)
    P&IDs
    A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is a
    diagram in the process industry which shows the piping of
    the process flow together with the installed equipment
    and instrumentation. The P&ID are also used to operate
    the process system. P&ID shows all of piping including
    the physical sequence of branches, reducers, valves,
    equipment, instrumentation and control interlocks.
    P&IDs
    Based on Institute of Instrumentation and Control, a
    piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) is defined by
    the diagram which shows the interconnection of process
    equipment and the instrumentation used to control the
    process. In the process industry, a standard set of
    symbols is used to prepare drawings of processes. The
    instrument symbols used in these drawings are generally
    based on International Society Automation (ISA)
    Standard S5.1
    P&IDs
    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
    P&IDs
    A P&ID should include:
    • 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
    P&IDs
    A P&ID should not include:
    • Equipment rating or capacities
    • Instrument root valves
    • Control relays
    • Manual switches and indicating lights
    • Primary instrument tubing and valves
    • Pressure temperature and flow data
    • Elbows and similar standard fittings
    • Extensive explanatory notes
    • Process Flow Diagram - PFD
    Temperature Process
    Using pictorial diagrams may be informative however it is
    not practical or CAD friendly especially in a multi-loop
    process.
    Building the P&ID
    The P&ID will use symbols and circles to represent each
    instrument and how they are interconnected in the
    process.
    Tag Numbers
    Tag “numbers” are letters and numbers placed within or
    near the instrument to identify the type and function of the
    device.
    Tag Descriptors
    Tag Numbers
    Tag “numbers” are letters and numbers placed within or
    near the instrument to type and function of the device.
    ISA S5.1 Identification Letters
    Examples
    Instrument Location
    The presence or absence of a line determines the
    location of the physical device. For example no line
    means the instrument is installed in the field near the
    process.
    Instrument Type and Location
    Instrument Bubble
    Piping and Connection Symbols
    These symbols are used to
    identify how the instruments in
    the process connect to each
    other and what type of signal is
    being used. (electrical,
    pneumatic, data, etc)
    Process Lines
    Valve Symbols
    Process Symbols
    P&ID Example
    P&ID Exercise
    P&ID Exercise Answer
    Process Flow Diagram
    A process flow diagram (PFD) shows less detail than a
    P&ID and is used only to understand how the process
    works.
