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). No line in the center: for an instrument suitable for field application.The dotted line in the center: for an instrument suitable for technical room mounting.Continue Line in the center: for an instrument suitable for control room mounting.The circle that identifies the instrument or device has: 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 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. electrical machines (motors, generators, and turbines).piping components (pipes, flanges, and fittings).The most common P&ID symbols are listed below: The ISA S5.1, ISO 10628, and BS 5070 cover the standardization of P&ID symbols and guide process engineers in their plant design activities. P&ID symbols exist for all major components and lines, such as valves, vessels, instruments, pumps, compressors, and towers. a very detailed diagram showing the processes happening within a plant, the involved equipment, and their interconnections.Ī set of standardized P&ID symbols is used by process engineers to draft such diagrams. P&ID is the acronym for “Piping and instrumentation diagram”, i.e. A complete collection of the most used P&ID symbols for lines, piping, valves, instruments, pumps, compressors, pressure equipment and other mechanical equipment, and the PDF file for P&ID symbols to download WHAT IS P&ID?
