piping and instrumentation diagram

Piping systems are documented in piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs).

Some fluid system designs, especially in chemical or power plants, are schematically represented in piping and instrumentation diagrams.

Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)

The direction of flow in and around a separator along with other flow instruments are usually illustrated on the Piping and instrumentation diagram, (P&ID).

A piping and instrumentation diagram/drawing (P&ID) is defined by the Institute of Instrumentation and Control as follows:

A piping and instrumentation diagram/drawing (P&ID) is a diagram in the process industry which shows the piping of the process flow together with the installed equipment and instrumentation.

Chemical plant design can be shown in fuller detail in a piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) which shows all piping, tubing, valves, and instrumentation, typically with special symbols.
