What is P&ID?
A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) represents a process system that includes the piping, vessels, control valves, instrumentation, and other process components and equipment in the system.
P&ID is widely used in engineering to show the interconnection of process equipment and instrumentation to control the design system.
What is P&ID used for?
- P&ID provides the details about the necessary arrangement of piping and instrumentation and – as such – it can serve for managing, maintenance, and modification works.
- P&ID used to develop guidelines and standards for facility operation
- P&ID is an essential tool to explain the processes workflows to engineers
- P&ID helps to find a primary problem cause if workflow is damaged and estimate the cost of its removal
