This course aims to provide the students the skill to prepare, interpret and read P&ID's. The course starts with a comprehensive introduction to the Piping and Instrumentation Drawing (P&ID) is delivered. As a second step the principles that drive the P&ID development is described with real P&ID examples. The course is replete with examples of real industrial setting P&ID's.

After going through the principles of P&ID, the steps for P&ID development is introduced These steps are easy and simple ones that can be interchangeably applied. Next the legend P&ID is described in detail. With this you can easily read the P&ID. However, to develop a reviewer’s awareness some detailed inputs on valve, Pipes, control systems and equipment templates is provided.

At the end of this course, you will not be an expert but you will know enough to start the journey of reading, understanding, interpreting P&ID’s and begin developing simple P&ID’s.

Always remember a well developed P&ID is NOT a single person’s effort, but is the culmination of efforts of several engineering specialists, vendors, operators. After many different revisions and reviews the P&ID’s are good for Construction.

So, Good Luck and Hope you enjoy the journey!
