Diagrams: Industrial Process Systems

This course is designed to introduce participants to plant system diagrams and diagram symbols. After completing this course, participants should be able to identify and describe the purpose of several kinds of system diagrams, and describe the information found on each type. Participants should also be able to identify symbols commonly used on piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), describe the types of information typically found on a legend, and use a P&ID to locate the components of a system.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Identify and describe the purpose of equipment arrangement diagrams, elevation drawings, piping system (flow) diagrams, P&IDs, electrical diagrams, and legends.
• Describe, in general terms, the information found on each type of diagram.
• Identify some of the basic symbols associated with flow diagrams.
• Identify symbols commonly used to represent components in flow diagrams.
• Briefly describe the basic operation of the components typically found in a fluid system.
• Identify instruments using an identification chart.
• Identify line symbols and instrument symbols used in piping and instrumentation diagrams. Using a System Diagram
• Describe the types of information typically found on a legend.
• Locate the components in a boiler fuel oil system by identifying the symbols used to represent them.
