About this course

Description

This course covers interpreting and developing Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). Topics include P&ID definition, applications, equipment and valve symbols, control loops, and specific design considerations. The course also addresses standards for P&ID development, drafting rules, and associated documents like Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Utility Flow Diagrams (UFDs). Estimation techniques using P&IDs for budgeting purposes are also discussed. The course aims to enhance understanding of P&IDs for design, construction, maintenance, and operation of process plants.
