Would an alternative date be more suitable?
We offer a variety of tailored training options, customized to meet your organisation's needs. Delivered anytime, anywhere, we make it easy to bring expert training directly to your team.
Why Choose this Training Course?
The training course will introduce and lead participants to the presentation and reading of engineering drawings (schematics) and symbols that are related to Process Flow, Piping, Process (piping) and Instrumentation Diagrams P&IDs.
Major emphasis will be placed on Process Plant Equipment, such as valves, valve actuators, pumps, compressors, motors, tanks, control instrumentation and control loops, etc, in addition to mass and energy balance considerations to the flow process.
This training course will:
- Systematically offer information that can be used to recognize standard engineering flow diagrams
- Be used to understand how the major parts of the process interact with each other, be used to plan effective installation, operation and inspection of plants and equipment
- Provide sound knowledge and skills to independently evaluate possible design solutions through an understanding of prints and symbols
- Include relevant exercises to emphasis the fundamental aspects of Process Flow and P&ID
What are the Goals?
The major goals of this program are to develop fundamental understanding of flow and P&ID diagrams and Prints and recognition of a variety of schematic conventions and standard drawing symbols.
Upon completion of this program, attendees will have a practical understanding of Process Flow and P&ID diagrams and would be able to:
- Know about methods of Representation of Views and Projections
- Recognise symbols of proprietary engineering components
- Demonstrate the ability to interpret process (piping) and instrumentation diagrams P&IDs
- Identify schematics by their symbols, such as Fluid-power, Flow, Piping, Components, equipment, etc.
- Identify various types of lines on flow and P&ID Diagrams
