Introduction
The understanding of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams is a “must have” skill for Job seekers in several career choices. These include drafting, power plant operation and maintenance, refinery operation and maintenance and workers involved in the construction of industrial facilities.
Pipe-fitters, welders, plumbers, instrument and control technicians, plant operators and draftsmen all need this skill to excel in the workplace.
P&ID’s are used worldwide in the construction and operation of large and small industrial projects. The ability to read and understand them will give those who complete this course an edge over their competitors when seeking employment at one of these facilities.
Many industrial facility Lockout/Tagout systems require knowledge of P&ID interpretation to safely isolate equipment to prevent accident, injury or equipment damage.
Included in the course are access to several sample diagrams and the P&ID keys to interpreting them. Students will be able to practice and become even more proficient with these bonus items.
The course starts by initiating the students in basic blueprint reading. (Which is also used in electrical, hydraulic and mechanical fields of expertise) Then moves on to familiarize the students with simple to complex process flow features, such as instrument loops. Symbols are also discussed thoroughly. These include valves, components, instrumentation, piping, lines, and signals. The final lecture discusses flow paths and follows the flow path of an actual extremely complex working industrial drawing.
This course is taught by an experienced instructor on this subject. He has trained hundreds of plant operators.
Objectives
- By the end of this short course, you will have the skills necessary to read and understand Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID’s).
