Get A Head Start With P&ID Training

Course overview

This training is designed to give participants the skills they need to fully comprehend how the plant operates, which will considerably improve their capacity to maintain and improve plant performance. The course will teach participants how to identify issues and make recommendations for fixes on a plant they have never seen using the documentation given.

This workshop shows why it is crucial to continue looking at the plant thoroughly in order to solve the problem because too often, plant improvements that are implemented only address the symptom rather than the underlying cause.

Participants will learn how to build a solution specifically for their particular facility and create documentation utilizing basic standards and specifications. This course will raise awareness of the fact that a technical person’s drawing office and plant documentation are actually their greatest resources, not their tools.

At best, as-built plant documentation is 90% accurate at the time of delivery and handover, but after that, accuracy rapidly declines to 50% to 75% in two years, after which it continues to erode more gradually.

These challenges will be covered in this course, along with advice on how to deal with them. Process, Electrical, and Instrumentation are some of the topics and disciplines covered in this course, and there are many of practical sessions that allow you to use what you’ve learned to strengthen the concepts.

The participants in this training program from Training Bee are given an introduction to the drawings, specifications, and other documentation that instrument fitters and technicians frequently utilize.

The symbols used to represent components and instrument locations as well as the specific symbols used to denote lines on drawings are all covered. Included is a description of how tag numbers are used to identify instruments.

Introduction

Pre-course Assessment

Before you enroll in this course all we wanted to know is your exact mindset and your way of thinking.
For that, we have designed this questionnaire attached below.

• Give an explanation of what a Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is and its use in engineering and process industries.
• Specify and explain the important elements that are frequently present in a P&ID, such as the pipework, instruments, valves, machinery, and control loops.
• Why are standardized symbols and conventions used in P&ID drawings important? Give instances of typical symbols and explain what they mean.
• Describe the variations between P&IDs and process flow diagrams (PFDs). How do these two different sorts of diagrams work in tandem throughout the process design phase?
• What do the bubble numbers and instrument tags on a P&ID mean? In what ways do these identifiers help us comprehend the process and its control mechanisms?
• Talk about how P&IDs are used to communicate information about process variables like flow rates, temperatures, and pressures.
