Process Flow Diagrams 

Ø Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs).

• The interconnections of process vessels, pipes and flow paths of process fluids or gases is termed as Process Flow Diagrams

Ø Typical PFD diagram:

•Shows the major interconnections of process vessels and equipment

•omits details such as instrument signal

   lines and auxiliary instruments.

Process & Instrument Diagrams

ØProcess and Instrument diagrams (P&IDs)

• A P&ID shows the layout of all relevant process  vessels,  pipes, and machinery

• Instruments are superimposed on the

   diagram showing

üMeasured parameters

üControlled parameter

Ø A typical P&ID diagram shows

              The whole evaporator process to the compressor  as a unit, with details

  of the instruments

• FIC- Flow Indicating Controller

• FT- Flow Transmitter

• PDT- Pressure Differential Transmitter

• FV- Flow Valve

• M- Motor-driven axial compressor

• TT- Temperature Transmitter

• TIR- Temperature Indicating Recorder.

ØLoop diagrams

•Is the interconnections of individual instruments, including:

üall the wire numbers

üterminal numbers

ücable types

üinstrument calibration ranges.
