PIPING AND PI&D DRAWINGS*
Basic Blueprint Reading
ObjectivesDefine Piping DrawingsIdentify Piping SymbolsDefine Process and Instrumentation Drawings (P&ID)Identify P&ID Symbols
Basic Blueprint Reading
Symbols and DrawingsPiping drawings show the size and location of pipes, fittings, and valves.To read and interpret Piping drawings and Piping and Instrument drawings (P&IDs), the student must learn the meaning of the symbols. This presentation discusses some the common symbols that are used to depict system components.
Basic Blueprint Reading
Piping DrawingsThe single line format is most commonly used in Piping and P&ID drawings. The single line format represents all piping, regardless of size, as single line. All system equipment is represented by simple standard symbols.
Basic Blueprint Reading
Pipe CrossingThe crossing of pipes without connections is normally shown without interrupting the line.
When there is a need to show that one pipe must pass behind another, the line representing the pipe farthest may be shown with a break, where the other pipe passes in front of it Far pipeNear pipe

Pictorial DrawingsPictorial or double line drawings present the same type information as a single line, but the equipment is represented as if it had been photographed. This format is rarely used since it requires much more effort to produce than a single line drawing and does not present any more information as to how the system functions.

P&IDsThe piping of a single system may contain more than a single medium. Forexample, although the main process flow line may carry water, the associated auxiliary piping may carry compressed air, inert gas, or hydraulic fluid. Also, a fluid system diagram may also depict instrument signals and electrical wires as well as piping. The following slide shows some commonly used symbols for indicating the medium carried by the piping and for differentiating between piping, instrumentation signals, and electrical wires.

Basic Blueprint Reading
Topographical MapsMaps which describe in detail local features of the earths surface, either natural or man-made, are called topographic maps (or drawings). Data taken from surveys are used to build these drawings. Surveying is the actual measurement of distances, elevations, and directions on the earths surface.
Basic Blueprint Reading
ContoursMost topographical maps are drawn as contours.Contours are lines drawn on a map to show points of equal elevation; that is, all points on a single contour line have the same elevation. A contour interval is the vertical distance between horizontal planes passing through successive contours as illustrated in the following slide..
Basic Blueprint Reading
Example Contours MapControl PointsRelative ElevationsProfileContours
Basic Blueprint Reading
Contours ContinuedContours may be plotted through the use of patterns of distribution of points of recorded elevation. A popular pattern is the checkerboard or grid survey as illustrated in the next slide.Line are established at right angles to each other, dividing the survey into squares of appropriate size and elevations are determined at the corners of the squares

Geology and Mining TermsStrike - The bearing of a horizontal line in a plane, customarily measured from north.Dip - Includes both an angle and a direction between planesStratum or Seam - layer or deposit bounded by parallel bedding planes.Vein - A deposit in a fissure or fault.Fault - A displacement of one segment with respect to another formation. Thickness - perpendicular distance between the two bedding planes of a stratum, seam, or vein.Outcrop - If a sloping stratum continues without faults, it eventually outcrops (becomes exposed) at the earths surface. See following slide for examples

TeesA structural tee is made by slitting a standard I- or H- beam through the center of its web, thus forming two T-shapes from each beam. In dimensioning, the structural tee symbol is preceded by the letters ST. TopEndFrontSymbolsSTorT
Basic Blueprint Reading
MembersThe main parts of a structure are the load-bearing structural members that support and transfer the loads on the structure while remaining in equilibrium with each other. The places where members are connected to other members are called joints. The total load supported by the structural members at a particular instant is equal to the total dead load plus the total live load.
Basic Blueprint Reading
Vertical MembersColumns are high-strength vertical structural members; in buildings they may be called pillars. A pier in building construction may be called a short column. It could rest on a footing or it may be simply set or driven in the ground. In bridge construction a pier is a vertical member that provides intermediate support for the bridge superstructure.The vertical structural members in light-frame construction are called studs. They are supported on horizontal members called sills or sole plates, and are topped by horizontal members called top plates or stud caps. Corner posts are enlarged studs located at the building corners.
Basic Blueprint Reading
Horizontal MembersA horizontal load-bearing structural member that spans a space and is supported at both ends is called a beam. A member that is fixed at one end is called a cantilever. One type of steel member is actually a light truss and is called an open-web steel joist or a bar-steel joist.
Basic Blueprint Reading
TrussesA truss is a framework consisting of two horizontal (or nearly horizontal) members joined together by a number of vertical and/or inclined members to form a series of triangles. Trusses

TolerancesObtaining Absolute accuracy is impossible and therefore variations must be allowed.This allowance is known as tolerance and represents the total amount the dimension may vary. It is stated on a drawing as (plus or minus) a certain amount, either by a fraction or decimal. Limits are the maximum and/or minimum values for a specific dimension.Tolerances may be shown on drawings by several different methods; the following slide shows three examples. The unilateral method is used when variation from the design size is permissible in one direction only. The bilateral method a dimension figure shows the plus or minus variation that is acceptable. In the limit dimensioning method the maximum and minimum measurements are both stated

This is a general list of types of drawings that can be created. The following slides will define the purpose of the drawing type what that type of drawings contains.There are also European sizes, such as A4, which need not be discussed here.Title blocks are typically located in the lower right corner of a drawing.While contents from manufacturer to manufacturer may vary Title Blocks typically contain the following:Drawing Title: identification of what the drawing containsCompany name: the company that created the drawing or manufactured the items drawinDrawing scale: the scale the drawing was drawn in to the real world size of the itemHow many sheets to the drawing there are: some drawings, especially wiring drawings and assembly drawings require many sheets to detail the item drawinWhich sheet this drawing is: what is the sheet you are currently looking at.Designer name or initials: who designed the itemWho drew the drawing, name or initialsWho checked the drawing, name or initialsDate drawing was createdRevision block to list changes to the drawing.
Portions of a typical revision block are:REV: the revision usually listed alphabetically with the first revision starting at ADATE: the date the revision was madeDESCRIPTION: a short description of the change madeBY: the initials of the person making the changeCHKD BY: the initials of the person who checked the changeBill of Material lists usually include the following:ITEM: a numerical list of the items QTY:The quantity of this item number used.MANUF: The manufacturer of the itemDESCRIPTION: a brief description of what the item itPART NUMBER: the part of number of the item, usually the one supplied by the manufacturer of the item.Add some more examples here of typical scaling here.Scaling a drawing varies from Architectural to Engineering preferences. For some examples see the table below:
Because drawings tend to be large and complex, finding a specific point or piece of equipment on a drawing can be quite difficult. This is especially true when one wire or pipe run is continued on a second drawing. To help locate a specific point on a referenced print, most drawings, especially Piping and Instrument Drawings (P&ID) and electrical schematic drawings, have a grid system. The grid can consist of letters, numbers, or both that run horizontally and vertically around the drawing The following slides will detail the purpose each basic line type.This type of dimensioning is more commonly used in architectural drawings. Tight tolerances are difficult to achieve in the fractional inch dimensioning methods.This type of dimensioning is more commonly used in mechanical drawings since it allows more accuracy and tighter tolerances. Most measuring tools, like dial calipers are scaled in decimal.The metric system is similar to the decimal system in accuracy and is used in almost all drawing outside of the United States.Note: as shown in the example drawing this method distorts the image of the box. The next method of viewing, called orthographic projection is used to remove this distortionThe three views normally drawn are: Top, which is sometimes called the plan viewFront, or front elevationRight side, or right elevationSee 5.2Working drawings: have much of the information the architects design drawing contains, but is much more detailed and are used by the builders for erection of a building. The are fully dimensioned and can include specific drawings for utilities, lighting, plumbing.Structural drawings: these drawings will include the framework of a building, the foundations, the supporting columns.Floor Plans: these layouts show the arrangement and location of different pieces of machinery, offices and any other objects. Elevation drawings: are related to floor plans and show the vertical views of a building.Section drawings: sections are cutaway drawings that show details of construction and areas.Flow diagrams: these are used when a pattern of product flow needs to be documented and are intended to show how material may flow through a plant.
Electronic schematics use symbols for each component found in an electrical circuit, no matter how small. The schematics do not show placement or scale, merely function and flow. From this, the actual workings of a piece of electronic equipment can be determined.Terminals or terminations of wiring are shown with a dot at the crossed wiring. A common practice used to illustrate terminal strips through out drawings is to put a square around the termination dot and label that symbol with the terminal strip number followed by the terminal position on the terminal strip.Note how the dashed line is used to indicate how the contacts are mechanically connected together and are operated simultaneously. This is a common practice for switches and occasionally relay contacts.The similarities between the resistor, tapped resistor and rheostat is simple, they are also resistors. Just ones of different construction. Occasionally the rheostat or potentiometer symbols are interchanged since the function the similar.It is a common practice to put terminal circles (as illustrated on the solenoid) at the end of the contact and coil symbols to illustrate termination numbers of the coils to plug in sockets and mounts for the relays.The inductor symbol is used to define the field winding of a motor. It can be drawn in various combinations depending on the DC motor type.There are many types of transformers with variations of secondary and primary windings. The symbol is usually modified to illustrate those differences and the main purpose of the symbol is to illustrate the required connection of wiring and jumpers for the proper function of the transformer. A common practice is to note the ratings of the transfomer.The color of the light is typically noted in the symbols. R for red, W for white, B for blue, G for green and A for amber.Note: if more than one contact is contained in the limit switch assembly then the contacts will be connected by a dashed line symbolically.
This can refer to air flow switches or liquid flow switches.For a multiple position selector switch each position of the switch is illustrated with a dashed line. Where contacts are made in the circuit at dot or an X is used to show when a circuit is connected when the switch is rotated to that position. Normally the off position is illustrated at the center with the contacts drawn in the state of the off position. For switches with more than three positions more dashed lines are add with labels to illustrate the position.For a two position selector switch the state of the contacts are drawn in the off or first position of the switch. When the switch is operated the contacts will change with the open contacts closing and the closed contacts opening.Pushbuttons with multiple contacts, see double circuit, are connected by a dashed line to illustrate the switch is one assembly. If contacts of a switch are on different sheets of a drawing the dashed line will have a cross reference to the sheet and line number the other contact is on.Also can be called mushroom head pushbuttons.Control devices, that are represented in the wiring diagrams, are photocells, limit switches, local lights, solenoids, air pressure switches, etc. These control devices can be identified by the wiring diagram line number or by I/O address and are represented on both "WD" and "EL drawings for a control area. The device will have a suffix as follows; photocells (PE), proximity switch (PRS), limit switches (LS), local lights (LS), solenoids (SOL), air pressure switches (PS), tape switch (FS), etc. When a line number is used, such as 211LS, the 2 indicates that the device is on page two line 11 of the "WD" or wiring diagram and that it is a limit switch. When the I/O address is employed, a leading digit of "I" or ."1 " is used for inputs. For Example; I0056PE or 10056PE indicates a photocell connected to input address 56. A leading digit of "O" or "0" is used for outputs. For Example; O0037ll or 00037lL indicates a local light connected to output address 37. To differentiate between different voltages, controls, etc., a specification of wire color is set as an industry standard. Conductors are usually color-coded as follows:(1) Black--Line, load and control circuits at line voltage, AC or DC.(2) Red--AC control circuits. (3) Blue--DC control circuits. (4) Yellow--Interlock control circuits wired from an external power source. (5) Green (with or without a yellow stripe)--Equipment grounding conductors. (6) White--Grounded circuit conductor.
The labeling of wiring, cables and terminals is also a standard used.Conductors are identified at each termination by marking with a number to corresponding with the diagram on the wireTerminals on terminal blocks shall be plainly and permanently marked to correspond with the identification shown on the electrical diagram(s). If a drawing has multiple sheets the line number will have the sheet number in front of it. For example sheet 1 the first line is 101 and on the second sheet the first line is 201Wire-Reference Numbers Each wire in a control circuit is assigned a reference point (number) on a line diagram to keep track of the different wires that connect the components in the circuit.Each reference point is assigned a reference number.Reference numbers are normally assigned from the top left to the bottom right. Numerical cross-reference systems are required to trace the action of a circuit in complex line diagrams.Common rules help to quickly simplify the operation of complex circuits.NO Contacts Relays, contactors, and magnetic motor starters normally have more than one set of auxiliary contacts. These contacts may appear at several different locations in the line diagram. Numerical cross-reference systems quickly identify the location and type of contacts controlled by a given device. A numerical cross-reference system consists of numbers in parenthesis to the right of the line diagram.NC ContactsIn addition to NO contacts, there are also NC contacts in a circuit.To differentiate between NO and NC, NC contacts are indicated as a number which is underlined Manufacturers of electrical relays, timers, counters, etc., include numbers on the terminal connection points.These terminal numbers are used to identify and separate the different component parts (coil, NC contacts, etc) included on the individual pieces of equipment.Manufacturers terminal numbers are often added to a line diagram after the specific equipment to be used in the control circuit is identified.Panel and door layouts are usually a part of the electrical wiring diagrams to show the location of the devices that are mounted in the panel.
Panel Layout. - The physical position or arrangement of the components on a panel or chassis. In a panel layout the parts (such as relays, fuses, terminals for wiring, wire duct or raceways, etc.) are mounted on a removable back plate within a enclosure.The parts are usually shown in a block form in their general location and in the size or window area the component will take on the plate. All the components must be labeled as they are on the drawings and the terminal numbering should match terminal notes in the schematic.The panel layout is a sheet of the overall electrical diagram.Door Layout. The panel door layout illustrates the location of all the pushbuttons, switches, lights, etc., and labels for those components. BOM - with it a BOM (Bill of Materials) is also drawn which lists all the components, by manufacturers part numbers, that are contained within the electrical drawings and panel assembly, of which the back plate and door is but a part. The table above illustrates a general list of how manufacturers may identify drawing numbers.For example if a drawing number is WD200 we then know it is a wiring diagram and if a drawing is numbers EL100 we know it is an electrical layout which will show the location of the devices in the plant.Where the complexity or the control system warrants. a block diagram of control functions may be furnished. Each block shall be identified and cross-referenced in a manner that the internal circuitry may be found readily on the elementary diagram.
Not all electronics prints are drawn to the level of detail depicting the individual controls and devices, nor is this level of information always necessary. These simpler drawings are called block diagrams. Block diagrams provide a means of representing any type of electronic circuit or system in a simple graphic format. Block diagrams are designed to present flow or functional information about the circuit or system, not detailed component data. Whatever the block represents will be written inside. Sequence of Operation: A written detailed description of the order in which electrical devices and other parts of the equipment should function.Sequence charts can also be tables illustrating the steps and timing of certain operations.Sequence charts or routines are usually added as a sheet in equipment drawings if necessary.The numbering system, for the set of drawings which shows the conveyor path and relative equipment locations with dimensions of all electrical devices external to an electrical control panel, starts with a two letter prefix "EL" for Electrical Layout Following the "EL" is a number that represents the control panel. Following this number is a sheet number. For example; drawing number EL-XXX-2 would be an electrical layout drawing associated with XXX electrical control panel and sheet number 2 in the set. The first few sheets, in a set of "EL drawings, are conveyor path or equipment location layouts. These drawings show the approximate location of externally mounted electrical devices associated to that particular control panel. The next sheet(s) are the electrical equipment schedules. These drawing sheets state the device number, mounting bracket type, means of actuation, function, and manufacture's name/part number for the externally mounted devices. Wiring diagrams are used to show as closely as possible the actual location of each component and wire termination in a circuit.Question: Does this circuit function like the Start Circuit Ladder Diagram previously viewed. Electronic schematics use symbols for each component found in an electrical circuit, no matter how small. The schematics do not show placement or scale, merely function and flow. From this, the actual workings of a piece of electronic equipment can be determined.These shapes and lines in the relative proportions shown, make up a set of basic symbols from which fluid power symbols and circuits are constructed1714101315151616The dotted line represents the feedback, this opposes the spring and can vary the flow through the valve from full flow, through shut off, to exhaust. The symbol is usually drawn in only this one state. The flow path can be imagined to hinge at the right hand end to first shut off the supply then connect to the exhaust.
The dotted line represents feed-forward, this opposes the spring and can be imagined to lift the flow path. When the pressure reaches an excess value the flow path will line up with the ports and flow air to relief.
2727272929Note: see pictorial drawing of this circuit in the following slidesRefer back to the previous single line drawing and compare the single line diagram to the orthographic view.See 1016v1 for symbolsThe piping of a single system may contain more than a single medium. For example, the main process flow line may carry water, the associated auxiliary piping may carry compressed air, inert gas, or hydraulic fluid. Also, a P&ID diagram drawing may illustrate instrument signals and electrical wiring as well as piping. The combination of a valve and an actuator is commonly called a control valve. The first three columns above are combined such that the resulting instrument identifier indicates its sensed parameter, the function of the instrument, and the type of instrument. The fourth column is used only in the case of an instrument modifier and is used to indicate the types of signals being modified. The following is a list of examples:FIC = flow indicating controllerFM = flow modifierPM = pressure modifierTE= temperature elementTR= temperature recorderLIC = level indicating controllerTT= temperature transmitterPT= pressure transmitterFE= flow elementFI= flow indicatorTI= temperature indicatorFC= flow controllerSensors and detectors by themselves are not sufficient to create usable system indications. Each sensor or detector must be coupled with appropriate modifiers and/or transmitters. The exceptions to this are certain types of local instrumentation having mechanical readouts, such as bourdon tube pressure gages and bimetallic thermometers. The slide illustrates various examples of modifiers and transmitters and also illustrates the common notations used to indicate the location of an instrument, for example local or board mounted.Transmitters are used to convert the signal from a sensor or detector to a form that can be sent to a remote point f o r processing, controlling, or monitoring. The output can be electronic (voltage or current), pneumatic, or hydraulic. The slide illustrates symbols for several specific types of transmitters.The unilateral method is used when variation from the design size is permissible in one direction only. In the bilateral method the dimension figure shows the plus or minus variation that is acceptable. In the limit dimensioning method, the maximum and minimum measurements are both stated. A datum is a surface, line, or point from which a geometric position is to be determined or from which a distance is to be measured.Any letter of the alphabet except I, O, and Q may be used as a datum identifying symbol. A feature control symbol is made of geometric symbols and tolerances.
