3.2 Civil
 Civil is responsible for underground piping and sewers. Civil sizes
the underground gravity flow piping and is responsible for their
hydraulic system design. (Underground pressurized piping is sized by
Process.) Drains (open or closed), with their systems properly
labeled, and underground sumps are Civil’s responsibility. Civil works
with Process in designing the sumps. Process prepares the sump
pump Process Data Sheets that include sump dimensions. Area
storm water drains are not shown on aboveground P&IDs.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Civil (Continued)
 Piping Design provides initial hub locations for the open drain piping
to Civil for the starting point of their design. Civil connects the hubs
on an underground drawing taking into account geography and
foundation obstructions. Process will then prepare underground
P&IDs (if required) based on these drawings with assistance from
Piping on layout. The open and closed drain systems will generally
have their own P&ID showing the underground piping.
 Civil is also responsible for the gravity flow storm water and sanitary
sewer systems. Tank dikes and curbing to contain chemical spillage
are generally not shown on P&IDs unless it is required for clarity (e.g.
such as to define above ground piping and valves associated with the
contained area). Tank dikes and curbing are generally handled
separately and shown on plot plan drawings

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.3 Electrical
 The P&IDs reflect many aspects of electrical design. They show
instrumentation-electrical hookups and emergency power
requirements for certain equipment. Frequently there are P&IDs
called "Truth Tables" that indicate actuators and actuated devices.
The P&ID will also show motor driven equipment and electrical
devices (e.g., lube oil reservoir heaters, electrical heat tracing
requirements, and the temperature to be maintained). Electrical
obtains much of this information from the P&IDs, but the P&IDs
seldom fully define the electrical requirements. It is Electrical’s
responsibility to interface with other departments (e.g., Control
Systems and Process) to further define the electrical requirements.
Electrical sometimes has special numbering requirements for motors
(e.g., air cooler motors) and should verify that they are correct on the
P&IDs.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.4 Mechanical
 The P&IDs show data on equipment such as vessels, heat
exchangers, pumps, compressors, and other miscellaneous
equipment. Mechanical initially receives the process data sheets
from Process. From these data sheets, Mechanical produces
specifications containing the mechanical equipment data sheets,
which become the controlling equipment data sheet for the project.
 Mechanical is responsible for:
1. Making sure the equipment data shown on the P&IDs is correct and
complete.
2. Making sure that vendor information is routed to Process.
3. Informing Process of any special piping requirements for the
equipment (e.g., straight runs or special piping sizes).

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Mechanical (Continued)

4. The P&IDs show the insulation requirements for piping and

equipment. It is the responsibility of Mechanical to prepare the
Insulation Thickness Tables that define insulation thickness and
materials.
5. Determining the best type of pumps, compressors, blowers and all
other rotating equipment to meet the process requirements.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.5 Control Systems

 Control Systems is responsible for the complete presentation of the
instrumentation on the P&IDs. It is the responsibility of Process to
interface with Control Systems in a timely manner.
 Control Systems is responsible for:
 Adding required instrumentation, instrument bubbles, completing the
control schemes, instrument numbers, etc.
 Providing the sizes and types of control valves, relief valves, and
meter runs.
 Ensuring conformance to a Client's instrument engineering standards.
 Making sure that the P&IDs reflect any special requirements for
instruments (e.g., maintenance or piping installation requirements).

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.6 Piping Design

 The P&IDs are one of the main documents used by Piping Design.
For some small projects Piping Design may actually draw the P&IDs
instead of CAD. Process shall put special piping requirements on the
P&ID (e.g., "No Pockets" and "Slope" requirements).
 Piping Design is responsible for:
 Reflecting "as built" arrangements, including utility distribution P&IDs.
 Reflecting special design requirements for maintenance (e.g., break-
out spools for compressors, exchanger, etc.).
 Marking the location of utility stations and safety showers on the utility
P&ID, based on the plot plan layout.
 Ensuring that the valves depicted on the P&IDs are available in the
piping material specification.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Piping (Continued)
 Ensuring that special hydrostatic test requirements (e.g., spacers for
inserting thick blinds) are reflected on the P&IDs. High point vents
(HPVs) and low point drains (LPDs) for hydrostatic testing are
generally not shown on the P&IDs. Piping will add HPVs and LPDs
only where they are left on after hydrostatic testing.
 Assisting Civil and Process in preparing underground P&IDs as
required.
 Prepares Demolition P&IDs

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.7 Project Engineer

 Generally it is the responsibility of the project engineer to ensure that
the P&IDs reflect special project requirements (e.g., construction
package limits on drawings). The project engineer will send this type
of information to Process so that it is added to the P&IDs. Project will
set the distribution matrix and the type of prints to be distributed. Any
requests for extra prints will be referred to Project.
3.8 Noise Control Engineer
 When noise control or noise reduction devices are to be added to
P&IDs, Mechanical and Process shall interface with the project’s
Noise Control Engineer to verify P&ID impact.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

3.9 Materials Engineer

 The Materials Engineer has the responsibility to create Materials
Diagrams when they are developed on a project (not all projects
require Materials Diagrams). Process has the responsibility to insure
that the P&IDs are in conformance with the materials and corrosion
allowances shown on the Materials Diagrams and to resolve any
discrepancies with the Materials Engineer.
3.10 Computer Aided Design (CAD)
 In Houston CAD is a separate group and is not part of the Process
Department. (In Arcadia and London CAD is part of the Process
Department.) The P&ID development is highly dependent on
Computer Aided Design (CAD). CAD produces the P&IDs using
specialized computer software. CAD prepares the drawings in
accordance with the sketches furnished by Process and Control
Systems. They also modify the drawings as directed by Process.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

 CAD’s responsibilities are as follows:

1. Standardization of drawings and meeting project standards.

2. Creating the drawings, back-checking the work, fixing all errors
found in propagation, clearing all possible warnings, and identifying
all drawing inconsistencies. Inconsistencies include discrepancies
between all piping specification and line design data.
3. Modifying the P&IDs as directed by Process.
4. Numbering the lines on the P&IDs.
5. Maintaining the Line List developed by the intelligent P&ID software.
The Line List includes all the line numbers, process operating data,
and process design data Process provides process design and
operating data by inputting this information into a Pipe Run List.
6. CAD is responsible for the electronic copy of the P&IDs. They will
convert each issue of the electronic drawings to a PDF file for
storage if required.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Computer Aided Design (continued)

 On some projects, particularly small ones, Piping Design may actually
be responsible for some or all of the above listed activities otherwise
performed by CAD. For such projects P&IDs are non-intelligent and
the Line List must be generated and maintained by Piping Design,
again with input by Process for operating and design conditions.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Legend and Symbols Sheets

 At the start of PI&D Development legend and symbol sheets are
required. These sheets contain equipment and valve symbols,
pressure safety symbols, piping designations, and piping specialty
items. They also include instrument identifications and symbols.
Typical instrument assemblies such as level bridles can be included.
 The legend sheets are the first P&IDs. They are the basis for
developing the remaining P&IDs and detail the format and content of
the drawings. The CAD group or the Client can furnish standard
legend sheet drawings. However they will generally need to be
tailored to the individual job. The process group is responsible for
issuing the Legend Sheets as with all P&IDs.

https://automationforum.co/
 Process P&ID Training

Other Types of P&IDs

 Utility P&IDs are developed the same way as for the process
drawings above; however, some of these drawings are the utility
distribution systems P&IDs. These are drawn based on the plot
arrangement and are prepared after the process P&IDs are complete
and the Plot Plan is fixed.

 Demolition P&IDs are often required on projects where equipment

and piping are being removed to accommodate the installation of new
construction. Typically either CAD or Piping Design develops these
drawings. Process reviews and checks them for accuracy.

 Auxiliary P&IDs Prepared for auxiliary systems or vendor supplied

package units.
