Course overview
All plants have a collection of piping and instrumentation drawings or P&IDs. These drawings show how components connect and how the process flows through the system. P&IDs also show the locations of instrument and control equipment relative to components in the process control path.
The P&ID Basics training course provides the skills necessary to read a P&ID. It identifies symbols and function labels and describes how components are related. Reading a P&ID is part of the Prints and Drawings training series.
