PROCESS PIPING  
   

What is process piping system
Piping system: conveys fluid between locations .These can be any fluid .(air,water ,milk,solvents)
Piping system includes:
•Pipe
Fittings (e.g. elbows, reducers, branch connections, etc.)
Flanges, gaskets, bolting
Valves
Pipe supports

 
 
Types of Process Diagrams

Process diagrams can be broken down into two major categories: process flow diagrams (PFDs) and process and instrument drawings (P&IDs), sometimes called piping and instrumentation drawings. A flow diagram is a simple illustration that uses process symbols to describe the primary flow path through a unit. A process flow diagram provides a quick snapshot of the operating unit. Flow diagrams include all primary equipment and flows. A technician can use this document to trace the primary flow of chemicals through the unit. Secondary or minor flows are not included. Complex control loops and instrumentation are not included. The flow diagram is used for visitor information and new employee training.

A process and instrument drawing is more complex. The P&ID includes a graphic representation of the equipment, piping, and instrumentation. Modern process control can be clearly inserted into the drawing to provide a process technician with a complete picture of electronic and instrument systems. Process operators can look at their process and see how the engineering department has automated the unit. Pressure, temperature, flow, and level control loops are all included on the unit P&ID.

 
 
Basic Instrument Symbols

Process technicians use P&IDs to identify all of the equipment, instruments, and piping found in their units. New technicians use these drawings Knowing and recognizing these symbols is important for a new technician. The chemical processing industry has as- signed a symbol for each type of valve, pump, compressor, steam turbine, heat exchanger, cooling tower, basic instrumentation, reactor, distillation column, furnace, and boiler . There are symbols to represent major and minor process lines and pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric lines, and there is a wide variety of electrical symbols.

Some symbols are common among plants; others differ from plant to plant. Some standardization of process symbols and diagrams is taking place. The symbols used in this chapter reflect a wide variety of petrochemical and refinery operations.

Typical process symbols

 
Flow Diagrams
New technicians are required to study a simple flow diagram of their as signed operating system. Process flow diagrams typically include the major equipment and piping path the process takes through the unit. As operators learn more about symbols and diagrams, they graduate to the much more complex P&IDs.
 
   
Equipment Location Drawing
Equipment location drawings (plot plans) show the exact location of equipment in relation to the plant’s physical boundaries. One of the most difficult concepts to explain to a new process technician is the scope and size of modern chemical processing. Most chemical plants and refineries closely resemble small cities; they have well-defined blocks and areas connected by a highway of piping and equipment. Equipment location drawings provide information about the neighborhood.
 
   
Loop Diagrams

A loop diagram traces all instrument connections between the field instrument and the control room panel. This includes instrument air lines, wiring
connections at field junction boxes, and control room panels and front connections
connections.
