Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)

A Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) is a detailed visual representation of a system's piping, equipment, and instrumentation in industrial processes. It maps out the flow of materials and shows how different components, like pumps, valves, and gauges, are interconnected. P&IDs help engineers and operators understand how a system operates, ensuring safety, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They are essential for designing, building, and troubleshooting process facilities, as they provide a comprehensive overview of the plant's systems and their functions.
