Developing and Applying Standard Instrumentation and Control Documentation (FG15)

Length: 2 days
CEU Credits: 1.4
Course Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Certification of Completion: A Certificate of Completion indicating the total number of CEUs earned will be provided upon successful completion of the course.

Description:

This course will present the methodology for the designing and developing control systems documentation. The development of piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs) and related ISA drawings are emphasized. This course covers both the development and the reading/interpreting of these documents, making it beneficial to engineers, designers, software programmers, system integrators, and technicians.

"The application exercises allowed me to become familiar with P&ID symbology." ~Wesley Van Nieuwenhuyzen

You will be able to:

  • Design, develop, and interpret the documents used to define instruments and control systems for a typical project, including P&IDs, loop diagrams, specification forms, instrument lists, logic diagrams, installation details, and location plans
  • Explain the information included on each document
  • Plan document development as it relates to project management
  • Apply ISA standards for symbols and terminology to documentation
  • Describe the relationship of ISO 9000, OSHA process safety management (PSM), and API 750 to control systems documentation

"All of the feedback I have received on the course has been positive. Thanks for being attentive to our daily feedback." ~Andrea Hawkins, Manager, Automation, Instrumentation, and Electrical Systems, Conoco-Phillips

You will cover:

  • P&IDs: Definition and Use | ISA Standard Symbols and Identification | Contents and Piping Information | Design and Construction | Developing from Flow Diagrams | Scheduling Considerations | Hazardous Area Considerations
  • Instrument Lists: Definition and Use
  • Control System Software: PLC/DCS Functional Requirement Documentation Development
  • Logic Diagrams: Definition and Use | Symbology | Interpretation | ISA Standards
  • Installation Details: Use | Development | Materials of Construction | Valves | Scheduling
  • Location Plans: Purpose and Development | Structural Considerations | Electrical and Other Trays | Panel Location
  • Loop Diagrams: Purpose | Interpretation | Development | ISA Standards | Scheduling Considerations
  • Control Methods: Feedback | Feedforward | Ratio | Cascade | Control Valves
  • Standards and Documentation: ISA5.1 - ISA5.6 | ISO 9000 | OSHA | Process Safety System Management | API 750

Classroom/Laboratory Exercises:

  • Develop diagrams for flow, level, temperature, and pressure loops
  • Develop documentation for sample instruments
  • Design and develop a P&ID from a flow diagram and process description
  • Design and develop logic diagrams
  • Develop other project documents
