P&ID Symbols Reference Textbook or similar

AI Thread Summary
A reliable source for P&ID symbols can often be found in existing facility drawings, typically labeled with designations like P&ID-000 or -100. Users seeking a comprehensive reference can consult specific textbooks or online resources that compile a wide range of symbols. A suggested link was shared, but some users desire more extensive documentation covering specialized components like sensible heat storage beds and gasifiers. The discussion highlights the need for accessible, detailed references for both current and future P&ID drawing and analysis. Comprehensive resources are essential for accurate and efficient P&ID creation.

To the viewer of this post,

What is a good source for the symbols used in a P&ID? I would like to have a textbook or similar which would have all (if possible, or a majority) which I could easily reference to now and in the future when drawing/analysis P&ID's.

Kind regards,
pavadrin

If you're working on P&IDs for an existing facility there is usually a drawing (numbered something like P&ID-000 or -100) that has the 'standard' symbols for that facility.
 
Here's a little primer:

This was the first hit on a google search:

thanks for the replies. the university which i study at uses P&ID-100.

@Don, thanks for the link. i did come across that before in my google search, however i was looking for something a much more extensive, a document which contained the symbols for a sensible heat storage bed, air heater, gasifiers, and so on

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
