    This document provides a comprehensive list and overview of common symbols used in piping and instrumentation diagrams (PIDs) to represent process equipment, valves, flow meters, piping connections, and other elements. It notes that while standard symbols are used, each PID may define its own symbol library, so readers should always check the legend of a specific diagram. The document then proceeds to showcase symbols for lines/signals, piping connections, instruments, valves, valve actuators, valve failure modes, flow sensors, and process equipment commonly found in PIDs and PFDs.

    Common P&ID symbols used in Developing Instrumentation Diagrams

    The symbols used in piping and Instrumentation diagrams or drawings are many and
    varied. We have dealt with some of these symbols before but here we gave a
    comprehensive list of the common P&ID symbols of process equipment such as valves,
    flowmeters, piping line connections, and much more. Go through them and familiarize
    yourself with them. However they are by no means exhaustive. Getting to know these
    common P&ID symbols used in developing instrumentation diagrams will ensure that
    each time you see a P&ID; no matter how complicated you should be able to identify
    a symbol or two.

    Also know that most piping and instrumentation diagrams will come with their own
    library of symbols that may be different from the ones listed and pictured here. The
    first thing you should do with any P&ID is to check the legend section where details of
    every symbol used on the piping and instrumentation diagram is listed to ensure that
    you are interpreting the right equipment.
    Line Type & Control Signals Symbols Used in P&IDs

    Piping Connection Symbols Used in P&IDs



    Instrument Short-Hand Symbols or Bubbles Used in P&IDs



    Valves Symbols Used in P&IDs

    Note that the generic valve symbol is generally used to represent valves in a P&ID.
    However when we want to be specific as to the kind of valve in question, the specific
    valve symbol is then used.

    Valve Actuator Types Used in P&IDs:



    Valve Failure Modes Symbols Used in P&IDs:


    Flow Sensors Symbols Used in P&IDs:


    Note that FE is the general symbol for flow sensors in P&IDs. However when we are
    being specific, then any of the specific symbol for the particular flow sensor/meter
    can be used

    Process Equipment Symbols Used in P&IDs & PFDs (Process Flow Diagrams)


    Every P&ID is unique in its own way. Most of the symbols pictured here, you will see
    on most P&IDs. However, there could be variations. You must always endeavor to
    check the legend section of a particular P&ID for any process unit of a plant to get an
    idea of the library of symbols used to represent various process equipment. This way,
    there will be no conflict between what you already know and what is being presented
