Reading Process Drawing

Process drawings are technical diagrams used in engineering that show information about industrial processes. There are several common types of process drawings including block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and utilities flow diagrams. These diagrams use standardized symbols and notation to convey information about equipment, piping, instrumentation, utilities, and process flows. Process drawings must adhere to established equipment standards and guidelines to ensure consistency and safety.
