Interface Considerations3
The detailed design approach requires
the instrumentation, process, electrical,
and mechanical (equipment engineers) to
supply each other with a great deal of
data. Listed below is a partial interface
checklist for the instrumentation
engineer developing a P&ID:
Piping/Mechanical Engineers
Once the unit operations for the facility
have been decided, the piping and
mechanical engineers can begin their
work. This involves selection and layout
of all equipment and piping.
Electrical Engineers
After the piping and mechanical groups
have finalized most of their design, the
electrical engineers and instrumentation
engineers can begin their work. The
electrical engineer will have to select
and develop power distribution schemes
for all equipment (when the P&ID shows
equipment horsepower or kW ratings).
Depending upon the design firms
philosophy, the electrical engineer may
participate in the wiring of
instrumentation interlocks and may also
run control wiring from field equipment

Equipment (distinguish
between process and nonprocess equipment with
unique layer numbers).
Examples include tanks,
pumps, mixers, agitators,
etc.
A layer for all piping
A layer for all valvescare should be taken to
ensure that electrically
operated valves (motor
operated valves) are
distinguished from
pneumatic valves or
manual valves.
A layer for process text
A layer for field mounted
instrumentation. It is
often useful to segregate
input and output types by
layer. For example, a
separate layer for analog
inputs and outputs should
be used to allow the
