Layout of PID
2-3 minutos

Layout requirements are intended to gain a balance between the

desire to present all necessary data on P&IDs and the need to
make P&IDs easy to read and understand.

In terms of layout, a P&ID should follow the criteria below.

1. Reading order: Criteria contained herein apply to reading a

P&ID from the bottom or right side of the drawing.

2. Drawing size: standard size is 22" x 34" (560 mm x 864 mm).

3. Present each P&ID to avoid disorder and allow future

modifications. Show no more than three pieces of major equipment
per P&ID. Leave more space for text entry and easier reading.

4. Show primary flow on each P&ID from left to right. Show flow
through equipment relative to actual arrangement (e.g., cooling
water supply in bottom of exchanger tube bundle and cooling water
return out top).

5. Line weight variety: Make primary process lines heavier than

secondary and utility lines to show hierarchy. Change line weight
with Line tool in Home tab.

6. Show off-page connector arrows for primary, secondary and

instrumentation lines entering the P&ID horizontally 0.25" (6.4 mm)
from the left inside borderline and exiting 0.25"(6.4 mm) horizontally

from the right inside borderline. Utility connectors may be shown at

any convenient location within diagram area.

7. Show the center point of a PSE (Pressure Safety Element)

identification bubble 0.5" (12.7 mm) above a horizontal line or left of
a vertical line and 0.5" (12.7 mm) away from the rupture disc or
equipment.
