However, with the approval of the Owner's Engineer, the unit designation need only be shown in the
drawing title block except where more than one unit is represented on the same drawing.
2) All drawings shall be grouped according to unit designation in the PID system.
2.2. Instrumentation Designations

1) [I] Whether local or transmitted, each instrument measurement or control loop shall be designated by
an alphanumeric code or tag number. Instrument designations shall consist of letters, symbols, and
numbers as follows:

a) [*] Instrument functionality shall be defined using the VARIABLE identification letters in Table
1 and any amendments in the project specifications.
b) [*] Graphic representation of instrumentation for Company Flow Plans shall typically be in
accordance with standard symbols and notation shown in Figures 1–6, Figures 9–13, and any
amendments in the project specifications.
c) [*] All instrumentation shall be consecutively numbered within each process unit by VARIABLE
type (Table 1). Numbers shall range from 001 to 999. The Owner's Engineer shall be responsible

accordance with Item c above.
f) Individual instruments within an instrument or control loop, such as transmitters, alarms,
recorders, and control valves, shall have the same variable type and number designation as the
primary instrument. In the case of a loop containing two or more actuating devices (e.g., split-
range control valves), each actuating device shall have the same number as the primary
instrument, followed by suffix letters as required (example: "A," "B," "C," etc.). In the case of a
loop having two or more input devices of the same VARIABLE type (e.g., two thermocouples to
measure temperature difference), each input device shall have the same number as the loop
followed by suffix letters as required.
2) [I] Auxiliary instrument components, such as transmitters, alarm switches, transducers, types of
transmission lines, and similar components, do not appear on flow plans prepared by Company.
Contractor shall engineer these components and show them on all P&I drawings.
3) [*] [I] The instrument identification tag shall be written as:
(UNIT) (VARIABLE) (FUNCTION) (LOOP NUMBER) (SUFFIX LETTERS)
For example:
a) Flow (Indicating) Controller: S1FC001
b) The unit identification may be a three digit number to fit with recognized local practices, e.g.,
Sulfur Unit = 110
c) Control Valve associated with this Flow Controller: S1FV001
d) Control Valves in split range S1FV001A, S1FV001B.
e) Low Flow Alarm associated with this Flow Controller: S1FAL001
f) Flow Recorder Controller (dedicated pen): S1FRC001

[A] for approval requirements before beginning work or finalizing
design.

Attachment: Purpose Code Definitions

Code Description
* Assigned to paragraphs that require the Owner's Engineer to provide additional information or
make a decision.
A Assigned to paragraphs that require approval from the Owner's Engineer before the work may
proceed or the design is finalized.
C Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is reduced costs. Reduced cost in this context
refers to initial investment cost and does not include life cycle cost considerations. Life cycle
cost considerations are captured under reliability, maintainability, or operability purpose codes.
E Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is driven by environmental considerations.
Environmental considerations typically include specifications intended to protect against
emissions/leakage to the air, water, and/or soil. Deviations from the specifications contained
in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to local environmental
policy.
I Assigned to paragraphs that provide only clarifying information, such as Scope statements,
definitions of terms, etc.
M Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is to provide for maintainability of equipment
or systems. Maintainability provisions are those that facilitate the performance of maintenance
on equipment/systems either during downtimes or during onstream operations.
O Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is to assure operability of equipment or
systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to perform satisfactorily even
though conditions are off-design, such as during start-ups, process swings, subcomponent
malfunction, etc.
R Assigned to paragraphs whose primary purpose is to improve or assure the reliability of
equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of equipment/systems to operate
without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance interventions.
S Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications/guidance where the primary purpose is the
avoidance of incidents impacting personnel safety, process safety, and the public in general
and/or involving responses to emergency situations. Any deviation from the specifications
contained in such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to
local safety policy.
Personnel Safety: Refers to the prevention of incident-related personnel injuries or illness,
e.g., burns, cuts, abrasions, inhalation of or exposure to dangerous
substances, etc., that could result in medical treatment, restricted work,
lost-time incidents, or fatalities.
Process Safety: Refers to the prevention and control of process releases, fires, and/or
explosions that could result in damage to equipment, process disruption,
or personnel injury or illness.
