Description of the different levels of contents in P&ID (or D&ID)

Flow sheets:

Shows major principle of the system as described in specification (outline or contract)

Main equipment as pumps, tanks, engines, heat exchangers, AHU and also some main valves are
indicated as rectangular blocks/valves in order to visualize the principle of the system.

Only major pipe lines and line sizes, diameter only, are showed.

Only main capacities for equipment are indicated example as: pump flow, heat exchangers cooling
capacity, compressors flow/pressure, and volume of receivers/tanks.

Basic Design Level 1 (Design Level 1):

Pipes and Ducts with valves and equipment developed from flow diagrams or after agreed list.
Includes all pipes except minor pipes as drains or similar.

Approximately pipe dimensions and equipment sized in accordance with historical data or some
typical vendor information.

Main equipment is tag numbered.

Instruments are not included.

Pipe and valve material summary described in a list.

Basic Design Level 2 (Design Level 2):

Developed P&ID and D&ID with valves and equipment more developed from Design Level 1. Includes
all pipes except minor drain lines in systems

All systems onboard normally included. Document list has to be agreed.

Approximately pipe dimensions and equipment sized in accordance with typical or makers list vendor
information.

Approximately pressure drop and heat load calculation followed up and critical system as ballast/fire
water calculation more developed.

Main equipment is tag numbered.

Instruments are included but not tagged.

Pipe and valve material described in list.

Equipment sizing based on makers list vendors with “Largest equipment sizing” principle
 2008-06-27_Rev 2/AxFr

Design briefs/basis developed to a level of main function understanding and major features to be
included.

Extended Basic Design level 3 (Design Level 3):

Fully Developed P&ID and D&ID with valves and equipment.

Pipe dimensions and equipment sized in accordance with purchased/final selected vendor
information.

Small instrument pipes not included.

Approximately pressure drop calculation followed up and based on pipe routing for critical systems.
Heat load calculation based on final vendor data.

Final vendor data available.

P&ID completely tagged i.e. equipment, instruments and valves are tag numbered. Instrument
included in vendor delivered unit is not included or tagged.

Line numbers for pipes are included.

Material list developed with line numbers for pipes, valves and special equipments (strainers, flow
meters etc.).

Design briefs/basis includes description of system with control in such way that it is a base for the
operational manual.
