    The document outlines conventions used in piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) to identify the location and function of instrumentation. The location of an instrument can be shown as either in the plant, on the front of a control room panel, or the back of a control room panel. Letters are used to indicate the type of measurement or function - the first letter refers to the measured property and the second or third letter specifies additional details like if it's an alarm, control, etc.
