INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL: STANDARDS

Purpose

To establish a uniform mean of designating instruments and instrumentation systems used for measurement and control.

Scope
1)

General The procedural needs of various users are different. The standard recognizes these needs, when they are consistent with the objectives of the standardly by providing alternative symbolism methods. A number of examples are provided for adding information or simplifying the symbolism as desired.

Scope
2)

Application to Industries Chemical. Petroleum. Power generation. Air conditioning. Metal refining.

Scope
3)

Application to Work Activities Design sketches. Teaching examples. Technical papers, literatures, and discussions. Instrumentation system diagrams, loop diagrams, logic diagrams. Functional descriptions. Flow diagrams:

Process. Mechanical. Engineering. Systems piping (process) and instrumentation.

Construction drawings. Specifications, purchase orders, manifests, and other lists.

Identification of the System

FV101

Each instrument may be represented on diagrams by symbols. Instrument or function to be identified is designated by an alphanumeric code or tag number. The symbols may be accompanied by a tag number.
