PIPING DESIGN
PL L1 BASIC MEDULE
Course Objective
Due to the demand increase of engineers in Oil & Gas field , it became a
necessity to provide the market with qualified engineers obtaining the suitable
practical knowledge.
Academic studies have always been including basics of any field , but when it
comes to a real job opportunity practical knowledge is a must.
Reaching an attractive zone in process piping field means your foot, is the first
step in DESIGN. At that point you will start to be creative member in design team.
Your engineering sense, thinking will be as a converter of lines to real live plant.
From this point, HOPPE offers this course as first step on sharing the basics
Plant Layout activities with process plant layout and piping design team.

Plant Layout
Flow Diagrams
Flow diagram is a schematic drawing showing the flow of fluids through a unit
or an entire plant. By using symbols to represent different types of
equipment, the flow diagram provides the piping designer with an overall
view of the operation of a facility.
There are two types of flow diagrams commonly used in our field which are :
a‐ Process/Utility Flow Diagram (PFD/UFD)
b‐ Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID)
A) Process/Utility Flow Diagrams (PFD/UFD):
Flow diagrams (Fig 1) are the first flow diagram developed by process department.
They show the process sequences through the plant to produce a certain output
including mass and heat balance along the fluid streams between the different
equipment at operating and maximum operating phases & the utilities generating
equipment and its distributions inside the plant.
Plant Layout
Process Flow Diagrams
PFD are used by the piping group to develop and lay out the plot plan.
When developing the plot plan, the arrangement of the equipment in the facility
reflects, in part, the logical sequence of flow depicted on the flow diagram. However,
many other factors such as code requirements, client standards and preferences, safety,
and cost also influence the positioning of equipment.
Plant Layout
Piping & Instrument Diagrams
B) Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID):
From the process & utility flow diagrams, the process group develops the P&IDs .
The P&ID provides much more detailed data than the process flow diagram.
They are more detailed diagram showing all interconnecting piping and instruments
details in additional to equipment process design data and its sizing.
P&IDs are used by piping group to prepare piping 3‐D model, piping general
arrangement drawings, piping isometrics and piping materials take off reports.
The P&IDs drawings are starting with what is called the “Legend P&IDs” or “Zeros
P&IDs” which define the following, but not limited to:
‐ P&IDs general notes and definitions
‐ Abbreviations, Line nomenclature…etc
‐ Piping, Instrument , Equipment & Safety symbology
‐ Standard details (as sample connection details,...etc)
‐ Break limit between the scope of work of both piping and instrument teams
