Common codes for pipeline media: During the design of PID diagrams, it is necessary to number each pipeline, and these numbers include the code for the medium flowing in that pipeline. Instructions regarding these codes are provided in the legend on the first page of each project’s PID diagram. For the same medium, the codes may vary from one project to another. The common codes for pipeline media are listed in the table below. Table 26-1 Common Medium Codes: Serial No. NO., Item Name, ITEM Code, CODE. 1 Raw Water: RAW WATER, RW; 2 Clarified Water: CLARIFIED WATER, CLW; 3 Potable Water: POTABLE WATER, PW; 4 Demineralized Water: DEMINERALIZED WATER, DMW; 5 Boiler Feed Water: BOILER FEED WATER, BFW; 6 Boiler Water: BOILER WATER, BW; 7 Service Water: SERVICE WATER, RW; 8 Fire Water: FIRE WATER, FW; 9 Cooling Water Supply: COOLING WATER SUPPLY, CWS; 10 Cooling Water Return: COOLING WATER RETURN, CWR; 11 Chilled Water Supply: CHILLED WATER SUPPLY, CHS; 12 Chilled Water Return: CHILLED WATER RETURN, CHR; 13 Hot Water: HOT WATER, HW; 14 Wastewater: WASTEWATER, WW; 15 Chemical Wastewater: CHEMICAL WASTE WATER, WWC; 16 Oily Wastewater: OILY WASTE WATER, WWO; 17 Sanitary Wastewater: SANITARY WASTEWATER, WWS; 18 Drainage: DRAIN, DR; 19 High High Pressure Steam: HIGH HIGH PRESSURE STEAM, HHPS; 20 High Pressure Steam: HIGH PRESSURE STEAM, HPS; 21 Medium Pressure Steam: MEDIUM PRESSURE STEAM, MPS; 22 Medium Low Pressure Steam: MEDIUM LOW PRESSURE STEAM, MLPS; 23 Low Pressure Steam: LOW PRESSURE STEAM, LPS; 24 Low Low Pressure Steam: LOW LOW PRESSURE STEAM, LLPS; 25 High High Pressure Steam Condensate: HIGH HIGH PRESSURE STEAM CONDENSATE, HHPC; 26 High Pressure Steam Condensate: HIGH PRESSURE STEAM CONDENSATE, HPC; 27 Medium Pressure Condensate: MEDIUM PRESSURE CONDENSATE, MPC; 28 Medium Low Pressure Condensate: MEDIUM LOW PRESSURE CONDENSATE, MLPC; 29 Low Pressure Steam Condensate: LOW PRESSURE STEAM CONDENSATE, LPC; 30 Low Low Pressure Steam Condensate: LOW LOW PRESSURE STEAM CONDENSATE, LLPC; 31 Instrument Air: INSTRUMENT AIR, IA; 32 Plant Air: PLANT AIR, PA; 33 Air (Process Use): AIR (PROCESS USE), AIR; 34 Combustion Air: COMBUSTION AIR, CA; 35 Nitrogen: NITROGEN, N; 36 Boiler Blow Down: BOILER BLOW DOWN, BD; 37 Catalyst: CATALYST, CAT; 38 Exhaust Air: EXHAUST AIR, EXA; 39 Fuel Gas and Fuel Natural Gas: FUEL GAS AND FUEL NATURAL GAS, FG; 40 Fuel Oil: FUEL OIL, FO; 41 Foam Solution: FOAM SOLUTION, FOS; 42 Lubrication Oil: LUBRICATION OIL, LO; 43 Natural Gas Feed: NATURAL GAS FEED, NG; 44 Process Condensate: PROCESS CONDENSATE, PC; 45 Process Drain: PROCESS DRAIN, PD; 46 Process Gas: PROCESS GAS, PG; 47 Purge Gas: PURGE GAS, PUG; 48 Seal Oil: SEAL OIL, SO; 49 Vent to Atmosphere: VENT TO ATMOSPHERE, VA; 50 Vacuum: VACUUM, VC; 51 Vent Gas: VENT GAS, VG; 52 Vacuum Exhaust: VACUUM EXHAUST, VE; 53 Waste Gas: WASTE GAS, WG; 54 Oily Sewer: OILY SEWER,YO; 55 Chemical Sewer: CHEMICAL SEWER,YC.
