What drawings should the process department provide to the automation control team?
Thread Content
The company specializes in desulfurization and denitrification services. I feel that the work processes aren’t very standardized. I’m just starting out in the field of automatic control instrument design, and yet I’ve already been given pipe layout diagrams as well as process flow diagrams showing the control points. I would like to ask: what other diagrams are needed for the process? On which drawing should I draw the instrument tray?
Piping layout diagram and instrument flow diagram for the process
Thank you. Do I need to draw the instrument tray on the piping layout diagram?
From a layout perspective, you should be provided with equipment layout diagrams, pipeline layout diagrams, pipeline axonometric drawings, etc., to illustrate the installation of instruments; it’s not necessary to have all types of such diagrams, as long as the level of detail is sufficient to clarify things. The instrument tray can be produced in one version based on the layout diagram.
It should be given; only through mutual cooperation can production be improved.
Thank you! I looked at the piping layout diagram provided to me, but when it comes to the specific equipment, I didn’t see the installation locations of the measurement points on those devices For example, there is a temperature measurement point on the air preheater, but the pipeline layout diagram only shows the air preheater itself without indicating the location and height of that measurement point. How can I determine this distance?
The drawings of individual units should detail the location and specifications of the instrument interfaces; this information requires the involvement of instrumentation specialists in order to be included in the drawings of those units. At the same time, the instrumentation field should publish installation diagrams for instruments to show the installation methods.
I checked a few slots; there are details on the pipe openings, allowing me to determine the elevation of the measurement points. But there’s no information related to the pumps. So how can I figure it out?
It’s difficult when no one is there to guide you!
Indeed, it’s like forcing ducks into a boat – let’s work hard then :lol
