DCS screen configuration standard
Thread Content
I remember there used to be a standard that specified the colors of pipes on DCS screens, as well as rules regarding the thickness of main and branch pipes. I can’t recall what the standard number was; any help would be appreciated! I want written proof, not to rely on experience.
There’s no such standard; it’s up to each manufacturer.
There really are such cases; I had sent them to the shift supervisor so that they could review them based on the screen recordings. But the person in question left the job, and all the emails were lost. . .
I don’t know; anyway, our configuration doesn’t have this requirement
The petroleum and petrochemical industries have specific color codes for pipeline colors; you can check the relevant standards
There are color standards for the pipes on-site, but it’s not clear whether there are any requirements regarding the DCS displays; perhaps your original company has unified guidelines in place. If there are any specific requirements you know about, please let me know so I can learn from them as well.
It’s not a big deal; let the craftsmanship decide. Choose whatever color you like, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye.
The petroleum and petrochemical industries have specific requirements regarding the colors of pipelines. As for the colors on the DCS interface, based on my personal work experience, it is sufficient to coordinate with the operators – as long as the colors are not too harsh on the eyes and facilitate long-term operation by the staff.
There are only color standards for the external coating of pipes, but no such standards for the colors of DCS system pipelines. I think it’s not very appropriate to directly apply painting standards in some cases; there are few options available, and they are not easy to distinguish from one another.
