About The Course:
This course presents the methodology for developing and applying instrument and control drawings and the ISA Standards available to assist in this effort. You will develop actual documents for a simple project to aid your understanding.
Course Objectives:
Upon Completion of the Course, Participants will be able to:
- You will become familiar with the documents used to define instrument and control systems, including: Process Flow Diagrams, Piping & Instrumentation Drawings, Instrument Lists, Specification Forms, Logic Diagrams, Location Plans, Installation Details, Loop Diagrams
- You will understand the type of information included on each document
- You will become familiar with the sequence of document development for a typical project
- You will cover the definition and use of: Process Flow Diagrams, P&IDs, Instrument Lists, Specification Forms, Logic Diagrams, Location Plans, Installation Details, Loop Diagrams
- You will cover an overview of some process control devices and the symbols used to define them
- You will become aware of the ISA Standards available to assist you in developing and understanding instrument and control documents

Training Methodology:
The Course will be highly participative and will include a wide range of methods including presentations, discussions, videos, case studies and exercises. Where appropriate, these will include real issues brought to the Course by delegates.
- Case studies from different industries will be investigated. Each delegate will receive an extensive reference manual, as well as case studies, while worked out solutions will be handed out to the delegates on conclusion of group discussions.
- To ensure the concepts introduced during the course are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentation, open discussion, case studies, simulations and group work.
