The ISO 10628 Standard says the following about P&ID's:
"The piping and instrument diagram (P & ID), based on the process flow diagram, represents the technical realization of a process by means of graphical symbols for equipment and piping together with graphical symbols for process measurement and control functions."
For the purpose of this forum we will refer to piping and instrument diagrams as P&IDs, process flow diagrams as PFDs and the above standard referenced as the ISO 10628 Standard.
While this forum is focused mostly on P&IDs, we would be remiss if we discounted the importance of PFDs or even UFDs (Utility Flow Diagrams). If you are answering any forum threads and reference a PFD or UFD, we ask that you take a few seconds to explain how these flow diagrams fit into your answer. Even a single line clarification can help those with less experience to know where you are coming from.
We also recognize that not everyone conforms to the ISO Standard. Many use their own standards, pulling from the ISO, ISA or PIP standards. We have used multiple standards ourselves as administrators. Keep this in mind as you post to threads. If you are referencing a standard, refer to that standard in your post. If you are referencing your own experience, you do not need to reference a standard, but you may reference your professional experience to clarify.
For example, Intel Corporation does not conform to ISO Standard Symbols, instead they use their own symbols as a standard for all engineering P&IDs that are designed in house or by contracted engineering firms, if you refer to their standard some people not recognize "POR" as the Intel Standard so you could refer to it as "When I designed P&IDs for Intel, we did it like XXXX."
In any case, remember this forum is to help everyone to create better, more beautiful P&IDs.
