PIP PIC001 2008 Edition, April 1, 2008 Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Documentation Criteria
More info
Description / Abstract: This Practice describes the requirements for PID format and content. The Practice is independent of time in a facility life cycle and encompasses design, construction, operations, and maintenance.
This Practice covers the generation of new PIDs and does not apply to the revision of existing PIDs. This Practice also applies to PIDs provided by packaged equipment vendors.
This Practice applies to all diagrams that fit the definition of a PID in Section 3.
The requirements provided in this Practice can be applied to any CAD system used for developing the PIDs and are not vendor, hardware, or software specific.
The requirements provided in this Practice provide a balance between showing all data on PIDs and making PIDs legible and easy to read. While this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials.
The example PIDs included in the Appendixes of this Practice are not intended to recommend specific design details or requirements. Example PIDs are included to provide an illustration of how the elements of this Practice are combined into a PID.
Electronic native files for the text, symbols, and cover sheets are available to PIP Member Companies for input to members' CAD systems. Development of project-specific cover sheets is recommended using the PIP native files as a starting point. Additions and/or deletions are allowed to meet requirements. Cover sheet borders and title blocks can be altered.
