Foreword

Throughout all stages of the design of a chemical plant, engineers of manydisciplines communicate by reference to diagrams ranging from the simple blockdiagram, where process alternatives are screened and developed, to thecomprehensive engineering line diagrams from which the plant is planned andfabricated. The graphic symbols employed in these diagrams need to be relativelysimple and versatile, so that they may be easily modified to suit the particulardesign requirement; also their form should be representative of the equipmentthey describe.

This useful "reference book hascollected together graphic symbols from manystandard documents and other sources and these have been arranged so that theselection of the appropriate symbol for-formulation or interpretation of themany different flowsheets is easily accomplished. The existence of alternativesymbols for the same item emphasises the need for further standar.disation in thisarea and it is hoped that this publication has made a valuable contribution in thisrespect.

This book is recommended for undergraduate chemical engineering students,especially those embarking on design project work, and it is believed that it willalso be useful to draughtsmen and process engineers employed in plant designoffices in the chemical industry.

Preface

Process flow (PFD) and engineering line (ELD) diagrams are the chemical andprocess engineer's basic means of communication during the development. processand project engineering of plants. However. difficulties are frequently encounteredin interpreting or formulating these diagrams. Such problems are primarilyassociated with the layout and use of graphic symbols employed to representplant items and ancillary equipment, including control and instrumentationfeatures of the process.

The types of question that arise are:What does this symbol represent?Which type of internals is employed in this distillation column?Does a recognised symbol exist for a plate heat exchanger?Two symbols are available for a diaphragm valve: which is preferred. and

why?Can it be shown graphically how the valve is actuated. with the type of

fittings for connection to pipelines?

Frequent reference to the various different published systems of symbols toanswer these questions distracts the designer from the continuity of the f1owsheet.Moreover. confusion over symbol use and interpretation. as well as being time­consuming. can lead to serious mistakes which may be costly to rectify and. ifthey remain undetected. can result in inefficient or even unsafe plant.

Although flowsheets fulfil diverse functions. their chief use is to communicate aprocess design clearly and accurately with the minimum of effort on the part ofthose engaged in producing and interpreting them. The principal objective incompiling this book has been to ease these tasks by providing a comprehensivelist of graphic symbols with examples to illustrate the way they are used.

Introduction

To keep this compilation within manageable size it has been necessary to restrictthe sources to existing British and American standards, together with a selectionof symbols used by major industrial design offices. The use of standard symbols isrecommended wherever possible, but the alternatives may be used in the absenceof a standard symbol or where there is a need to convey more detailedinformation.

Although standards are periodically revised, the continuous introduction of anincreasing variety of chemical plant equipment results in a time-lag in theformulation of acceptable symbols. The British Standards-Institution has recentlypublished BS 1553: Part 1 : 1977 Graphical symbols for general engineering:piping systems and plant. I This supersedes three earlier standards, 1,3,6 withadditions to update the existing symbols together with some minor changes, andshould be used wherever possible.

However, symbols derived from the superseded standards are included in thisbook to aid interpretation of diagrams formulated before the new standard wasissued. Symbols for heating and ventilating installations are not included, sincethey do not feature regularly in process flow and engineering line diagrams;again, the designer is referred to BS 1553; Part 1: 1977 which provides acomprehensive listing.

Inevitably, some symbols are omitted: industrial concerns often have their own'standard' symbols which exhibit differences depending on personal preferenceand on the intended function of a particular drawing. Common experience is thatcontractors and manor manufacturers, while in favour of standardisation, arereluctant to change the ir established practice. Where symbols have not beenstandardised for equipment of recent design, Hill 8 presents a method of creatingeffective symbols which may be usefully employed.

The information that a symbol should convey depends on the purpose of thedrawing and it is thus an advantage if detail can be added progressively as theapplication commands: Figures 1 and 2 take the basicsymbols for a valve and fora distillation column as they would appear in a PFO and illustrate in logical stepshow the symbols may be developed for incorporation into an ElO.

The PFD should depict the major equipment together with the principal flowroutes from raw material feed to final product. Key temperatures and pressurescorresponding to anticipated normal operation are indicated throughout.Material flows and compositions, basic control systems and the design duties ofmajor equipment may be included to give a comprehensive representation of theprocess in readily usablefonn. Figure 3 (facing page 70) provides an example ofa PFD for a gas/liquid processing plant which has been drawn to the recommenda­tions of the Institution of Chemical Engineers21 and the specifications of BS5070: 1974.22 It has the following features:

Major plant items are drawn to scale.Plant items are positioned in correct elevation relative to each other.The type of equipment is clearly indicated.Service headers are shown together at the top of the drawing.Service branch lines to items are drawn firmly but thinly, whereas all process

flow lines are of the heavy type.Only the more important valves are shown and in this connection only the

sizes of the more important pipelines need be indicated .The drawing is completed with an item list (of which there are several

types).

ELDs are of fundamental importance in all phases of the life of the plant andserve as working documents in the engineering design and construction stage.Wells,Seagrave and Whiteway23 have listed the minimum information that anELD should convey as follows:

1. All process equipment and piping required for start-up, shutdown,emergency and normal operation of the plant, including valves, blindsand removable spools.

2. An identification number, an identifier of the material of construction,diameter and insulation requirements for each line.

3. Direction of flow.4. Identification of main process and start-up lines.5. All instrumentation, control and interlock facilities with indication of

action on instrument air failure.6. Key dimensions or duties of all equipment.7. Operating and design pressures and temperatures for vessels and .

reactors.8. Equipment elevations.9. Set pressures for relief valves.

10. Drainage requirements.11. Special notes on piping configuration as necessary (e.g. 'no pockets',

'gravity drainage', etc.]

The designer will appreciate that the ELD is developed using the PFD as a basisdrawing with subsequent addition of the necessary detail. Taking the PFO (Figure3) for the 2-butanone (MEK) process which is described by Austin and Jeffreys,24this procedure has been adopted to produce the ELO for the solvent recovery partof the plant (Figure 4, page 73).

How to Use this Book

The text is divided into three arts:

General equipmentPiping systemsInstrumentation and control

The principal categories of plant items appear as subheadings, and within eachsection the symbols are arranged alphabetically. Symbols in the first column arederived from British Standards and in the second from the American NationalStandards Institute; the last two columns list the symbols employed by selectedindustrial design offices.

Where the words 'basic' and 'general' appear beside symbols they have quitedifferent implications. A basic symbol is one to which further graphic additionsmay be made to indicate the required detail, whereas a general symbol may beemployed to represent all types of equipment in the particular category. Thesource of each symbol is given by a circled number referring to the referenceson page 92.

The size of symbols is not governed by standard specifications except for thoserelating to instrumentation diagrams. However, the main plant items in PFDs andELDs should be drawn to convenient scale and designers should ensure thatsymbols are of sufficient size to avoid loss of detail if the diagrams are to bereduced.
