This topic is already(Piping and instrumentation diagram) discussed in instrumentpedia. But now I feel that more explanation is required on this topic.That is why I decided to write a detail post about it. For reading a piping and instrumentation diagram someone should be very much familiar with the symbols.We can classify the instruments in to three large families. 1.Locally mounted instruments. 2.Instrument present in the front end. 3.Instrument present in the back end(Not accessible by operator. This class of instrument is located in the controller.
