Reading P & Ids Made Easy

Who Is This Course For?
ISA and Control Engineering offer resources to help Engineers, Technicians (Tradesmen such as Instrumentation, Electrical, Millwrights, Scaffolders, and Pipefitters…), Plant Operators, Students, and others who want to review or learn how to read Piping and Instrumentation Drawings (P & IDs). In short, if you work in the process and power plant industries, or you are in college learning
any courses that will take you into these industries, this book/course is for you. From my experience working in Process and Power Plants, I saw a lot of folks struggling in their duties simply because they did not know how to read P & IDs. There is nothing that knocks down your self-esteem at work other than having to always depend on your fellow workers to perform certain tasks just because you lack the knowledge and confidence to do it for yourself. I remember easily beating competition during an interview at my first job as an Instrumentation and Controls Professional by displaying a sharp knowledge of Reading P & IDs. From then on I’ve never underestimated the power of the ability to read P & IDs in industry or school courses. This knowledge can mean the difference between getting an opportunity and missing it for good.
P & IDs are used by Field Technicians and Mechanics, Security, Safety, Health and Environmental personnel (SSHE), Engineers, and Plant Operators to better understand the process and how the various instruments are interconnected. They can also be useful in training workers and contractors. Knowing this, you can see already why you should take seriously this training as it will give you a valuable skill set that you will always use in your career.
