The diagram from above is a typical

representation of P&ID or Piping &
Instrumentation Diagram of a pump.

Guideline to prepare a
P&ID for pumps
1. Proper pump symbol should be selected rst
of all, as shown in the presented drawing. This
should be selected from the list of equipment
symbols on the legend sheets of a particular
project.

2. All the nozzles on the pump should then be x

correctly represented with size and anges.
This includes inlet and outlet nozzles and

casing drains and vents as shown in the 

sample drawing presented here. Generally,

the suction and discharge nozzles on the
pump are smaller than suction and discharge
line sizes. Appropriate reducer / expander to
be clearly indicated in such cases.

3. Inlet and outlet lines are the next to be drawn

up. Line number, material class, size etc. is to
be correctly assigned to each of the lines in
the pump P&ID.

4. Isolation valves, spectacle blinds, spacers etc.

to be used for maintenance should be drawn
up next on the inlet / outlet lines. The isolation
valves on suction and discharge lines should x
be 'Locked Open' in case of automatic pump
start-up.

5. Pump inlet line in the P&ID diagram is to be

tted with a strainer for pump protection. This
strainer can be equipped with a pressure
di erential gauge to monitor blockage in the
strainer.

6. Pressure gauges are normally to be provided

on suction and discharge of the pump. In
addition, pressure transmitters connected to
Emergency Shutdown (ESD) system can also
be provided as per requirements.

7. A check valve should be normally provided on

the pump discharge to avoid reverse ow
when the pump is not in operation.

8. Downstream to the check valve on the pump

discharge, minimum ow recirculation line for
the pump needs to be provided. A owmeter
should be provided before the minimum ow
line, as shown on the presented sample
drawing.

9. A ow control valve with or without bypass is

then to be provided on the minimum ow
recirculation line. The isolation valves for this
control valve need to be locked open or sealed

open and the FCV should be of 'Fail Open' x

type. The minimum recirculation line is
normally routed back to the suction vessel of

the pump. 

10. Drains and vents to be provided on the

suction / discharge lines, minimum ow line
and on pump casing, so that the pump and
associated piping can be completely drained
for maintenance.

11. For purging the pump with nitrogen, a

connection should be provided right after
isolation valve on the suction line. This
connection can also be used as a drain.

12. Temperature gauges and transmitters to be

provided as per requirements for operating
and controlling the equipment.
x
13. All the guidelines given here are very general
and may be modi ed as per speci c
requirements of any particular project.

These are general design guidelines for a

pumping system, applicable even outside the
scope of simply creating a piping &
instrumentation diagram for a pump.
