Why you need symbols in process flow diagram and piping and instrumentation diagram?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
You need symbols on PFDs and PIDs because an exact drawing is more complex than necessary on those documents. Too much space would be occupied by the detailed sketch of something as simple as a valve, when all that those two documents need to show is what kind of valve, how large it is, and where in the process it needs to go.
