    1.0.0 INTRODUCTION

    The information needed to identify+ locate+ install+ repair+ maintain+and troubleshoot instrument systems and e9uipment is included inseveral types of drawings and documents. To safely and effectivelyperform 9uality instrument work+ you need to be able to read andunderstand these drawings and documents.

    5eing able to 9uickly and effectively use instrument drawings anddocuments takes a combination of knowledge and on:the:jobe4perience.

    2.0.0 INSTRUMENT SYMBOLS AND IDENTIFICATION

    The Instrument Society of )merica 1IS)2 has established a standardset of symbols and identification techni9ues that are widely used forinstrument drawings and documents. IS) symbols+ abbreviations+and identification techni9ues are published in IS) Standard S'."+entitled Instrumentation Symbos and Identification. It is rec:ommended that you have a copy of this standard+ or access to it+ soyou can look up information that you may need when readinginstrument diagrams and documents.

    ;hile most companies use IS) standards as the basis for preparingtheir drawings and documents+ a company may make some

    N/)$Sometimes first:letter designations are modified to reflect the needsof a particular project. ou will need to check the -$$,* on theinstrument drawings and documents for each project to verify theuse of each first:letter designation for the instrument tag numbers.

    The first letters %' D' /' N' and 0+ which are classified as usersc"oice' are normally used to identify unlisted measured or initiatingvariables that are used repetitively on a project. =or e4ample+ N thickness or 0 stress.

Their definitions as to position must be defined onthe drawings.

    The first letter H+ which is designated as uncassified' is also used forunlisted measured or initiating variables. It is normally used only

    once+ or to a limited e4tent+ to identify a particular variable.

    The first letter H may also be used to identify a number of differentunlisted variables on instrument drawings for the same project.;hen the first letter H is used in this manner+ an e4planation of itsmeaning is generally defined on the drawing+ outside the taggingballoon.

    If the tag number contains more than two letters+ the second letter

    may be used to modify or better define the first letter in the tagnumber+ or it may also identify the function of the instrument. Thethird letter may also denote function or it may modify or betterdescribe the second letter function. =or e4amples+ an instrumentwith a tag number of #$ P*T #-% would identify a Pressure*ifferential Transmitter.

In a situation wherean instrument has a tag lettering of P)L 1Pressure )larm Low2+ thesecond letter identifies the function of the instrument as an alarm+while the third letter modifies or better describes the second letterfunction as a low alarm.

    Special tag numbers containing more than three letters may evenbe re9uired in certain installations to better identify or describe aninstrument in a loop+ but the succeeding letter designations shouldfollow the same general pattern as those tag numbers containingtwo or three letter designations.

    )n instrument loop consists of one or more interconnectedinstruments arranged to measure and?or control a process variable.

    To identify all instruments in a particular loop+ a loop identificationnumber is assigned. This loop number becomes part of the tagnumber.

    Loop numbering may be parallel or serial. In parallel numbering+instrument numbering involves starting a numerical se9uence foreach new first letter8 for e4ample+ TI7:#$$+ =37:#$$+ or LI7:#$$. Inserial numbering+ instrument numbering can be set up using asingle se9uence of numbers for a project or for relatively large sec:tions of a project+ regardless of the first:letter of the loopidentification+ for e4ample+ TI7:#$$+ =37:#$"+ LI7:#$#+ etc. Figure 6shows a typical instrument loop using parallel tag numbers for eachinstrument.

    shown. The primary element represents an orifice plate 1=D#2mounted in the process line downstream from the flow control valve1=D#2. =D# provides the input to a flow transformer 1=T#2 thatcontrols the signal to control valve =G# according to a desired setpoint on the controller 1=I7#2. =G# operates to regulate the flow in

    the process line+ which is again monitored and measured by =D#+which continues to supply the loop. This arrangement is referred toas a feedback loop since all four devices in the loop depend on thepreceding device in the loop for feedback 1information2 to allow it tofunction. (otice that controller =I7# is the only discreet instrumentlocated in a primary location+ probably in the control room.
