Maintain drawings and documentation for process and instrumentation diagrams after modification.
Building Skills for Reading and Interpreting Process and Instrumentation Diagrams
An applied course in process and instrumentation diagrams built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on process and instrumentation diagrams in good years and paid for in bad ones. Equipment involved in instrumentation diagrams rarely fails without warning; the warning is usually in data nobody reviewed. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda and prepares them for it. The course sets out a working method for process and instrumentation diagrams that participants can apply the week they return. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this area of engineering and maintenance work is examined from more than one functional angle. Comparative studies of instrumentation diagrams across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on process and instrumentation diagrams and revise it on evidence. Moving instrumentation diagrams from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of engineering and maintenance work that each participant writes for their own organisation.

- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for instrumentation diagrams.
- Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on process and instrumentation diagrams.

Instrumentation diagrams: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for instrumentation diagrams on evidence
