PID Information

The document discusses process instrumentation diagrams (PIDs), including their elements such as equipment, lines, valves, and instrumentation loops. PIDs show engineering details and arrangement of equipment, instruments, piping, valves, and fittings. They allow process engineers to construct, start up, operate, and shut down a plant.
