ISA 5.1 One Day Workshop

The ISA Montreal Section will be hosting a technical workshop that will outline and explain how to read and prepare Process Control documentation based on the ISA-5.1 (Instrumentation Symbols and Identification) standard.

The fundamental concepts and type of drawings that are covered by the standard will be outlined, explained, and prepared.

Participants will learn how to read, modify, and prepare accurate P&ID’s based on process and instrument specification.

The ISA-5.1 standard is widely used in industry to establishes a uniform means of depicting and identifying instruments or devices and their inherent functions, instrumentation systems and functions, and application software functions used for measurement, monitoring, and control, by presenting a designation system that includes identification schemes and graphic symbols.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• What is ISA-5.1 concepts, symbols and diagrams
• The PFD (Process Flow Diagram)
• The P&ID (Process & Instrumentation Drawing):
  its purpose and function.
• The control loop and its documentation
• Interpret, Modify, and Produce proper process control documentation.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

Anyone whom is presently working in or would like to work in the exciting and expanding field of instrumentation and automation to gain practical knowledge of the key elements of industrial instrumentation and automation to improve their work skills and to further their job prospects:

• Sales personnel
• Maintenance Engineers and Supervisors
• Energy Management Consultants
• Design Engineers
• Project Managers
• Consulting Engineers
• Production Managers
• Chemical and Mechanical Engineers
• Instrumentation and Process Control
• Technicians

Even those who are highly experienced in industrial instrumentation and automation may find it useful to gain some hands-on know-how in a concentrated but practical format

The workshop will be presented by: Patrick Bouwman
