Flow colours in schematic
Flow colours in schematic
(OP)
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew if there were standard colours that I should be using to denote flows of certain types of materials in an engineering schematic, eg, natural gas, air, water etc... I havent dont much drawing at all before, and would like to start out on the right foot,
Cheers,
Matthew

Schematic drawings play a minor role as tools in the life of process engineer - whether at the plant site or at the design office. Why would any process engineer rely on shematic drawings when you are required to produce an accurate and process descriptive P&ID?
I wouldn't worry about a fluids' color code for schematic drawings; and I've never seen a color code on P&IDs. More often than not, a fluid identification is built into the pipe code used in the P&ID.

Everyone seems to have a different standard though it is typical to differentiate process from utility lines.
I think Mathew is quite right to ask.
And unfortunately many P&ID's are not very 'accurate and process descriptive' especially in respect of sequential processes.
