Standard Symbols/Drawing for Valves, Pumps, Instruments etc
(OP)
Can anyone point me to a website which lists down the standard symbols or icons used in a P&ID for equipment and instruments in a process plant. Example valves (various types), pumps, controllers, etc.

The exact symbology used at where you work may "vary" slightly from "just about everyone else's". If you are looking for a general set of symbols, try the ISA at www.isa.org. They are the instrument people. Oh, you may have to pay for it though.
If you want to know the symbology at your work, or related to your project, grab an existing set of P&IDs. The legent should be in the front.

Thanks for the link. It seems to be a useful website, but I've printed out what I need at the moment.
dalcazar/dipak, I'll keep a lookout for yr suggestions.
Ashereng, you're right. Different companies have slightly different way of depicting the more uncommon symbols. However, what I am looking for is some form of global authoritative voice that decrees the standard symbols to be used by one-and-all. And then compare this with what we have at my company.
Or at least, something close to a global standard.
