Shutdown Interlock Numbering on P&IDs

Shutdown Interlock Numbering on P&IDs

Shutdown Interlock Numbering on P&IDs

(OP)
Hi,
Is there a good way to develop Interlock numbering schemes on P&IDs. Should it be done on an equipment by equipment basis ?

Like a high level transmitter in a vessel has the same interlock number as the inlet SDV. The low level transmitter has the same interlock number as outlet SDV.

Please advise if anybody has used a good system and it served the best purpose.

Thanks,

RM

RE: Shutdown Interlock Numbering on P&IDs

This scheme works well, I have seen similar:
Use separate logic diagram for the interlocks - there really isn't room on a P&ID to show complete logic.
Then put the logic diagram number in the interlock diamond.
If it is a long number you need only use the last few digits if you have a suitable drawing numbering scheme.

RE: Shutdown Interlock Numbering on P&IDs

I have seen a system where all interlocked valves are "connted" by line to a special piping item "box". The SI is numbered (tagged) and the box has a text below saying e.g. mechanical interlocking. I think attempting to add info about sequence of interlocking on the p&id will overload the p&id with information.

Best regards Morten
