Design Guide for Instrumentation and Controls Engineers and Designers

This Book has been written to assist Engineers and Designers who are presently studying or have graduated from Technical Colleges and Universities to assist and understand the methodology in compiling an Instrumentation and Controls Engineering design package for a given project.This book highlights the basic Engineering design requirements, description of these deliverables and activities and the priority in which they are undertaken.This book outlines the requirements of the Instrumentation and Controls team for their design, whether working on a new Project or additions/modifications to an existing facility.This is not a guide on deciding what type of instrumentation or/and Control System to specify for an application but rather a guide to what design documents are required to undertake a project, their descriptions and the normal order they are provided in to meet the projects requirements.The book has been split into three parts: with the Part I dedicated to what Engineers and Designers are normally required to undertake to complete a project and Part II: is dedicated to technical guidance and Part III: provides vendor information and standard reference's to assist the Engineers and Designers.Included in Part II of this book are a series of technical guides for basic Engineering that will assist the Engineer/Designer to make the correct decision regarding Equipment and System Controller types.In Part III there are lists for Vendors, Engineering Companies and Standards references, this is not an exhaustive list, for further detailed information the Engineer/Designer should investigate further.This book is mainly concerned with the oil and gas industries but could be utilised for any industry.The technical information in this book is based on IEC codes and practices, but there are several other codes used throughout the world that will be required to be adhered to depending on the region.
