Detailed Engineering Drawings, Codes, and Standards: P&ID Reading, Interpretation, and Developing
Start Date : 3 Aug,2025
End Date : 7 Aug,2025
Duration : 5 Days
Overview:
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date knowledge of detailed engineering drawings, codes, and standards. It covers the interpretation of drawings in a multi-discipline environment such as plant layout, mechanical, structural, instrumentation and piping (P&ID); the mechanical engineering drawings from design information; and the interpretation of codes, standards, and specifications in engineering drawings.
