Engineering Drawings, Codes, Standards and Equipment Symbols

All over the years the industry has accumulated its experience in standards and codes which stipulates the minimum requirements to have a safe and economic products serving to the benefit of the project stakeholders.

Every company should select from industry standards and codes and develop its standard which is its internal law responding to the minimum requirements normally set by the regulations and laws in the country where the company operates. The industry and company standards are interrelated in a way to build on the accumulated experience and mutual benefit for each party.

The course designed to provide trainees with the basic knowledge of industry standards as well as the concept of standards, codes and specifications. Explain how to read and understand the articles and language of standards and codes. At the end of this practical workshop, participants would have practical hands-on experience creating and reading engineering drawings.

Audience

This course is designed for:

Operations and maintenance engineers
Operations engineers & supervisors
Procurement, planning engineers & supervisors whom their job duties require dealing with drawings
Supervisors and qualified senior technicians

Course objectives

At the end of the workshop participants will be able to understand and practice the following:

Reading the essential engineering drawings
Be aware with different drawings development stage from conceptual design till detailed engineering stage
Aware with equipment and piping symbols & drawings
Aware with plans and piping arrangements
Supports drawings and designs
Layout and philosophy of plants arrangements
