COADE CADWorx P&ID Featured in Chemical & Engineering Progress May 2009 Issue

COADE announced that the May 2009 issue of Chemical & Engineering Progress magazine featured an article on CADWorx P&ID, a primer on flow diagrams that describes the distinctions between a basic block flow diagram and the process flow diagram (PFD) which is the precursor of the P&ID, an acronym for process and instrumentation diagram and piping and instrumentation diagram, a useful tool that, with the modern technology provided by CADWorx P&ID, has become even more valuable and vital to the plant designer and engineer.

The article describes how, with CADWorx P&ID, these are longer passive drawings that hold information that only skilled CAD operators can access but intelligent tools that play a valuable and vital role in the design process. This value is in part because P&IDs are the best way to accurately document the operation of the process and also because they are a health and safety document required under government regulations.
