How to read a P\u0026amp;ID the way a senior designer reads it - not the symbols, but the engineering judgment behind every valve, instrument, and spec break. How to route pipe that serves the physics of the system. How to review work at four levels simultaneously: correctness, functionality, resilience, and inheritance. How to read a running plant and make decisions that serve the operators and maintenance crews who will inhabit it for thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this book is for: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJunior pipe designers in the first ten years of their career who have never had the reasoning behind the rules explained.
