If you can't read a P&ID diagram, you need this self-study course

Friends, based on the questions I get, and some of the posts I see on the various automation websites and email discussion lists and web forums, reading a piping and instrumentation diagram is becoming a lost art. Unfortunately, it is a required skill for automation professionals, so I am pushing something from ISA that I think you should make required study for anybody who works for you-- and if you can't read a P&ID drawing-- for you.


Don't depend on your company to buy you this study guide either. Just go buy it.

It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of my friend Vernon Trevathan. Vernon (who hated to be called Vern) died Sunday in St. Louis, Mo. Here is the message that was sent to the ISA Executive Board, where Vernon was Vice President of the Professional Development Department. ISA director T. S. "Chip" Lee forwarded it to me.
