Instrument Indentifiers Measured Variable F = Flow L = Level P = Pressure Q = Quantity T = Temperature Symbols for Process Equipment. The level of detail for the equipment relates to the type of schematic being produced. A Process Flow Sheet will only show the basic level of information sufficient to show the essential process flowpaths. An Engineering Line Diagram of P & ID drawing will show a much more detailed representation. Type of Conditioner R = Recorder I = Indicator C = Controller A = Alarm
