Question

Which document provides detailed specifications for equipment and materials?

• A. Process Flow Diagram
• B. Piping and Instrumentation Diagram
• C. Material Safety Data Sheet
• D. Equipment datasheets

Hint:

Use datasheets when you need in-depth technical information about an equipment’s size, capacity, pressure limits, and construction materials.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Equipment datasheets are technical documents that provide detailed specifications, parameters, and operational characteristics of equipment and materials used in engineering and industrial processes.

These datasheets typically include:
- Physical dimensions
- Material of construction
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Flow capacity
- Electrical and mechanical specifications

Now let’s evaluate the incorrect options:
- Process Flow Diagram (PFD) shows the flow of materials and major equipment but not detailed specifications.
- Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) includes instrumentation and control details but focuses on the layout and not the technical specs.
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides safety and handling information for chemicals — not equipment specs.

Therefore, the correct document that provides detailed equipment and material specifications is the equipment datasheet.
