AI P&ID diagram generator

P&ID diagrams with AI.

Describe your process system and AI generates piping and instrumentation diagrams with standard symbols for valves, pumps, vessels, instruments, and process equipment.

Why AI P&IDs

Process engineering diagrams in seconds.

No more searching through symbol libraries. Describe your process system in plain language and AI generates complete P&ID diagrams with proper engineering symbols, instrument tags, and piping connections.

Standard symbols

A complete P&ID symbol library.

AI matches standard P&ID symbols from a specialized icon pack. Every valve, pump, instrument and vessel uses engineering notation recognized across the industry.

  • Valves and actuators. Gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check and control valves.
  • Instruments. Temperature, pressure, flow and level transmitters and indicators.
  • Vessels and tanks. Reactors, columns, drums, storage tanks and heat exchangers.
  • Pumps and compressors. Centrifugal, positive displacement, blowers, fans.

Edit and customize

Fully editable after generation.

Every AI P&ID is fully editable. Change equipment tags, rearrange piping routes, add or remove instruments and adjust control loops to match your process. Try another prompt to explore alternative system configurations.

  • Edit tags and labels. Update instrument tags, equipment IDs and line numbers.
  • Rearrange layout. Move equipment, adjust piping routes and resize vessels.
  • Add and remove equipment. Insert more valves, instruments or piping as needed.

How it works

How AI P&ID generation works.

From process description to engineering diagram in three steps.

Step 1

Describe your process

Type your process system, equipment and instrumentation needs. AI understands engineering terminology.

Step 2

AI creates the P&ID

AI draws proper P&ID symbols, piping connections, instrument tags and equipment labels.

Step 3

Refine and export

Edit symbols, adjust piping routes or try another prompt. Export as PNG or SVG, or share with your team.

Use cases

P&IDs for every industry.

From chemical plants to water treatment, AI creates the right P&ID.

Chemical processing

Reactor systems, distillation columns and chemical mixing processes with proper safety instrumentation.

Water treatment

Filtration systems, chlorination processes and water distribution networks with flow control.

Oil and gas

Separation processes, compression systems and pipeline diagrams with industry standard symbols.

HVAC systems

Heating, ventilation and cooling systems with proper ductwork, valves and control loops.

Food and beverage

Clean in place systems, pasteurization processes and packaging line diagrams.

Pharmaceutical

Batch processing, sterile systems and purification processes with proper instrumentation.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Does AI use standard P&ID symbols?
Yes. AI matches symbols from a specialized P&ID icon pack that includes standard ISA symbols for valves, instruments, vessels, pumps and other process equipment.
Can it generate instrument tag numbers?
AI generates proper instrument tags following standard notation (e.g., TT-101 for temperature transmitter, FCV-102 for flow control valve) based on your process description.
What valve types are supported?
AI can draw gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, control valves, pressure relief valves and more with proper P&ID symbols.
Can I add control loops to the diagram?
Yes. Describe your control requirements and AI creates control loops with sensors, transmitters, controllers and final control elements connected correctly.
How complex can the P&ID diagrams be?
AI can generate P&IDs with dozens of equipment items, multiple control loops and detailed piping networks. Use more detailed prompts to build larger systems step by step.
Is the AI P&ID generator free?
MockFlow includes AI credits with all plans. For unlimited usage, connect your own Claude (via MCP) or ChatGPT (via GPT Actions) API, then you can generate P&ID diagrams with no limits at all.
