3.0 Explanation of PNID
Piping and instrumentation drawing (PNID) includes the components
of pneumatic control system and hydraulic control system. Pneumatic control
system uses compressible fluid meanwhile the hydraulic control system uses
incompressible fluid.
The basic components of pneumatic system are : compressor , air
tank, air dryer, regulator, directional control valve and actuator. For hydraulic
system the components are : pump, motor or cylinder, oil tank and valve.
Basically, pneumatic system is widely used in the electronic, food, and
automotive industry. Below are the uses of pneumatic system :
• Transferring of materials
• Drilling system
• Material handling (clamping, shifting, positioning, orienting)
• Stamping
• Packaging
• Automation

Piping and instrumentation
drawing (PNID) includes the
components of pneumatic
control system and hydraulic
control system.

Meanwhile, hydraulic system is normally used to operate :
• Back hoe
• Bull dozer
• CNC machine
• Load loader
• Die casting machine
The advantages of using pneumatic system and hydraulic system are
shown in Table 3.1 :
Pneumatic System Hydraulic System
1. Air – easy to get (unlimited). 1. Flexible – In power transmission ,
hydraulic power is more flexible
compared to pneumatic power.
2. Transmission – air is easy to
transfer for a long distance
through pipe line.
2. Force gain – a small force can be
used to control the large force.
3. Storage – compressed air can be
stored in air storage tank and
can be released if not needed.
3. Component – Does not need a lot
of moving mechanism.
4. Temperature – compressed air is
not sensitive to temperature
reactions that can cause burning.
4. Compact – hydraulic motor size is
smaller compared to electric
motor.
5. Clean – air leakage does not
cause environmental pollution.
5. Economy – hydraulic system is
better and more profit.
6. Component – pneumatic system
is easier to maintain and cheaper.
7. Speed – it can work faster than
hydraulic system.
8. It responses very fast to the start
and stop commands from the
controller.
9. Air does not need a back flow.

Have you tried the questions????? If “YES”, check your answers now.
Q3-1 The word ‘Pneu’ is from Greece which means wind, ‘matic’ refers to
power. Therefore pneumatic system means a system which is
operated by wind. The pneumatic system uses compressed air as a
power transfer medium. The compressed air is obtained from the
environment. Then it is compressed using electric motor.
