Abstract
The pfdicons package provides TikZ shapes to represent commonly encountered unit operations for depiction in process flow diagrams (PFDs) and, to a lesser extent, process and instrumentation diagrams (PIDs). The package was designed with undergraduate chemical engineering students and faculty in mind, and the number of units provided should cover–in Turton's estimate–about 90 percent of all fluid processing operations.
Licensing
The pfdicons package is covered by the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL), version 1.3c or later. The latest version can be found at http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt.
Documentation
The documentation of the package can be found in pfdicons-doc.pdf, provided together with its source code pfdicons-doc.tex. A log of changes to the package is provided in pfdicons-changelog.pdf, which is provided together with its source code pfdicons-changelog.tex.
