Hello.
From how you ask the question (unfortunately) it is clear that you do not "feel the topic".
To start "reading" diagrams, you need to know the symbols that are on the schematic - electronic, electrical and automation (hydraulic), because you ask about ACP (measuring orifices, flow meters, recorders, etc., and even manometers.
You write that few such schemes - schemes are "the whole world is abandoned", but it is not the scheme that teaches him to read.
The description (name) of the symbol that appears in the diagram can be found in books, here on Elektrodzie, on Wikipedia, etc. Once you know the symbols (you will learn to recognize them by naming them, you can tell what you see in the diagram -np. from AKP), the wires (tubes) from the measuring orifice run to the flow meter and the electrical signal to the recorder.
Reading the scheme, and understanding it is a completely different topic (almost).
You write about (some) industrial secrets, and reading the scheme - if you have a schematic you read it, if you did not give it, then the ability to read and understand will not help you.
In conclusion - you need to learn the symbols (names), follow the connection between them (understand). With many schemes as well as DTR are descriptions of device operation, which allows you to understand what you see in the diagram.
"You will be comforted" - in this topic you have to learn to "the end of life", if only because new elements are constantly being created and what new symbols are going on for.
