Graphic Symbols Standards

Pneumatic symbols conform to and are devised

from the International Standard ISO 1219-1 1991
This covers graphical symbols for Fluid Power
Systems and Components
Port markings for fluid power valves are not
covered by the ISO standard. These are taken
from the recommendations of CETOP RP 68 P

Basic Symbols

Shapes

These shapes and lines in the relative

proportions shown, make up a set of basic
symbols from which fluid power symbols and
circuits are constructed

Basic Symbols (shapes)

Symbol sets can be drawn to any size but their

scale and relative proportions are determined by
a basic dimension of your choice l

Pressure Control

Pressure regulators

A pressure regulator symbol represents a normal state with the spring holding the
regulator valve open to connect the supply to the outlet.

The dotted line represents the feedback, this opposes the

spring and can vary the flow through the valve from full flow,
through shut off, to exhaust. The symbol is usually drawn in
only this one state. The flow path can be imagined to hinge
at the right hand end to first shut off the supply then
connect to the exhaust.

Pressure relief valves

A pressure relief valve symbol represents a normal state with the spring holding
the valve closed.

The dotted line represents feed-forward, this opposes the

spring and can be imagined to lift the flow path. When the
pressure reaches an excess value the flow path will line up
with the ports and flow air to relief.

Valve symbol structure

Valve symbol structure

The function of a valve is given by a pair of

numerals separated by a stroke, e.g. 3/2..
The first numeral indicates the number of main
ports. These are inlets, outlets and exhausts but
excludes signal ports and external pilot feeds.
The second numeral indicates the number of
states the valve can achieve.

Valve symbol structure

A 3/2 valve therefore has 3 ports (normally these

are inlet, outlet and exhaust) and 2 states (the
normal state and the operated state)
The boxes are two pictures of the same valve

A 5/2 valve symbol is constructed in a similar way. A

picture of the valve flow paths for each of the two
states is shown by the two boxes. The 5 ports are
normally an inlet, 2 outlets and 2 exhausts

Valve symbol structure

The full symbol is then made by joining the two

boxes and adding operators. The connections
are shown against only the prevailing state

Three position valves have a normal central

position that is set by springs or with a manual
control such as a lever
The flow pattern in the centre position varies
with the type. Three types will be considered
1, All ports sealed
2, Outlets to exhaust, supply sealed
3, Supply to both outlets, exhausts sealed
