Description / Abstract:
This standard presents a system of graphic symbols for fluid power
diagrams.
Elementary forms of symbols are:
Symbols using words or their abbreviations are avoided. Symbols
capable of crossing language
barriers are presented herein.
Component function rather than construction is emphasized by the
symbol.
The means of operating fluid power components are shown as part of the
symbol (where applicable).
This standard shows the basic symbols, describes the principles on
which the symbols are based, and
illustrates some representative composite symbols. Composite symbols
can be devised for any fluid
power component by combining basic symbols.
Simplified symbols are shown for commonly used components.
This standard provides basic symbols which differentiate between
hydraulic and pneumatic fluid
power media.
