Symbols for Process Equipment

The levels of detail for process equipment relates to the schematic type produced. A process flow sheet will only show basic levels of technical information sufficient to highlight essential process flow paths. An engineering line diagram of P and ID will show a lot more detailed comprehensive information and technical detail.

Reading Pneumatic Schematic Symbols

 Valve Symbol

5/2 Valve has 5 ports and 2 possible conditions

1.) B is pressurized and A is exhausted.
2.) A is pressurized and B is exhausted.

When the solenoid is NOT energised the B port is pressurized. The spring symbol defines the valve position at rest.

The Block

Solenoid Drawing
The block symbolizes the possible valve functions or positions. Example: A 5/2 valve schematic will be illustrated with 2 blocks describing two valve functions or positions/ A 5/3 valve schematic will show three blocks describing 3 possible valve functions.
The Actuator.
Valve Drawing Symbol
(Solenoid) Symbol
Pneumatic valves can be operated in several ways. Hand operated (including levers and push and or push pull buttons) : Air piloted (operated remotely by pneumatic signals) : Solenoid (directly actuated with electronic signals)
Exhaust Port Symbol
Valve CAD Symbol
The inverted triangle symbol Denotes an exhaust port. The letters EA indicate this is the exhaust port for the A circuit. Ebin turn indicated the exhaust port for the B circuit.
The Arrows
SV Symbol
The arrow symbols illustrate the direction of gasses flowing into and out of the valve ports. Gas pressure is supplied from port P. Depending on which of the valve blocks is in function, the gas is directed to port A or B as shown by the arrows.
The return spring
Solenoid Drawing
The spring symbol defines the “at Rest” position of the solenoid valve. The spring “pushes” from the side it is drawn on and places the right side block diagram of the valve in function.
The T Symbol
Solenoid Drawing
This symbol indicates that a port is closed and is neither passing or exhausting gas.
Solenoid Drawing
Pressure of air supply symbol
This symbol indicates the air supply port, in addition to this the letter P or the number 1 also indicated the air supply port.
