1. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this course is to enable a future instrument technician to understand the bases of instrumentation on a predominantly oil-producing industrial site. By the end of the course, in the field of instrumentation standards and symbols, the participant must: Be familiar with the various instrumentation symbols. Be familiar with the various instrumentation standards. Be able to recognise the various instruments on a diagram, and their functionalities.


Page 5 / 113


2. INTRODUCTION What is this diagram?


Page 6 / 113


You must be saying to yourself that it’s crazy to start this course with a diagram that is completely incomprehensible. This diagram, known as a “P&ID” (Piping & Instrumentation Diagram) is not out of place, as in your profession as an instrument technician you will have to use one practically every day. This is a “Standards and symbols” course, so why are we talking about diagrams? First of all, all the instrumentation and process diagrams that you will meet throughout your career are represented in schematic form according to standardised American standards. I do stress the term “standardised standards” since I have noticed on other, non-oil production, sites that P&IDs have been modified, with everyone adding their own “special touch”, making them incomprehensible. The Americans had the superb idea of drawing up standards for instrumentation and process diagrams, since they are international. A PID originating from any country can be understood without asking any questions. Finally, the most commonly used standards in the field of instrumentation are: Standard ANSI / ISA 5.1 Standard ANSI / ISA 5.3 Standard ANSI / ISA 5.4 PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) ATEX Standard


Page 7 / 113


3. STANDARD ANSI / ISA 5.1 and ANSI / ISA 5.3 Standard ISA 5.1 defines instrumentation identification and symbols. Standard ISA 5.3 defines all instrumentation graphic symbols.

3.1. LETTERS AND SYMBOLS 3.1.1. Extract from a PID As an example, we will take the extract from the PID that I outlined on the general PID.

Figure 1: Extract from general PID


Page 8 / 113


On this part I can see the following very interesting instruments:

What can you see? To begin with, we are going to focus on what is inside the bubble: To do so we need to decode the letters inside the bubbles; a maximum of 4 letters can be found in a bubble on an instrumentation diagram. We can see the meaning of the first letter below in the table “Table of letter meanings” and the combination with other letters in the table “Table of letter combinations”.

3.1.3. Letter combinations

Table 3: Table of letter combinations Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

Page 11 / 113


3.2. FUNCTIONS 3.2.1. Definition In the previous section, we identified the letters and letter combinations inside the “bubbles”. Now we are going to define what the various bubbles that can be found on diagrams represent. You can observe that in the table “Table of letter combinations”, a measuring instrument can perform more than one role: Controllers Readout devices Switches and alarm devices Transmitters

Figure 2: Extract from “table of letter combinations” For each different role, the ISA standard tells us that there are different bubbles with a variety of functions. We will see what this means below with some examples.


Page 12 / 113


3.2.2. Example

Figure 3: PID extract Now we will study the meaning of the different bubbles, as well as the triangles and squares. What is this?


Page 13 / 113


After letters inside bubbles, here are a variety of figures whose meaning varies according to the ISA standard. Looking at the table “local representation of functions”, we find the symbols with their meaning, and in the table “representation of functions connected to DCS”, we can also find the other bubbles from the example above:

Local Temperature Transmitter Pressure controller, with measurement indicator accessible to the operator on DCS screen Level process safety system, not accessible to operator (software)

Shutdown process safety system (triconex)

Table 4: Example of instrument functionality identification Summary: Letters: simply express the type of quantity measured (e.g.: pressure, flow, temperature, etc.). Combination of several letters: designate the functionalities of the measured quantity (e.g.: regulation, indication, safety thresholds, etc.). Figures (graphic symbols): These provide an automatic response to the question that we ask when looking at a PID (what do we do with the measurement?); we know with the various figures whether the measurement is locally displayed, retransmitted via a DCS control system or shutdown system (DCS), and whether or it is operator accessible. NB: Any measurement can also have thresholds associated with it. Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

Page 14 / 113


Examples: The letters H and L in this case mean that we have a High threshold and a Low threshold for the measurement, which enables an alarm for the DCS. In this example, we can see that it is a process interlock not accessible to the operator, with a very high level threshold (HH) and a very low level threshold (LL). In this case, the thresholds are sent to a Triconex shutdown system: which will shut down a pump, close valves, etc.

3.3. INSTRUMENTATION 3.3.1. Local instrument symbols

Local Instrument Instrument installed in control room or front panel of machinery room cabinet Instrument installed in rear of control room or in machinery room Instrument installed on local panel Instrument installed on rear of local panel

Console indicator

Jointly mounted instruments Electric tracing Table 5: Local instrument symbols These measurement instruments are only local. They are often used for measurement indication (e.g.: thermometer, pressure gauge, gauge glass, etc.), but we can also find local regulators (e.g.: pneumatic regulator), or local servo-controls (e.g.: relayed servocontrol, etc.).


Page 16 / 113


3.3.2. Remote instrument symbols

Operator accessible process control Process control not accessible to operator (software) Process safety system accessible to operator Process safety system not accessible to operator (software) Logic interlock

Safety interlock

Table 6: Remote instrument symbols The difference with local measurement instruments (seen in the previous chapter) is that all these instruments are wired to control systems (DCS) and safety systems (TRICONEX) via machinery rooms. This enables operators to have all the measurements, regulations, safety systems, etc. in the control room, so as to improve production efficiency When we talk about symbols that indicate “not accessible to operator”, it means that the quantities measured or safety systems are software programmed, without operator access.


Page 17 / 113


3.3.3. Symbols for various instrumentation sensors

Symbols of a Vortex flowmeter

Figure 4: Example of sensor symbols I have taken this example, which I thought was interesting: we can note that for flow measurement we have symbols that represent each flow measurement principle. Each flowmeter is represented by a symbol, as we have several operating principles to measure a flow (see “SENSORS AND TRANSMITTERS” course). NB: You can observe that the temperature probe has been simplified (total standard), as under the ISA standard we should have had the primary element to represent (TE + TT) (see table under ISA “letter combinations”).

3.3.4. Various calculation functions

Figure 5: Example of calculation functions In this example, we have the now-familiar symbols, but with a special feature. You can note that we have a symbol with a small square which is added above: This small square means there is a simple calculation with a measurement So in this example, we are taking two flow measurements (FT), and finding the difference (-) between the two flows.

3.3.6. Abbreviations on valves On instrumentation diagrams you will generally find abbreviations just below the valves, to indicate their safety position.

In this example, the valves are in FC (Fail Closed) position, i.e. they are closed in the event of a failure. Figure 6: Example of abbreviations on valves For all other cases that you might encounter in the oil world, see the table below.

3.4. CONNECTIONS 3.4.1. Example You will of course have observed that all the measurement instruments represented on the general PID are connected by a variety of lines. Of course, these various lines represented also have a meaning. For ease of comprehension, I have put 3 examples in the table below.

In this case we have a physical connection, The instrument is connected after the valve.

A continuous line with two small crosslines designates a pneumatic connection

Electronic connection

Area: This is a definition of the position of all the equipment, instruments and utilities that can be found in each well-defined factory part. A part corresponds to a number - in our example we are in part no.4 of a factory. As for the section numbers and sequence numbers, we need to go on the standard used for the construction of the factory. Note that in other countries, every factory has its own specific standards, which do not necessarily correspond to the TOTAL reference standards. Piping classes: Piping classes are determined according to the nature of the fluids (hazardous or nonhazardous, corrosive or non-corrosive, inflammable or non-inflammable, hot or cold, etc.), the calculation conditions (minimum or maximum service pressures and temperatures), as well as the cleanliness and purity conditions imposed by the process. The class identifier contains an identification letter for the series, followed by two index digits, indicating the sequence digit of the class in this series Example:

B 06 (N) B: series identification letter; in this example it means that is in series 150. See table below:

06: These two digits correspond to the piping material; in this example it means that we have a carbon steel pipe. Here is the list of the material corresponding to the series of the two digits: Digits

Correspondence

from 0 to 30

Carbon Steel (digit “X” 1 to “X” 6 indicates the corrosion tolerance for carbon steel, which varies from 1.27 to 6 mm

7. EUROPEAN STANDARDS 7.1. PED 7.1.1. Definition The "Pressure Equipment Directive" was adopted under reference 97/23/EC on 29 May 1997, and since 30 May 2002 has been obligatory for European Union member states. The harmonisation of Member States’ national legislations concerns the design, manufacture, testing and compliance evaluation, and aims to promote free circulation of merchandise in the European Economic Area. This directive applies to new equipment subjected to a maximum permissible pressure (PS) of over 0.5 bar (pressure regulators, safety valves, plugs, filters, pipes, assemblies, etc.)

7.1.2. Classification The requirements of the directive establish a graduation according to the risk level posed by the equipment. This classification depends on the equipment type (vessel, pipe, safety accessory), the fluid (liquid or gas), the fluid hazard level (group 1 or 2), the pressure and the volume (or ND for pipes).

Figure 9: PED categories (for equipment) Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

Page 55 / 113


According to these parameters, the equipment is classed in categories I to IV. In this case, the category of group 1 for gas accessories is determined as per the graph below: Similarly, the classification of group 1 for gas pipes corresponds to the graph below:

Figure 10: PED categories (for gas pipes)

7.1.3. Category I to IV equipment Category I to IV equipment must satisfy the essential safety requirements of the directive. The compliance with these requirements is evaluated under the procedures (or modules) according to the equipment category (13 possible procedures or "modules"). It is validated by a Notified Body for category II to IV equipment.

Figure 11: Example of marking on an instrument Aside: Similarly, when you buy a toy for your children, it too bears the CE mark. Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

Page 56 / 113


The marking on the equipment includes the symbol "CE" and, for pressure equipment posing a medium or high risk, the number of the body.

7.1.4. Conclusion I mention this directive so that you won’t be surprised if you see a European measurement instrument with the CE marking and category (I to IV).

7.2. ATEX STANDARD 7.2.1. Definition The European “Explosive ATmosphere” directive, known as ATEX, was adopted under reference 94/9/EC on 23 March 1994, and has been obligatory for European Union Member States since 1 July 2003. It is applicable to electrical and non-electrical devices intended for use in explosive atmospheres (explosive atmosphere due to the presence of (inflammable) gas or dust). This directive is applicable to: Protective devices and systems intended for use in explosive atmospheres. Safety, control and setting devices intended for use in nonexplosive atmospheres, but which are necessary for explosion safety measures.

Table 26: ATEX standard Group and Category Devices are classed in 2 groups, and each group is subdivided into several categories: Group I comprises devices intended for use in mines. It is divided into categories M1 and M2. Group II comprises devices intended for use on other sites liable to be endangered by explosive atmospheres. It is divided into categories 1, 2 and 3. The choice of category depends on the place (zone) where the product is to be used. (See figure “ATEX standard Group and Category”).


Page 58 / 113


7.2.3. Directive compliance The directive sets out essential health and safety requirements, ensuring a high level of protection. Compliance with these requirements is evaluated under procedures (or modules) according to the equipment category, and can be validated by a notified body.

7.2.3.1. Marking Here is the marking under directive 94/9/EC: Note 5 Note 3

Note 4 Note 2

Note 1

Note 3: The group (I or II), category (1, 2, 3, etc.) and type of risk (gas (G) or dust (D)) Note 4: The additional marking, according to the standards satisfied by the device (for example "EEx d IIC" as per EN 50-014). Note 5: The ATEX certificate number


Page 59 / 113


7.2.3.2. Validation Several standards are used to validate ATEX compliance, primarily standard EN 50-014, which sets out the "general rules" for the construction and testing of electrical equipment designed for use in explosive atmospheres, to ensure that this equipment cannot cause an explosion in the surrounding atmosphere. This standard provides the definitions of the atmospheres, mixtures and temperatures. It is supplemented by the following European standards, specific to each standardised means of protection. The most common for Natural Gas are: EN 50 018: flameproof enclosure "d". EN 50 019: increased safety "e". EN 50 020: intrinsic safety "i".

8. ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS Even if you do not understand all the terms and therefore their associations with symbols, don’t worry; here you will find a (more or less) complete list. You can come back to it later when you try to ‘decrypt’ them, or even draw up an electrical diagram.

8.1. CONTACTS Establishing contact (in electricity) means closing an electric circuit, establishing a bridge between two parts of a circuit in order to enable the electric current to flow.

8.1.1. Representation rules: Diagrams are drawn at zero voltage, and at ambient temperature and pressure. Action on the contacts is manifested by movement of the contact to the right (or upward movement). A contact is represented in its ‘rest’ position, i.e. with no voltage or action, with two possible positions: NO for Normally Open NC for Normally Closed

operating contact make contact NO contact

rest contact break contact NC contact

two-way contact without overlap

passing contact closing momentarily when its control element is engaged

passing contact closing momentarily when its control element is released

passing contact closing momentarily when its control element is engaged or released

Anticipated make contact (closes before the other contacts in the same assembly)

Anticipated break contact (opens before the other contacts in the same assembly)

two-way contact with middle opening position

Delayed make contact (opens after the other contacts in the same assembly)

Delayed break contact (opens after the other contacts in the same assembly)

Table 27: Types of contacts Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

Page 61 / 113


Passing contact: contact establishing or opening the circuit ‘fleetingly’ (also known as fleeting contact), i.e. for a short time. This ‘passing time’, depending on the manufactures, is generally not adjustable, and lasts a few tenths of a second. (In the “software” version, with automatic controllers, it is easier to set) Anticipated make / break contact: for a group of contacts, i.e. certain contacts in a make / break relay, this type of contact “reacts” quicker (at least, we can be sure that it acts before the others). Upon excitation of the relay coil, the contact acts immediately, before the others. May be used if we require locking in motor starting sequences. Delayed make / break contact: the contact opens or closes after the others, and after excitation of the relay coil controlling the group of contacts. Not to be confused with the time-lag contact, which we will look at below under control elements

8.1.2. Other representations The symbols above are for official representation of the ‘new’ international system. There are many other symbol systems, which may be old or even specific to certain manufacturers. You will inevitably encounter unknown or even bizarre symbols. Often a little common sense is required to recognise the functions of these symbols.

Figure 13: Other contact representation principles This representation above was commonly employed on ‘old’ French diagrams. Control elements were added along the same principle as described in the paragraph below. Figure 14: representation of automatic controller contacts “Internal contacts” (software) in automatic controllers will have the uniform representation, as opposite. But “external” contacts (hardware) connected to the input blocks (generally) have a ‘classic’ representation. See PLC / Automatic controller course.


Page 62 / 113


8.2. CONTROL ELEMENTS To contacts in isolation, we can now add the “principle” for controlling this contact. The added symbol is (theoretically) a logical schematic representation of the control action. operating contact with closing delay (on) = NO ‘on’ delay

operating contact with opening delay (off) = NO ‘off’ delay

operating contact with opening and closing delay = NO ‘on & off’ delay

rest contact with opening delay (on) = NC ‘on’ delay

rest contact with closing delay (off) = NC ‘off’ delay

rest contact with opening and closing delay = NC ‘on & off’ delay

Table 28: Contact control elements NB: all the contacts represented in the table above (except the time-lags at the start and the emergency shutdowns) are ‘NO’. The same of course applies to ‘NC’ contacts, with the control element associated with a contact closed in the rest position. And while a contact in isolation is something ‘subjective’, a contact with its control element is something very concrete, that we can realise, name and represent in diagrams.

NB, a switch may serve as an isolator, but an isolator can never be a switch - switch = cutout (isolation…) capability - isolator = 0 (zero) capability An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) can also be represented in this form Figure 15: “classic” symbol for RCCB

** Circuit breakers (residual or not) are automatic cut-out switches. They both (breakers and switches) have a cut-out capability, but breakers are additionally equipped with an “automatic” thermal and/or magnetic trigger system.

Note the diagram on the front panel of the devices, which is offered by nearly all manufacturers.

8.2.2. Separation devices Certain protection devices can also have a separation (control / cut-out) function, e.g. remote control breaker. Below are the symbols for electrically controlled cut-out devices, relays (in principle on control circuits) and contactors (power circuits) in isolation.

A contactor can be two-, three- or four-pole (or even six-pole); its symbol (representation) is always the same, whether it is 10 Amps or 2000 Amps Polarised relay for printed circuit with changeover contact (double contact) for use in communication and data technology, medical technology, regulation and setting in machine regulation. Figure 23: Example of time-lag relay When we think of a relay, we imagine a small contactor, which is not wrong … Relays are for control circuits, non-power, low-current circuits. Relays always actuate at least 1 (one) contact, up to ‘x’ contacts. Relays on “lamp test” circuits have a number of NO contacts. ‘Auxiliary’ or ‘additional’ contacts can be of the following types: NO, NC, time-lag, passing, etc. NB: do not confuse the particularity of a contact with the particularity of the relay (coil): as in the figure below the delay is on the contact itself, not on the relay Below some examples of auxiliary contacts to be mounted on a relay or contactor

8.8. NAMING STANDARDS 8.8.1. Markings – general points This relates to the marking letters on electrical equipment, with the marking as per standard DIN EN 61346-2:2000-12 (IEC 61346-2:2000). There are a number of normalisations / symbol systems that we should try to “standardise” on ‘our’ diagrams. With the standard mentioned above, unlike the markings previously used, the marking letters are now predominantly determined by the function of the electrical equipment in the diagram. This creates a certain freedom in the choice of letter allocated to the equipment. Example for a resistor: Normal current limiter: R Heating resistor: E Measurement resistor: B We may for example adopt certain specific rules that partially deviate from the standard. Names of connection terminals cannot be read from the right. The second letter, used for identifying the electrical equipment’s purpose, is not indicated, e.g.: time lag relay K1T becomes K1. Breakers with a primarily protective protection continue to be marked Q. They are numbered continuously from 1 to 10, starting with the top-left one. Contactors are presently marked with a Q and numbered continuously from 11 to nn, e.g.: K91M becomes Q21. Auxiliary contactors remain as K, and are numbered continuously from 1 to n. The marking appears in an appropriate location in the immediate vicinity of the symbol. It determines the relationship between the equipment in the installation and the various file documents (circuit diagrams, parts lists, functional connection diagrams, instructions). For ease of maintenance, the marking can also be applied in part or in full on the equipment or in the vicinity. Correspondences between old and new marking letters in general use, for a selection of equipment, are represented below, along with an example of schematic representation. The new letters have already been in use for some time on ‘our’ diagrams. Training Manual EXP-MN-SI010-EN Last updated: 24/03/2008

8.8.3. North American Standards Marking of devices in the United States and Canada as per NEMA ICS 1-2001, ICS 1.11984, ICS 1.3-1986 Many diagrams are of American origin, and in the oil industry, references for instrumentation and P&IDs are also of the same origin. So it is worthwhile knowing the US symbols and their meanings. To distinguish devices with analogous functions, we can add three digits or letters to the marker letters in the table below. If we use two or more marker letters, it is useful to indicate the function identification letter first. Example: The auxiliary contactor triggering the first jog function is marked by “1 JCR”. The meaning of the marking is as follows: 1 = sequence number J = Jog – equipment function CR = Control relay (auxiliary contactor) – equipment type Marking A AM B C or CAP CB CR CT DM D DS or DISC

9. PNEUMATIC SYMBOLS We often use the term electro-pneumatic to mean an association between electrical and pneumatic systems. Although on-site it is often the instrument technician who handles pneumatic systems, electricians must be able to lend a hand, and at least interpret electro-pneumatic symbols and diagrams. In maintenance, with the mechanic, instrument technician and electrician working together in this field (pneumatics), it is hard to define the borders between the specificities of each trade. It is not smart to say “it’s not my problem” when confronted with an interface, an electric + pneumatic (or hydraulic) assembly. On-site, we count on everyone, particularly the electrician, to be able to do any job: so you need to learn the pneumatic symbols (and the hydraulic symbols in the following chapter). You will also need them for P&IDs (which you also need to be able to read).

9.2. TYPES OF SYMBOL IN PNEUMATICS Two main types of symbol are used in diagrams - basic symbols and composite symbols. (See figure below.) They are easily distinguished. The basic symbol originates from the tables of symbols (tables above). Composite symbols are put together by attaching some of these symbols, to form a single one, known as a composite symbol. Composite symbols represent several elementary components that work together to execute a function, as represented on the figure below.

Figure 25: Composite symbol made from elementary symbols This figure has four different basic symbols, each representing part of a manually actuated relay. The symbol for orifice in closed position, the symbol for orifice in open position, the symbol for return spring and the symbol for manual control lever. These are combined in a single composite symbol for the manually-actuated relay represented at the top of the figure. Composite symbols are frequently used in pneumatic and hydraulic system diagrams. A number of design & engineering office diagrams/plans contain an area in a corner or a list on one of the sheets representing a key. A key represents the meaning of the symbols. The symbols used in this diagram are represented in the key as a reminder of the meaning. This approach is very useful when the operator uses slightly different symbols; symbols generally differ very little.

9.3. IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROL ELEMENTS Don’t forget that this training course is aimed at oil production site operators and technicians. The study of diagrams needs to be based on an approach you use for operating, controlling and trouble-shooting systems and processes You need to be able not only to start and stop a pneumatic system, but also know all the operating procedures of a system. You need to know how a system works when running correctly. You also need to know what happens when the system is not running smoothly, so that you can be alerted and perform the trouble-shooting and/or repair operations. These elements can be learned by working on particular pneumatic and hydraulic systems on-site. This course will teach you the bases of pneumatic / hydraulic systems and how they work. On your site, you need to make an effort to collect all the diagrams and go to the unit to see how it works.

Figure 26: Example of pneumatic slide (distributor) operation


Page 96 / 113


9.4. RELAY/VALVE SYMBOL CREATION One of the best ways to learn the meaning of pneumatic (or hydraulic as the same applies) relay/valve symbols is to draw them. If you want to represent a relay with a diagram symbol, you can draw the whole diagram yourself. Start with a blank symbol for a relay, and then add the positions of the elements of this relay. Then add the operating mechanism. Finish the diagram by grouping together all the parts in a single symbol (see example above). Start with a blank symbol for a relay or valve. Add the orifices (ports) to the symbol, even if the valve/relay itself has three orifices on top. The symbol always has 2 ports at the top and 2 ports at the bottom.

Indicate the direction of flow for all relay positions.

Add the operating mechanism to the symbol. This relay is actuated manually with a spring return to closed position.

Group together all the elements in a single symbol.

Figure 27: Creating a relay symbol (pneumatic or hydraulic) You have developed a symbol for a 4/3 relay (4 ports, 3 positions) The common symbols for types of cylinder are represented in the diagrams below.

10. HYDRAULIC SYMBOLS We have already looked at a number of principles with the symbols for pneumatic systems. This part deals with the complements specific to hydraulic installations. Symbols were developed for hydraulic fluid driven systems by the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO). As with pneumatic symbols, as a site technician, you need to know these symbols. The most common symbols are illustrated in this chapter. Keep these documents for subsequent use. As you may know, several symbols used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems are identical or near-identical. The differences are set out here, but at the same time look back at the symbols from the preceding paragraphs: in fact pneumatic and hydraulic diagrams are read in the same way. By the end of this chapter, interpretation of the following diagrams should no longer hold any secrets for you. Figure 31: Typical hydraulic diagram This paragraph also introduces symbols for a number of hydraulic devices. Operators and technicians need to be able to identify representations in isolation, but also work with a set of symbols on a system’s diagram. A hydraulic system may contain a single energy generation source and a single instrument using this energy, but a system may contain multiple instruments. To understand a (relatively substantial) hydraulic circuit diagram, it is important to consider portions of the diagram, and determine the energy flows in this section. Once these different circuit sections (or portions) are understood, the diagram as a whole (overview) will be easier to follow.

10.1. FLUID LINES A hydraulic symbol consists of hydraulic devices interconnected by pipes or tubes. The “pipes” and “tubes” are sometimes called working conductors or lines, but most commonly fluid lines. For simplicity’s sake we shall call them “lines”. Working lines form the main fluid lines in hydraulic systems. They are represented by solid lines in diagrams. Pilot lines are usually much smaller than working lines. They generally withstand the same pressure as working lines. A pilot line transmits a fluid under pressure to an internal device. When the internal pilot device is working, it enables the main device to work. Pilot lines are represented by broken lines. Vent or purge lines are generally small. They can only withstand low pressures. They are represented by broken lines, but the dashes are shorter than those of a pilot line.

Working line

Purge line

Line crossover

Line joint

10.2. RESTRICTORS In hydraulic symbols, we use restrictors for: Directing energy flow Controlling energy flow Measuring energy flow

Fixed restrictor

Diaphragm (orifice plate)

Diaphragm with impulse lines

Pitot tube

Nozzle

Table 48: Restriction device symbols in hydraulics

10.3. QUICK-RELEASE CONNECTIONS A number of hydraulic lines need to be frequently connected and disconnected. An example is the hydraulic brake line between tractor and trailer. A quick-release connector is used on each line section. These connectors have mechanical locks that can be easily engaged and released. A hose is used with this system.

Page 101 / 113


10.4. HYDRAULIC PUMPS The basic symbol for a pump is a circle. The lines outside the circle are not part of the symbol; these are the connection lines. Dark triangles indicate the direction of energy flow. In hydraulic systems, fluid flow is not as important as energy flow. Energy flows when the compression pressure is transmitted in the system.

Shaft turns one way

Shaft turns both ways

Fixed displacement pump. Energy circulates one way

Fixed displacement pump. Energy circulates both ways

Variable displacement pump. Energy circulates one way

Variable displacement pump. Energy circulates both ways

Table 50: Hydraulic pump symbols


Page 102 / 113


10.5. HYDRAULIC MOTORS The basic circle used for pumps is also used for rotary hydraulic motors. Again, dark triangles indicate the direction of energy flow. The triangles are on the opposite side of the circle, unlike with pumps. The energy flow is away from the pump, towards the motor.

Fixed displacement motor. Energy circulates one way

Fixed displacement motor. Energy circulates both ways

Variable displacement motor. Energy circulates one way

Variable displacement motor. Energy circulates both ways

Motor flow one way and pump flow the other way

Motor or pump flow same way

Shaft turns one way

Shaft turns both ways

Limited rotation motor

Page 103 / 113


10.6. CYLINDERS A cylinder and piston can sometimes be used as a linear action motor. It receives energy to drive the piston rod in a straight line to do work. An energy generation source may also be involved if the piston rod is driven by external mechanical means. The piston determines the pressure on the fluid inside the cylinder. This pressure is transmitted as energy inside the system. Single-action cylinder

Double-action one-rod cylinder

Double-action tworod cylinder

Single-action cylinder with one-way pressure and return spring. Could be referred to as ‘double-action’: 1st fluid and 2nd spring

Cylinder with adjustable attenuator

Single-action telescoping (or telescopic system)

Double-action telescoping

Pressure intensifier

Air / oil pressure transformer

Page 104 / 113


10.7. HYDRAULIC (DISTRIBUTION) RELAYS The basic symbol for a hydraulic relay is a rectangle known as a relay (or valve) envelope. The envelope is the relay body. The lines inside the envelope indicate the direction of energy flow from inlets to outlets. Ports are what we call the inlet and outlet orifices. In a diagram, relays are always represented as they are found on the shelf: i.e. in the position in which they are found before installation, as if they were free-standing on a shelf. The reason for this is that they can be represented as they are before use. In this way you can clearly see what happens when the power is applied to the relay in the form of electricity, pneumatic pressure, hydraulic pressure or a mechanical force. If the relay is equipped with springs, they will not be compressed, so that anything connected to a spring will be in the position it is in when the spring is not compressed: which means that relays are represented in their initial or rest position. A relay in a system is represented with internal channels connected as in the shelf position.

Normally closed ports

Normally open ports Reminder: the left-hand side (area or symbol) is the “no supply” position for a 2-position relay, and the middle area is the “no supply” position for a 3-position relay

Table 53: Hydraulic relay symbols


Page 105 / 113


10.8. SERVO-MOTORS A control device such as a servo-motor is a device that puts a valve in a determined position. Actuators or servo-motors may be electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, motorised, spring-operated or manual. Sometimes a combination of different actuator types is used on a valve.

10.9. SAFETY VALVE (PSV) All pressurised systems have a means of preventing overpressure. A safety valve (PSV) is used to correct these overpressure states. In pneumatic systems, the gas is generally vented to the atmosphere. In hydraulic systems, the liquid is evacuated into a storage vessel, or returns to the tank

Pressure safety valve (PSV)

Safety valve (external control)

Table 55: Safety valve symbols in hydraulics

10.10. FLOW REGULATOR VALVES Hydraulic systems use different types of valve to condition flow. Lock valves are used to control the direction of flow or start/stop. Regulation valves allow a specified quantity of fluid to pass. Regulators control the hydraulic fluid pressure. Manual isolation valve

Pressure controlled isolation valve

Non-return valve

Fixed flow adjustment valve

Variable flow adjustment valve

Pilot control pressure regulator

Page 107 / 113


10.11. TANKS There are three types of thanks used in hydraulic systems, namely: Open-air tanks Pressurised vessels Non-pressurised vessels The purge lines in hydraulic systems generally flow into tanks in contact with the atmosphere. An example of a pressurised vessel is its use with actuators (servo-motors) on process valves. Safety valves (PSV) may be used for evacuation in a non-pressurised vessel.
