REVIEW AND SUMMARY

Graphic fluid power symbols, similar to symbols used in electrical circuit diagrams, are widely used both for preparing hydraulic and pneumatic circuit diagrams and as an aid in circuit design and analysis.

The fluid power symbols illustrate flow paths, connections, and component functions. 

In this chapter, the various fluid power symbols used in fluid power circuits have been presented under the following headings :

1. Pumps and motors;

2. Cylinders;

3. Directional control valves; 

4. Pressure valves;

5. Flow control valves;

6. Non-return valves; 

7. Operation/actuation modes; 

8. Energy transmission; 

9. Measuring devices; 

10. Couplings, and

11. Combination of devices.
