Pneumatic Symbols explained

At Pneumatics & Sensors Ireland, we find that clients are sometimes unsure of the meaning of Pneumatic Symbols on some of their machinery.

This can slow us down in actually identifying the process in question and the relevant components. We often advise such clients to simply take a photograph of the symbol or symbols in question and sent it to us, but it is advantageous too if clients can themselves identify the symbol at first reference.

To help you do this, we present this guide to identifying pneumatic symbols, which is brought to you in association with our partners Norgen. Simply click on thumbnail images below to see them in full.
