Symbols show the methods of actuation the number of positions the flow paths and the number of ports.
Pneumatic control valve symbol.
Pneumatic circuit symbols representing these valves provide detailed information about the valve they represent.
Pneumatic valves description flow control.
Pneumatic circuit symbols explained.
A close study of most air logic control circuits will reveal that there are only six basic valve functions commonly used.
In the pneumatic valve return air is vented from port r.
An engineer may also include specific details below the control valve symbol.
These six basic valve symbols when combined with the basic actuator symbols comprise virtually all the directional valve symbols needed for air logic control.
In both the load is connected to ports labeled a b and the pressure supply from pump or compressor to port p.
Most control valves however have four ports shown in hydraulic and pneumatic forms in figure 4 1.
Symbols identification and other circuit symbols.
The symbol depicts a non return or check valve which restricts the air supply so that it air is restricted in one direction and free flowing in the other direction.
Directional air control valves are the building blocks of pneumatic control.

Bidirectional flow control bidirectional control valve symbols are the same as unidirectional but without the check valve indicating that the air is restricted in either direction.
The symbols for these valve functions are shown in left graphic.
In the hydraulic valve fluid is returned to the tank from port t.
