How To Read Pneumatic Schematic Symbols

The document discusses how to read pneumatic schematic symbols. It explains common symbols used in pneumatic schematics such as blocks to represent valve functions, actuators like levers or solenoids, arrows to show gas flow direction, exhaust ports, return springs, and symbols for closed ports and air supply.

How to Read Pneumatic Schematic Symbols....

The block  
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 or positions.
        The Actuator
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)
A is pressurized and B is exhausted
B is pressurized and A is exhausted.
       The arrows
The Arrow symbols illustrate the direction of gasses flowing into and out of the
valve ports. Gas is 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.
        Exhaust Port 
The inverted triangle symbol denotes an exhaust port. The letters EA indicate this is
the exhaust port for the A circuit. Ebin turn indicates the exhaust port for the B
circuit.  
       The Return spring
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
This symbol indicates that a port is closed and is neither passing or exhausting gas.
        Pressure or Air supply symbol
This symbol indicates the air supply port. In addition to this symbol the letter P or
the number 1 also indicates the air supply port.
