ASME Y32.10-1967 pdf - Graphic Symbols for Fluid Power Diagrams.
Fluid power systems are systems designed to transmit and regulate power by means of a pressurized fluid, whether it be a liquid or a gas, within a confined circuit. In the preparation of circuit diagrams for fluid power systems, various types of symbols are commonly employed, including Pictorial, Cutaway, and Graphic symbols. These symbols are thoroughly explained in the United States Standard Drafting Manual (Ret. 2).
Pictorial symbols are particularly beneficial for illustrating the interconnections between components. However, they are challenging to standardize based on their functional characteristics.
Cutaway symbols focus on the construction details of the system. Drawing these symbols is intricate and their functions are not immediately obvious.
