Pneumatic symbols conform to and are devised

St d d ISO 1219

This covers graphical symbols for Fluid Power
Systems and Components
Port markings for fluid power valves are not

CETOP
z

Who is CETOP? CETOP is the abbreviation of Comit Europen des

Transmissions Olohydrauliques
y
q
et Pneumatiques.
q
CETOP is the
European Fluid Power Committee.
Thus, it is:
The communication platform for fluid power in Europe.
The international umbrella organisation for national fluid power
associations in Europe.
Through the 18 national associations which are member of CETOP, all
well known companies in Europe belong to the European Committee.
Many of these companies are leading fluid power manufacturers and
major players in the international markets.
CETOP represents more than 1,000 companies - mainly manufacturers,
but also some dealers - with almost 70,000 employees and a market value
of abo
aboutt 13 billion EURO.
EURO These account
acco nt for a very
er high proportion of
companies active in these fields - 80-90% in most countries.

Pressure regulators
z

A pressure regulator symbol represents a normal state with

the spring holding the regulator valve open to connect the
supply to the outlet.
The dotted line represents the feedback, this opposes the
spring and can vary the flow through the valve from full
flow, through shut off, to exhaust. The symbol is usually
drawn in only this one state. The flow path can be imagined
to hinge
g at the right
g hand end to first shut off the supply
pp y
then connect to the exhaust.

Pressure relief valves

z

A pressure relief valve symbol represents a normal state

with the spring holding the valve closed
closed.

The dotted line represents feed-forward, this opposes the

spring and can be imagined to lift the flow path
path. When the
pressure reaches an excess value the flow path will line up
with the ports and flow air to relief.

z

The function of a valve is given by a pair of

numerals
l separated
t d by
b a stroke,
t k e.g. 3/2..
3/2
The first numeral indicates the number of main
ports. These are inlets, outlets and exhausts but
excludes signal ports and external pilot feeds.
The second numeral indicates the number of
states
t t the
th valve
l can achieve.
