When
you are making drawings or representing a particular valve of piece of
instrument, you cannot draw them every time. For making our life easy we have
symbols for representing them, just see it below.

Symbols for Valves
Pressure
Reducing Valve
Applications:
They are mostly used where we have a demand of reduced pressure. Like for
instance if we want to reduce 30 bar pressure of air to 7 bar, then they come
in use.

Safety
Valve
Applications:
As name suggest, wherever we want to secure our system (Generally the
pressurized one), we use them. Like boiler, compressors etc.

Self
Closing Valve
Application:
Generally they are used as drain valves. They are opened against the spring
tension, which puts them back to the normal position (Mostly closes), after
extern force is taken out. Example: Settling Tank drain valve etc.

Butter
Fly Valve
Application:
Places where we need quick closing and opening, we need this type of device. Outlet
valves form sewage tank, control air, or bypass valves.

Gate
Valve
Screw
Down Non Return Valve (SDNR)
Globe
or Gate valves can be made Non return type. Non return types of valves find
there uses in place where we don’t want flow to come back like overboard valve,
blow down etc.

Duplex
Oil Strainer
Applications:
Duplex Oil Strainer has two messes, one fore the big particles and other open
for small. They are mostly used for Lube oil and Heavy Oil filtration.

Sight
Glass
Uses:
Sight Glass is a transparent screen that used for looking in to the system,
which is normally used or the purpose is to detect traces of water or oil. Like
Cascade tank or settling tank overflow line.

3 Way
Cock
Uses:
Generally used where we want to divert flow either way. Like changeover of
Duplex Filter etc. Position are L, T and opposite L.
