Industrial Valve and Actuator Symbols

This post shows industrial valve and actuator symbols found in different types of technical
diagrams used to document instrument systems. Valve symbols typically describe the position, number of ports, and flow control method of particular valves. Actuator symbols generally describe the motive force and control options.

Valve Symbols (generic valve, globe valve, butterfly valve, diaphragm valve, gate valve, ball valve, characterized ball valve, plug valve, pneumatic pinch valve, angle valve, 3-way valve, generic check valve, pressure regulator, ball check valve, safety relief valve.)
