When drawing process flows, how should the simplified representation of the shell and tube sides of a heat exchanger be created?

When drawing process flows, how should the simplified representation of the shell and tube sides of a heat exchanger be created? Which of Figure 12 and Figure 12 can represent the tube side through which the medium flows? Is there any authoritative evidence for this?
A circle, with a line running through it and making a few turns before being removed. The line is the tube side, and the circle is the shell side
Figure 1 shows that the path of the medium and that of the tube side are the same
Where have I seen the drawing method in Figure 1? There are established conventions for how to draw diagrams; one cannot draw them however one wishes
It is understood by all that the parallel lines in the heat exchanger represent the tube sheet. Therefore, Figure 1 represents the shell side, and Figure 2 represents the tube side.
It is clearly specified in the SHT 3101-2000 Diagram Legend for Oil Refining Plants
Thank you, so there’s such a standard after all! Found it on the forum; I’ll learn a bit about it.
That’s correct; this is the way to draw a PFD. It’s better to draw a PID in more detail, taking into account the selection and structure of the equipment.
