What equipment do the various letter symbols in the process flow diagram represent?

2009-11-08View Original

Thread Content

In process flow diagrams, one only knows the types of equipment corresponding to some simple letters, such as reactor – R, heat exchanger – E. I’ve looked at a few flow diagrams and was asked to count the number of each type of equipment; there are indeed some letters whose corresponding equipment types I am not aware of. I would appreciate some guidance from those who know more. There are RA, RAM, DR, D, PM, FX, FV, W, X, SA, TK, A. Please tell me, the experts in the group, what devices these represent

Pump P; Fan C ; Tower T ; Tank V ; For details, see the instructions on the first page of the flowchart. The device has a list.

3# Traveling Through the Spring and Autumn Period: The problem is that I don’t have any instructions on the homepage of the itinerary, nor is there a list of the devices used

I have a \"Graphic Symbols for Technical Drawing\" here, which I hope will be of some help to you. Download the attachment and study it at your own pace. It’s also difficult to cover everything mentioned in your question at once. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-564329-1-1.html

This depends on the device’s design specifications; different design institutes use slightly different letters to represent things

The best approach is to read carefully the legends in the design specifications; the symbols used in most legends are consistent, but different design institutes have varying conventions. The third floor mentioned that V is used for tanks – indeed, we use V for hydrogen production units, but D is used for coking units.

Indeed, the regulations vary slightly from one department to another; for example, some departments use T, while most of our departments use C. Moreover, it’s necessary to follow the unified rules set by each department
