What does the isosceles trapezoid symbol represent on the process flow diagram? This symbol is often seen on the liquid ammonia output pipelines
Reducer, also known as elbow
Reducer, also known as elbow
Concentric reducers, also known as tees, are the parts where the diameter of a pipe changes; other pipes are labeled in the same way
Concentric reducers, also known as tees.
A right trapezoid represents eccentric reducers, while an isosceles trapezoid represents concentric reducers.
Isosceles trapezoids feature concentric diameter changes, while non-isosceles trapezoids, usually right trapezoids, have eccentric diameter changes; everyone is welcome to share different opinions
It seems everyone is wrong; it should be an ammonia compressor.
It doesn’t seem right. I checked the actual device today; it’s located in the piping of the synthetic cycle machine. There’s a cylindrical device on the pipeline for adding liquid ammonia – is that a filter?
