Fluid circuit diagrams are made by hydraulic symbols of components like cylinders, motors, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, filters, etc. connecting each other by means of pipelines, hydraulic manifolds or rigid tubes.
The organization ISO (International Standards Organization) by means of standard ISO 1219-1:2012 has defined the hydraulic symbols with the aim of a hydraulic circuit diagram can be understood by any technician with knowledge about hydraulics.
Below you will see some of the most common hydraulic schematic symbols used in a hydraulic circuit. Here you can also download hydraulic symbols in pdf or image that you may need:
