Piping systems
Standards on graphic symbols

(Please note: This publication is only available in German.)

From drinking water installations to heating systems or chemical process plants through to drainage systems: Piping systems are used for many applications. Binding standards and clear specifications help to ensure security and consistently high quality as well as uncomplicated communication and contract design. This also applies to the graphic symbols to be used in plans, illustrations and diagrams of pipelines. The documents collected in this book are part of the diverse standards landscape that deals with this area. From the construction plan to the documentation, the included standards provide reliable orientation for uniform symbolism.

The 18 standards on almost 600 pages deal with the following topics:

• Basic design rules for graphical symbols
• Marking and representation of pipelines
• Graphical symbols for apparatus, fittings, machines, pipework and actuators
• Graphical symbols and identifying letters for process control engineering
• Process engineering flow diagrams

The 9th edition of the proven compendium of standards contains new and revised documents.
 

Established set of standards for graphical symbols in piping systems

The marking and symbology of piping systems has many fields of application: Graphical symbols and pictograms are used in control engineering, flow diagrams, industrial schematics and technical product documentation. Standardization in this area is correspondingly diverse. The tried and tested DIN Handbook 170 brings together all these documents in one compact volume. The 9th edition is once again a compendium of standards for specialist symbology that represents the current state of technology and standardization. This 9th edition includes:

• A new document
  DIN EN ISO 128-2 is the first important standard for lines and basic conventions in technical product documentation.
   
• Revised documents
  New safety classes have been introduced in DIN 2405 for the marking of pipes in refrigeration systems and cooling equipment and the flammable liquids have been revised. DIN 28401 on graphical symbols in vacuum technology now includes new figures and graphical symbols.

This comprehensive collection of documents provides you with a wealth of knowledge on standardized marking and symbol representation in the piping sector, covering most applications.
