The document discusses fluid power symbols used in hydraulic and pneumatic diagrams. It describes common symbol groups like circles, rectangles, diamonds and their meanings. Circles generally represent devices that deliver or use fluid. Rectangles and squares direct and control fluid flow. Diamonds condition fluid through heating, cooling or filtering. Common symbols shown include pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, filters and other components. Valve symbols are classified by the number of ports and positions. Direction arrows indicate fluid flow.
