Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 14617 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 14617-8 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 10, Technical product documentation, Subcommittee
SC 10, Process plant documentation and tpd-symbols.

Introduction
The purpose of ISO 14617 in its final form is the creation of a library of harmonized graphical symbols for diagrams
used in technical applications. This work has been, and will be, performed in close cooperation between ISO and
IEC. The ultimate result is intended to be published as a standard common to ISO and IEC, which their technical
committees responsible for specific application fields can use in preparing International Standards and manuals.

Graphical symbols for diagrams —

Part 8:
Valves and dampers

1 Scope
This part of ISO 14617 specifies graphical symbols for valves and dampers in diagrams, including symbols for
general-purpose valves, those used in fluid power systems and hygienic valves used in the food and
pharmaceutical industries.

For the fundamental rules of creation and application of graphical symbols in diagrams, see ISO 81714-1.

For an overview of ISO 14617, information on the creation and use of registration numbers for identifying graphical
symbols used in diagrams, rules for the presentation and application of these symbols, and examples of their use
and application, see ISO 14617-1.

2 Normative references
(standards.iteh.ai)
The following normative documents contain provisions ISO 14617-8:2002
which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/99257ea5-e2d1-4f0c-ada9-
this part of ISO 14617. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications
do not apply. However, parties to agreements d38c021553d7/iso-14617-8-2002
based on this part of ISO 14617 are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated
references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this part of ISO 14617, the following terms and definitions apply.

NOTE The list has been restricted to terms whose meaning is not obvious and which have not been defined elsewhere in
an International Standard, or which have been defined in various ways in different standards. In preparing these definitions, ISO
and IEC standards on terminology have been consulted; see the references in parentheses. However, most of the definitions in
those standards were prepared by different technical committees within a restricted scope. This means that many terms so
defined have to be given more general or neutral definitions when applied in the context of graphical symbols.

3.1
safety valve
valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the fluid concerned, discharges a
certified quantity of the fluid so as to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and which is
designed to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal pressure conditions of service have been
restored

[ISO 4126-1]

3.2
vacuum valve
valve which automatically and without the assistance of any energy other than that of the gas concerned, admits
gas to a pipeline or tank in order to prevent a predetermined safe underpressure being exceeded

3.3
control valve
power-operated valve in an industrial-process control system for changing the flow rate of the process fluid

[IEC 60050-351]

3.4
restrictor
device which restricts the flow of a fluid thereby creating a pressure drop

[ISO 5598]

3.5
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
restrictor valve (standards.iteh.ai)
valve in which the inlet and outlet ports are interconnected through a restricted passageway

NOTE In a fixed restrictor valve, the cross-sectional area cannot be altered; in an adjustable restrictor valve, the cross-
sectional area can be adjusted. https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/99257ea5-e2d1-4f0c-ada9-

pressure-reducing valve
pressure regulator
valve in which, with varying inlet pressure or outlet flow, the outlet pressure remains substantially constant, but in
which the inlet pressure remains higher than the selected outlet pressure

3.8
pressure-relief valve
valve which limits maximum pressure by exhausting fluid when the required pressure is reached

3.9
