BlackBox Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Is this a homework question? Using a very small amount of logic here, a one line diagram shows only a little detail, whereas plan, profile, section, and/or an actual detail sheet shows, well, more detail. If I were a betting man, I'd say the symbol on the right is more generic, and thus should be used for a one line diagram. In most one line diagrams I've worked with, the diagram doesn't represent the pipe sizes being used, but the individual pipe segment labels often specify the size for you, hence the resultant diagram.

ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It may also depend on the type of pump. Examples: centrifugal, air diaphragm, vacuum, gear or screw pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH This is the real world question, I am creating one line diagram from what i saw on the field. i was going to use the pump on the right side too, but just want to make sure if the one on the left represent the same meaning, on google search it was called: "Centrifugal" not sure what that mean?. I want to show pumps with pipe line size call out and some valves. The pump has outlet and inlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Use a symbol that looks like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If it's schematic then a box would even suffice as long as it's tagged/labeled properly. There's not real right or wrong way as long as some type of symbol is used that can then be referenced to the pump information in a schedule. ReMark's schematic pump is the most common and considered the industry standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]48302[/ATTACH] Need symbol to represent this type of pump? Use one similar to that which I posted an image of previously. Don't forget to show a motor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Left to right: Centrifugal, gear and air diaphragm pumps. The first two also have include a symbol for a motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
