Technical drawings - Simplified representation of pipelines - Part 1: General Rules and orthogonal representation
This document specifies rules and conventions for the execution of simplified drawings for the representation of all kinds of pipes and pipelines made of all sorts of materials (rigid and flexible).
It is used whenever it is necessary to represent pipes or pipelines in a simplified manner.
For the purposes of this document, the figures illustrate the text only and should not be considered as design examples.
NOTE This document can also be used for the representation of similar installations, such as ventilation or air-conditioning systems; in such cases, the term “duct”, etc. is substituted for the term “pipe”.

About This Item
TS EN ISO 6412-1 sets out the general rules and orthogonal representation used for simplified technical drawings of pipelines. It provides a common graphic approach for showing pipes, lines and related installations in a clear, consistent way when full-detail drafting is unnecessary.
Why simplified pipeline representation matters
In technical drawing, a pipe route does not always need to be shown with every geometric detail. Simplified representation helps communicate layout, routing and connection logic more efficiently, especially in arrangement drawings, plant layouts and installation documentation. This standard defines the conventions for that kind of depiction, and the figures included are intended to illustrate the text rather than serve as design examples.
What the standard covers
The document applies to pipes and pipelines of all kinds, made from any material, including rigid and flexible systems. It also notes that the same graphical approach may be used for similar installations such as ventilation or air-conditioning ductwork, with the term being adapted to the system in question. In general technical context, that means the drawing rules are not limited to fluid-carrying pipework alone; they can also support comparable routed services where simplified visual communication is needed.
- Includes rules for orthogonal representation.
- Supports consistent simplified drafting practice.
- Applies to pipes made of rigid or flexible materials.
- Can be adapted to similar duct-based installations.
