TS ISO 14617-10

TS ISO 14617-10 defines graphical symbols used in diagrams for fluid power converters, including units such as pumps and motors that convert energy between fluid power and mechanical motion. In practical terms, it supports the clear schematic representation of components that either generate fluid power or convert it into mechanical output, helping readers identify the function of an item in a hydraulic or pneumatic system at a glance.

Why the converter distinction matters in diagrams

In general technical use, fluid power converters sit at a key interface in the energy chain. Pumps typically add energy to a fluid to create flow and pressure, while motors use that fluid energy to produce rotary mechanical motion. Showing these functions unambiguously in diagrams is important for design communication, maintenance, and system analysis. This part of ISO 14617 provides the graphical symbols for that class of equipment; pumps used mainly for transportation are treated separately in ISO 14617-9.

Read together with the framework standards

This part is not the complete set of rules for graphical symbol design. ISO 14617-1 gives the overview of the series, including registration numbers and guidance on the use and application of symbols, while ISO 81714-1 sets out the fundamental rules for creating and applying graphical symbols in diagrams. TS ISO 14617-10 therefore supplies a defined symbol subset within a broader diagram language for fluid power engineering.

• Provides graphical symbols for fluid power converters in diagrams.
• Covers schematic representation of units such as pumps and motors.
• Supports technical drawings for hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
• Refers transportation-oriented pumps to ISO 14617-9.
• Relies on ISO 81714-1 and ISO 14617-1 for general symbol rules and series guidance.
