Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying two unspecified symbols from a process diagram. Participants seek clarification on the symbols' meanings and their context within various disciplines, such as electrical or mechanical engineering.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests clarification on the symbols and the context in which they are used, suggesting that the discipline is crucial for accurate identification.
  • Another participant identifies the symbols as instrument symbols but does not elaborate further.
  • Concerns are raised about the ambiguity of the circle symbol, which could represent various components depending on the system, such as a wall outlet or a mechanical coupling.
  • A participant notes that the triangles' orientation is unfamiliar, particularly in North America, and emphasizes the need for more information about the system's geographical context.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that more context is necessary to accurately identify the symbols. However, there are competing views on what the symbols could represent based on different interpretations and experiences.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations regarding the lack of specific information about the symbols, such as their application, geographical relevance, and the type of diagram they are part of.

You should give more context. What discipline (electrical, process/mechanical?) is it? Is there any supporting text or letters associated with those symbols?

The circle could be pretty much anything, depending on the type of diagram. I've never seen the triangles in that orientation before. Are these repeated patterns along lines or one-off symbols?

These are instrument symbols
 
That isn't helpful. You need to provide more information on what type of system the symbols are used in. The circle could be anything from a wall outlet, to a mechanical coupling, to a pipe turning out of the page (and more). What country is this system used in, I've never seen the triangles used in North America (that's not to say they aren't).
