Description

This standard presents symbols & definitions that may be used in constructing schematic diagrams for mechanical & acoustical systems.
Standard maintained stabilized maintenance. maintenance option requires status review every 10 years rather revision reaffirmation 5 years. standards committee shall consider requests recommendations change materially affected interested party. request made writing include rationale particular order facilitate committee. presents symbols definitions may used constructing schematic diagrams mechanical acoustical systems whose performances describable finite sets scalar variables. choice described herein based upon following assumptions: a. system can divided conceptually set elements dynamical properties known. b. conceptual element assigned terminals. c. interconnected form diagram whole field equations satisfied junction point around closed loop. appear evolved principles mind: possible draw easily quickly. symbol distinctive feasible suggest well-known embodiment question. preferably previously scientific literature. note 1. questions concerning specific so-called equivalent circuit electro-mechanical type mixed not within scope standard. 2. appendix (not part standard) provides background information use diagrams. & systems.
