What is BS 5070-3 – Recommendations for mechanical/fluid flow diagrams about ?
BS 5070 is a British Standard that discusses best industry practices for engineering diagram drawings.
BS 5070-3 is the third part of the series that discusses the use and benefits of mechanical/fluid flow diagrams during drawing engineering diagrams.
BS 5070-3 gives recommendations for the practice to be followed in preparing mechanical, process and fluid flow diagrams. It covers all aspects of diagram representation except the choice of symbols for particular components; this is the subject of BS 1553 and other relevant standards giving symbols for specific industrial use.
BS 5070-3 should always be used in conjunction with BS 5070-1 and the relevant symbol standards when preparing mechanical, process and fluid flow diagrams.
