Cyclone (gas-solid or gas-liquid)

ISO 10628-2 (groups 6, 8 and 28, filters, separators, agitators) / PIP PIC001 (group 8)

Drawn as

A cylinder on top of a cone pointing down, with a tangential inlet at the side of the cylinder, a gas outlet tube dipping in from the top and a solids or liquid outlet at the cone tip.

Meaning

Centrifugal separator. In oil and gas, cyclonic internals and cyclone separators remove liquids or sand from gas. No dedicated component; desanders and hydrocyclones have their own.

Variants

Multicyclone banks are drawn as several small cones in one vessel
