A close study of most air logic control circuits will reveal that there are only six basic valve functions commonly used.

Pneumatic symbols are used to describe the function of the various valves and other devices which are connected together to form circuits and sub circuits.
These six basic valve symbols when combined with the basic actuator symbols comprise virtually all the directional valve symbols needed for air logic control.
Mechanical and air operated valves.
Here is a brief breakdown of how to read a symbol.

Pneumatic symbols only when the design fails does it draw attention to itself.
Pneumatically controlled devices use pneumatic valves to control and direct the air and enable operations such as lifting moving pressing etc.
Symbols show the methods of actuation the number of positions the flow paths and the number of ports.
