In a flow process chart, the symbol of a large circle (O) denotes which activity?
A large circle in a flow process chart denotes an operation. It shows that the material, product or person is being worked on or changed. Inspection is shown by a square, storage by an inverted triangle, delay by a D and transport by an arrow.
- AOperationCorrect
- BInspection
- CStorage
- DTransport
Explanation
In ASME symbols, a large circle denotes an operation, where work is done on the material. Inspection is a square, transport is a small arrow or small circle, and storage is an inverted triangle. Treating the circle as transport confuses the large and small circle.
