Long Horizontal Broken Pipe

Long horizontal broken pipe SCADA symbol

The Long horizontal broken pipe widget represents a damaged longer horizontal pipe segment in a SCADA fluid system diagram. Use it to mark a fault or rupture location on an extended horizontal run.

This widget belongs to the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle — a collection of pipe segments, fittings, valves, pumps, and gauges designed for building fluid system diagrams on ThingsBoard dashboards. It represents a damaged or broken pipe section and triggers a dashboard action when clicked.

  • Represent a broken or damaged pipe segment visually in a SCADA fluid system diagram.
  • Trigger a dashboard action when the symbol is clicked.
  • Apply a custom color to the pipe element.

The widget connects to a single data source: either a Device or an Entity alias that resolves to a device. This device provides the context used for click actions.

The SCADA symbol defines the visual shape of the widget. Each broken pipe widget has a pre-selected symbol from the Traditional SCADA fluid system bundle. To use a different symbol, click Browse SCADA symbol from gallery and choose one from the library, or upload your own.
