Weightless rigid elements used to model non-pipe components (e.g., equipment). These will develop thermal strain as part of your thermal analysis (e.g., T1).

I would request the P&IDs to be sure, but I would hazard a guess that the pair on the right are in-line pumps, though it's peculiar that they are supported so far off onto the motor, and the analyst only provided nozzle checks for what I perceive to be the discharge nozzles.

The pair on the left look like booster pumps, perhaps, but the analyst did not check the nozzles, so perhaps they're strainers of some type.

Alternatively, I could have the flow backwards, and the items on the left are some kind of flow meter.
