Six verifiable credentials

Every certification listed comes from an identified body, with defined scope and applicable products. Nothing decorative — only credentials that open doors in regulated projects.

Supplier Qualification

CRCC Petrobras

CRCC — Petrobras Contractors Registry

Scope

Supplier qualified by the Petrobras Contractors Registry (CRCC) for industrial pumps — Family 6 (Rotating Equipment).

Why it matters

CRCC is a prerequisite for direct supply to Petrobras and its subsidiaries. Active registration removes an additional qualification stage from purchasing cycles.

Applies to

All FB lines supplied to the Petrobras chain: FBCN (centrifugal), FBE / FBEI (gear), FBOT (thermal oil) and fire-fighting systems.

Standards Compliance

API 610

API 610 — Centrifugal Pumps for Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas Industries

Scope

International standard for centrifugal pumps in petroleum, petrochemical and natural-gas service. Defines design, materials, testing and mechanical/hydraulic interchangeability requirements.

Why it matters

API 610 is the de-facto global reference for process pumps in oil & gas. Compliance is a gateway requirement for offshore projects, refineries and petrochemical plants.

Applies to

Special solutions / engineered-to-order for critical refining, petrochemical and oil & gas service (on request). The catalog FBCN line follows ASME B73.1.

Standards Compliance

API 676

API 676 — Positive Displacement Pumps, Rotary

Scope

International standard for rotary positive-displacement pumps. Sets design, materials, inspection and testing requirements for continuous petrochemical service.

Why it matters

Makes the gear pump specifiable in regulated projects (refineries, petrochemical, sugar/ethanol) where normative reference is mandatory on the data sheet.

Applies to

FBE line (external gear, DN 1/8" to 6", up to 390 m³/h, up to 220 m, up to 350°C) and FBEI line (internal gear).

Standards Compliance

NFPA 20

NFPA 20 — Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection

Scope

US standard adopted globally for the installation of stationary fire-protection pumps. Covers main pump, standby pump, jockey, electric and diesel drive, control panel and complete skid.

Why it matters

Mandatory normative reference for industrial and commercial fire-protection projects. Universal acceptance by insurers, fire departments and AHJs.

Applies to

FB fire-fighting systems — pre-assembled skid with main pump (FBCN), diesel standby pump, jockey pump and automatic control panel.

Standards Compliance

ABNT NBR 16704

ABNT NBR 16704 — Pumps: Terminology

Scope

Brazilian standard for pump terminology and classification. Unifies technical vocabulary for specification in regulated projects.

Why it matters

Adherence to ABNT terminology ensures compatibility with Brazilian data sheets, design memos and regulated projects — reduces ambiguity between supplier, designer and inspection body.

Applies to

All FB Bombas pumps — FBCN, FBE, FBEI, FBOT and fire-fighting systems.

Standards Compliance

ABNT NBR 10897

ABNT NBR 10897 — Automatic Sprinkler Fire-Protection Systems

Scope

Brazilian standard for sprinkler systems. Defines flow, pressure, autonomy and coverage requirements for fire protection in industrial, commercial and residential buildings.

Why it matters

Required by state fire departments and insurers for issuance of AVCB/CLCB in buildings with sprinkler systems in Brazil.

Applies to

FB fire-fighting systems sized for sprinkler networks — main FBCN pump + jockey + optional diesel standby.

Frequently Asked Questions on Certifications

Standards compliance, Petrobras qualification and FB Bombas' real capabilities — factual, verifiable answers.

Does FB Bombas have ISO 9001 quality management certification?

No. FB Bombas operates under product-level standards compliance, without ISO 9001 quality management certification. Real and verifiable compliances are: API 610 (special solutions), API 676 (positive displacement), ASME B73.1 (horizontal normalization), NFPA 20 + ABNT NBR 16704/10897/13714 (fire-fighting), ISO 21940 (G2.5 balancing). CRCC Petrobras qualification Family 6 — Rotating Equipment as a differentiator in Oil & Gas projects.

Does FB Bombas have its own foundry?

No. FB Bombas does not have its own foundry. The real vertically-integrated capabilities in Cabreúva-SP are: in-house CNC machining (turning and milling centers), in-house assembly, hydraulic test bench, ISO 21940 G2.5 dynamic balancing, CFD simulation and 3D parametric CAD modeling. Cast raw materials (spiral bodies, impellers) are sourced with mill test reports and validated by PMI before machining.

What are FB Bombas REAL and verifiable certifications?

FB Bombas maintains a single active customer certification (CRCC Petrobras Family 6 — Rotating Equipment) and multiple product-level normative compliances: API 610 (special solutions), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), ASME B73.1 (FBCN/FBOT), ISO 21940 G2.5 (dynamic balancing), NFPA 20 (FBFS — fire-fighting systems), ABNT NBR 16704 + 10897 + 13714 (Brazilian fire standards). Active corporate registry 61.381.240/0001-78 publicly verifiable at Brazilian Federal Revenue.

What is CRCC Petrobras Family 6 qualification?

The CRCC (Cadastro de Registro Cadastral de Contratados) is the Petrobras supplier qualification system for Brazilian Oil & Gas projects. Family 6 — Rotating Equipment covers industrial pumps, compressors and rotating equipment in general. FB Bombas is a qualified supplier in this family, eligible to supply its product lines (FBE, FBEI, FBCN, FBOT, FBFS and Custom Solutions) for Petrobras projects and group companies. Qualification is renewed periodically per Petrobras procedures.

Why does FB Bombas adopt API 610 and ASME B73.1 instead of ISO 5199?

API 610 is the American Petroleum Institute standard for centrifugal pumps in refining/petrochemicals and is the international reference for Oil & Gas projects. ASME B73.1 is the North American dimensional standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps, adopted as standard by global majors — facilitating retrofit and interchangeability. ISO 5199 is the equivalent ISO standard, adopted mainly in European markets. FB Bombas opted for the API 610 (special solutions) + ASME B73.1 (FBCN catalog) combination for alignment with Brazilian Oil & Gas practices (Petrobras) and broader retrofit reach in installed equipment.

Does FB Bombas comply with NFPA 20 and ABNT NBR 16704 simultaneously?

Yes. The FBFS line (Fire-Fighting Systems) is built in simultaneous compliance with NFPA 20 (international standard from the National Fire Protection Association for stationary fire-fighting pumps) and the Brazilian standards: ABNT NBR 16704 (fire-fighting pumps), NBR 10897 (automatic sprinkler systems) and NBR 13714 (hydrant and hose reel systems). Each set is delivered with hydrostatic test certificate at 1.5× design pressure and traceable performance curve.

Does FB Bombas use CFD and 3D CAD in special projects?

Yes. FB Bombas has 3D parametric CAD modeling on all special projects and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation when applicable — to validate hydraulic performance under non-standard conditions before physical manufacturing. Real CFD simulation images executed in FB Bombas projects are published at /images/products/cfd/ on the site (5 outputs: 3D volute render, 3D/section/top velocity contour, flow lines). Final validation by test on hydraulic bench.

What hydrostatic test does FB Bombas apply?

FB Bombas applies hydrostatic testing at 1.5× design pressure on all pumps before shipping. The test is executed on its own hydraulic bench in Cabreúva-SP (not outsourced). The test detects casting/machining defects in casing, connections and joints, and confirms mechanical integrity of the assembly under pressure higher than operational. Result documented in certificate attached to shipping packing list.

How does FB Bombas ensure dynamic balancing on impellers?

All FB Bombas impellers and rotating assemblies are dynamically balanced per ISO 21940 grade G2.5 — international standard for industrial pump rotors. Balancing is executed on dedicated equipment in Cabreúva-SP, with mass correction at planes pre-defined in the project. Results documented in traceable report. Grade G2.5 ensures smooth operation (reduced vibration) at speeds up to 3,500 rpm, extending service life of bearings, mechanical seal and coupling.
