Industrial pumps for projects in Barra, Bahia

No: manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, not dimensional compliance with that standard. So, before a replacement in Barra, interchangeability with the existing pump is checked on each model’s drawing, together with the duty point, materials and drive.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Barra.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Barra; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Barra, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

The review for Barra considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

FB Bombas reports a registration in the Petrobras supplier registry (CRC, formerly CRCC). It is a supplier registration, not a product certification; validity and supply families appear on the current certificate, provided on request. Technical standards depend on the series: mechanical construction per ASME B73.1 for the FBCN, NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 for FBFS fire pump sets when the project requires it, and API 610 for engineered-to-order projects. These bodies publish standards; they do not certify the company. Tests and certificates for each supply are defined in the proposal.

By replacement, not refurbishment. FB Bombas replaces the old pump with a new, complete FB pump manufactured in Cabreúva, Brazil. Before the order, engineering assesses the installation and issues a data sheet and dimensional drawing; the drawing confirms whether the existing baseplate and piping can be kept or need adaptation. FB does not refurbish other manufacturers’ pumps, sell third-party parts or reuse the installed casing. For FB pumps in service, it supplies original parts and maintenance contracts.

When the Data Book is part of the purchase scope. State which drawings, manuals, certificates and test reports are required for Barra; the proposal confirms the documents applicable to the supplied series and configuration. The same Data Book is not assumed for every pump.

FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer with direct service from its factory in Cabreúva. To compare an alternative for the project in Barra, check performance, materials, dimensions, documentation and commercial conditions. Brazilian origin alone does not guarantee lower cost, shorter lead time or technical equivalence.

Yes, when they are included in the purchase scope. The published services include bench performance testing with a scope defined for the project, and on-site start-up and commissioning based on the manual and site conditions. Procedure, test points, acceptance criteria, customer witnessing and reports are defined in the proposal before the supply for Barra is contracted.
