Industrial pumps for projects in Miranda, Mato Grosso do Sul

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.

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

The portfolio includes pumping sets for fire protection systems. Provide the project, duty point, drive arrangement and required standards and acceptance criteria. Compliance must be checked for the supplied set; standards such as NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 are not certificates issued for the entire company.

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

It depends on the model and the duty point; there is no single efficiency figure for the brand. The FBCN and FBME characteristic curves show the efficiency of each model and, for stainless-steel impellers with passages up to 15 mm, the FBCN manual deducts 2 or 3 points from the curve efficiency (Table 4). For the project in Miranda, compare the absorbed power at the process flow, head and fluid, also considering drive, control and operating duty.

The review for Miranda 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.

Send the application in Miranda, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Miranda, 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.

FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Send the identification and drawing of the pump installed in Miranda, with flow, head, fluid, materials and drive.

It depends on the series. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists oils in general, greases, asphalt, diesel oil, kerosene, paints, varnishes, resins and solvents, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment. The FBEI internal gear pump is intended for high-viscosity liquids. The FBCN and FBME handle clean or turbid liquids, and the FBOT handles organic thermal oils free of abrasive particles and of substances that chemically attack the pump. For the process in Miranda, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.
