Technical solutions
Gear pump selection for Ubaí starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Ubaí, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. Technical fit in Ubaí points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. For Ubaí, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
Why FB Bombas
Fluid-roster complexity in Ubaí is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. The demand profile in Ubaí reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. In Ubaí, value added is dominated by services (29.4%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 142 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Ubaí demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Ubaí, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the mineracao cluster, Ubaí shares a technical agenda with process-water booster, slurry pumping, pit dewatering and tailings dam services — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics & support
Ubaí receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Ubaí: 818 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo.

How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Ubaí?
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Ubaí?
A technical quote for Ubaí starts with the application briefing, sent via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Required items: fluid name with viscosity at operating temperature, target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and whether the regime is continuous or intermittent. Once the analysis is complete, application engineering replies bringing a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Ubaí.
How long has FB Bombas been in the market?
How long has FB Bombas been in the market?
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Ubaí and all of Brazil.
What certifications does FB Bombas hold?
What certifications does FB Bombas hold?
Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, a Ubaí plant running a normalized pump of the same designation achieves retrofit on the already-installed baseplate: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, the FBCN pump takes the place of the previous one — piping and baseplate stay intact. Hydraulic equivalence (Q×H and NPSH) is checked separately, on the data sheet.
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Ubaí and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.
