FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Cametá

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Cametá and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Cametá: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.

Yes, we do. Supply for Cametá ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.

FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Cametá, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Cametá projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.

It does. The standard used is ISO 10816, with velocity RMS in mm/s, and the diagnosis — conducted by FB Bombas application engineering — identifies misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps operating in Cametá. At startup the baseline is captured; in PM campaigns, spectral comparison is performed; and interventions (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) are recommended before vibration enters zone D.

Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Cametá plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.
