Centrifugal pumps for projects in Quaraí, Rio Grande do Sul

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 Quaraí; 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.

It depends on the series. Installation and operation instructions are in FBEI manual MAN001-10 and in FBME service manual MSERV-08/01, which also covers maintenance and recommends FB-authorized supervision during installation. The FBE (MTEC-01/01), FBCN (MTEC-03/00) and FBOT (MTEC-16/00) technical manuals provide technical data, sectional drawings, parts lists and dimensions; for installing and maintaining these series, the published services include on-site start-up and commissioning and maintenance contracts. The manuals are on the website’s technical manuals page (PDFs in Portuguese), and MSERV-08/01 is on the FBME series page. For the operation in Quaraí, identify the series and model from the pump’s nameplate.

Use the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Describe the project in Quaraí, fluid and technical data you already have. The team reviews the application, clarifies missing information and confirms the configuration and proposal conditions.

Yes, once equivalence has been confirmed. FB Bombas replaces the installed pump with a complete FB pump and, before the order, assesses the installation and sends a data sheet and dimensional drawing. For the installation in Quaraí, send the identification and drawing of the current pump, with its duty point, fluid, materials and drive; origin or a similar designation does not guarantee direct replacement.

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.

Service can be requested for Quaraí and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

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.

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

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 Quaraí, compare the absorbed power at the process flow, head and fluid, also considering drive, control and operating duty.

It depends on the series. On the FBCN and FBOT, back pull-out construction allows the bearing-housing assembly to be removed without disconnecting the piping, and the FBEI catalogue also indicates back pull-out construction. The FBE external gear pump is not back pull-out: its shafts are supported on bushings. Before working on the equipment in Quaraí, check the series manual, the sectional drawing and the parts list.
