Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Três Coroas, Rio Grande do Sul for local industry — head up to 138 m, temperature up to 260°C. API 610, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (779 km).


The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. FB Bombas application engineering serves Três Coroas with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). In Três Coroas, Rio Grande do Sul, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). The refining cluster of Canoas is 59 km from Três Coroas, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. In Três Coroas, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). For projects in Três Coroas that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. FB Bombas serves Três Coroas from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

Lead time for critical parts to Três Coroas is typically 72-96h — a function of distance (779 km) and the available road modal. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Três Coroas, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. Três Coroas: óleos industriais and água industrial suggest materials such as cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. The transferência geral and utilidades set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Três Coroas; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks.
In Três Coroas, low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Três Coroas, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Três Coroas, refino-cluster seasonality manifests as scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Três Coroas demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Três Coroas, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Três Coroas shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection.
779 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Três Coroas via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Três Coroas can use BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Três Coroas is structured as technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Três Coroas — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Três Coroas and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Três Coroas with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Três Coroas. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Três Coroas, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
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 API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
