Normalized Centrifugal Pump Factory

A normalized pump follows dimensions standardized by technical standards, such as ASME B73.1 for chemical process pumps. Within the same standard and dimensional designation, connections, base and shaft have fixed measurements, which eases replacement between suppliers. On the FBCN, manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1 and publishes the external dimensions of each model; replacing an installed pump is confirmed by comparing these dimensions, the Q×H duty point, NPSHr, flanges and materials.

Main advantages are: quick replacement without changing piping, reduced parts inventory, easier maintenance, lower total cost of ownership and independence from a single supplier.

They can be, when the dimensions match. Manual MTEC-03/00 publishes the external dimensions of each FBCN model; engineering compares nozzles, shaft height, baseplate bolt holes and shaft end with the installed pump and confirms duty point, NPSHr, flanges and materials on the data sheet.

The FBCN nomenclature follows the standard: discharge diameter - impeller diameter. For example, FBCN 50-200 means 50mm discharge and 200mm impeller diameter.

Yes, when dimensions and duty point are compatible. Send the model, dimensional designation and nameplate photo of the current pump: engineering compares its dimensions with the FBCN dimensional data before the proposal. FBCN mechanical construction follows ASME B73.1, according to manual MTEC-03/00.

The warranty is issued by the manufacturer itself: term, coverage and exclusions are stated in the commercial proposal, according to the application and operating conditions.

Yes, when requested in the order: the dimensional report records the measured critical dimensions and the acceptance criteria defined in the proposal.
