Frequently Asked Questions
Technical questions about the FBCN 150-500 centrifugal pump.
Physical dimensions and detailed curve
FBCN large-capacity models do not have individual physical dimensions published in the standard technical manual. Each project receives dimensional drawing, project-specific performance curve and material selection through direct consultation with FB Bombas engineering.
- Dimensional drawing with base, flanges, shaft and shaft end per ASME B73.1
- Printed performance curve at the project operating point
- Material selection (cast iron / steel / 316 stainless / duplex) by fluid
- API 682 mechanical seal plan (1, 2, 11, 21, 31, 32, 53A, 53B, 53C)
