Construction & Components

Official construction data from the technical manual

Back-Pull-Out Construction

Back-pull-out construction — allows bearing frame removal without disconnecting/misaligning piping. Simplifies maintenance.

Pump Body

Spiral-shaped body, cast in single piece without feet.

Impeller

Closed radial impeller, single suction.

Dual Sealing System

Dual safety sealing — graphite packing in first stage (in contact with thermal oil) + oil-submerged mechanical seal inside the bearing frame (ensures thermal stability).

Bearing Frame — Bearing frame 3 — 6306 bearings

Radial bearing6306 C4
Shielded bearing (grease)6306 ZZ C4 WT
Main lubricationOil (submerged)

Auxiliary Connections

  • D1 — Support drain (¼" BSP)
  • D2 — Mechanical seal leakage indicator (¼" BSP)
  • FF — Oil supply (¼" BSP)
  • V — Vent (¼" BSP)
FB Engineer·Technical perspective on this model

".1" variant — pressurized cover for critical applications

Models with ".1" suffix have reinforced pressure cover on the sealing chamber — construction indicated when discharge pressure approaches the upper curve limit or when there are operational pressure peaks. The pressurized cover adds robustness to the seal/packing assembly maintaining integrity even under severe conditions. Choose in consultation with FB engineering when operating pressure ≥ 80% of Figure 1 limit in the manual.

Frequently Asked Questions

Model-specific technical answers based on the official manual

The FBOT 32-160.1 has suction flange DN50mm and discharge flange DN32mm, per Table 5 of the FBOT Technical Manual. Available flanges: ANSI B16.42 150lbs (standard) or DIN EN 1092-2 PN16 (optional).
The designation follows the FB standard: "FBOT 32-160.1" where 32 is the discharge flange nominal diameter in mm and 160.1 is the impeller nominal diameter in mm. The ".1" suffix indicates a pressurized cover variant — reinforced sealing chamber construction.
Maximum operating temperature is 350°C per Table 1 of the FBOT Technical Manual. Maximum discharge pressure varies with temperature: approximately 16 bar at 100°C, 14 bar at 200°C, 11 bar at 300°C and 10 bar at 350°C (Figure 1 of the manual). For critical applications consult FB engineering.
The FBOT 32-160.1 has dual safety sealing: graphite packing (graphite fiber, 5.5mm) in the first stage in contact with thermal oil, and simple mechanical seal (Ø32 or Ø42) oil-submerged inside the bearing frame — ensuring thermal stability of the sealing system.
The FBOT 32-160.1 is in the Bearing frame 3 — 6306 bearings group — radial ball bearing 6306 C4 (oil-lubricated) and shielded grease-lubricated bearing 6306 ZZ C4 WT per Table 1 of the FBOT Technical Manual. Oil lubrication on the main bearing.
Yes. All FBOT pumps, including the 32-160.1, have back-pull-out construction — the bearing frame can be removed from the casing without disconnecting/misaligning the piping. This simplifies assembly, disassembly and maintenance.
Available materials with peripheral speed limits (manual Section 5): Cast Iron up to 40 m/s, Ductile Iron up to 60 m/s, Carbon Steel up to 60 m/s, Stainless Steels up to 80 m/s. The choice depends on thermal oil and temperature conditions. Consult FB engineering for technical recommendation.
The FBOT 32-160.1 has 4 auxiliary connections of ¼" BSP (manual Table 4): D1 (support drain), D2 (mechanical seal leakage indicator), FF (oil supply) and V (vent). They allow monitoring and maintenance of the sealing system.
Manual Table 2 defines motor power reserve: up to 2cv of required pump power → ~20% (minimum 1.5cv); up to 20cv → ~15%; above 20cv → ~10%. Important to avoid overload operation and extend motor service life.
Clockwise, viewed from the drive end (manual Table 1). Maximum rotation is 3500 rpm. For operation selection at 1750 rpm or 3500 rpm, consult the characteristic curves (manual Section 1). Hydrostatic test is performed at 1.5 × operating pressure.

Application-Specific Sizing

Specific flow rate, head and power depend on the thermal oil, temperature, density, viscosity and available NPSH. Our engineering sizes the ideal FBOT pump using characteristic curves from the technical manual — response within 48 business hours.
