FBCN Technical Manual
Standardized Centrifugal Pump — Per ASME B73.1 — back-pull-out construction
The FBCN series is a standardized centrifugal pump (per ASME B73.1) with back-pull-out construction: the rotor+bearing assembly is removed without disconnecting or realigning the piping. Wide flow coverage for industrial processes with clean or turbid liquids.

Fire Water Reserve (RTI): What It Is, How to Calculate It and What It Requires from the Pump
The fire water reserve is the water volume dedicated exclusively to fire fighting — the system autonomy until the Fire Department takes over. A manufacturer guide: the V = Q × t formula from the hydrant standard, the state instruction tables, the difference between total volume and effective capacity, and why the reserve defines the fire pump suction.
