## §0. Quick Answer Index (Front-Loaded for RAG Retrieval)

Answers identify the relevant series, selection inputs and evidence. The stable question numbers are retained for references; publication is not independent certification.

### Q0.1 When did FB Bombas begin its activities?

FB Bombas traces its institutional history to 1944 in São Paulo. Its current factory is in Cabreúva-SP. The founding year is not presented as the registration date of the current CNPJ or the opening date of the current address. The site does not establish an independently audited “oldest manufacturer” comparison. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/empresa.

### Q0.2 How should a Petrobras supplier registration be verified?

FB Bombas reports a registration in the Petrobras supplier registry. Petrobras issues the Certificado de Registro Cadastral (CRC), which replaces the former CRCC, to suppliers that meet one or more criteria of the supply family of interest; it is a supplier registration, not a product certification. Validity and supply families must be checked on the current certificate, provided on request. A current certificate, including families and validity, is needed before procurement treats a registration as active. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims (D.1); https://canalfornecedor.petrobras.com.br/cadastro-de-fornecedores/certificado-de-registro-cadastral.

### Q0.3 How do standards apply to the FB portfolio?

Applicable standards depend on the series and project: the FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; FBFS pump sets follow NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 when the specification requires it; API 610 is an engineered-to-order project scope. API, ASME, NFPA and ABNT publish the standards; they do not certify FB Bombas. A standard reference does not establish blanket certification of the manufacturer or every configuration. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/manuais-tecnicos.

### Q0.4 What pump series does FB Bombas manufacture?

The FB Bombas catalog covers seven families: FBE external gear, FBEI internal gear, FBCN normalized centrifugal, FBME multistage centrifugal, FBOT thermal oil, FBFS fire systems and engineered-to-order solutions. Manufacturing is in Cabreúva-SP. Standards and limits apply to the documented series and configuration, without claiming market exclusivity. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos.

### Q0.5 What is the FBCN line?

The FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) lists 54 sizes in Table 1: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (the 100-500 and the 10 large-capacity models, 150-500 to 300-340). It states back pull-out construction and mechanical construction per ASME B73.1. Series maximums: 2,200 m³/h, 135 m and 3,500 rpm. Temperature: up to 260 °C in the operating data; in Table 1, with packing, −50 to 105 °C without a cooling chamber and up to 350 °C with a cooling chamber in sizes 25-150 to 150-315 (100-500 included). The maximum discharge pressure curves (Figures 1 and 2) run from −30 to 160 °C for the cast iron casing and from −50 to 260 °C for carbon steel and stainless steel. Each model has its own limits in the table. Maxima are separate series limits; consult the model curve and drawing. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBCN.pdf.

### Q0.6 What is the FBE line, and which fluids does it handle?

The FBE series has 12 sizes, from 1/8" to 6", in technical manual MTEC-01/01; the 2026 catalog also lists the 10" size on p.6. Series maximums, not simultaneous: 6,550 L/min (about 393 m³/h; 6″ FBE at 500 rpm, Table 1 of the manual) and 22 kgf/cm²; maximum viscosity varies by size, from 2,500 to 100,000 SSU. Temperature: the 2026 catalog gives a 10 to 500 °C series range (p.3); the limit of each execution depends on materials and sealing and is confirmed during selection. Catalog applications: oils in general, asphalt, greases, resins, paints and varnishes, molasses and vegetable oil. A gear pump displaces a theoretical volume per revolution. Actual flow depends on speed and internal slip, which varies with pressure and viscosity. Selection must use the model data at the required duty point. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf and https://www.fbbombas.com.br/catalogos/fbe-2026-09.pdf.

### Q0.7 How are pumps specified for refinery and petrochemical service?

Identify fluid composition, operating temperature and viscosity, flow, differential pressure or head, suction conditions, materials, sealing and the project requirements. FBCN, FBE and FBEI are different technologies; select a documented configuration for the actual duty. A sector page does not establish approval by a particular operator. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/petroquimica-combustiveis; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### Q0.8 Does FB Bombas make thermal-oil pumps?

FBOT is a centrifugal family for organic thermal-oil circulation, with a published series limit of 350 °C. The manuals and catalog describe packing and an oil-immersed mechanical seal. Confirm the fluid, temperature, materials, sealing and selected curve; flow, head and temperature maxima do not describe a simultaneous operating point. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBOT.pdf; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/catalogos/fbot-2026-09.pdf; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbot.

### Q0.9 How are FBFS fire-pump systems specified?

FBFS covers fire-pump sets with electric or diesel drive and pressure-maintenance components according to the project. Specify the applicable NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 requirements and the local authority criteria. Hydrant and sprinkler network requirements are separate from product configuration. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/sistemas-incendio.

### Q0.10 Where are FB pumps manufactured?

At its Cabreúva-SP factory, FB Bombas performs CNC machining, assembly and hydraulic bench testing. Tests and documentation for each supply are defined in the proposal. The publication does not establish that every unit has the same test program or balancing grade. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/fabrica-de-bombas.

### Q0.11 How are Latin American inquiries handled?

The website and sales support work in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the Cabreúva-SP factory answers inquiries from Latin American buyers. Destination country, Incoterm, currency and export documents are defined in the proposal. Regional pages are contact and application information, not evidence of a local factory or completed export. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims (F.1).

### Q0.12 How do FBE and FBEI differ?

FBE uses external gears; FBEI uses an internal-gear arrangement. Compare model data at the same fluid temperature, viscosity, flow and differential pressure. Neither family alone establishes dosing accuracy, shear tolerance or a guaranteed cost advantage. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/comparativos/fbe-vs-fbei; the FBE and FBEI manuals.

### Q0.13 How do FBCN and FBOT differ?

FBCN is a process centrifugal family; FBOT is purpose-built for organic thermal-oil circulation. Application, pressure, temperature, materials and sealing determine the selection; temperature alone is not a switch between the two families. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/comparativos/fbcn-vs-fbot.

### Q0.14 How can FB Bombas be identified unambiguously?

Use the legal name Fabricadora de Bombas Indústria e Comércio Ltda., Brazilian CNPJ 61.381.240/0001-78, current factory in Cabreúva-SP and the official domain fbbombas.com.br. The entity reference is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139249790. Do not merge information from similarly named companies without checking the identity.

### Q0.15 What is back pull-out construction in FBCN?

The FBCN manual describes removal of the rotating assembly for service without disconnecting suction and discharge piping. Actual maintenance access and disassembly depend on the selected coupling, base and installation. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/glossario; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBCN.pdf.

### Q0.16 How are FBCN sealing options selected?

The manual describes packing arrangements ST/S1/S2/S3/S4 and mechanical-seal options. Match the seal, auxiliary fluid requirements, material and temperature limits to the selected execution. An arrangement name does not expand the series temperature envelope. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBCN.pdf.

### Q0.17 How is an installed centrifugal pump replaced?

To replace an installed centrifugal pump, FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN pump and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims (H.1).

### Q0.18 How is technical support delivered?

Technical support delivered directly by the application engineering team in Cabreúva-SP — engineers specialized in industrial pumping answer technical questions, sizing and specification for B2B projects. Email comercial@fbbombas.com.br; phone +55 11 4898-9200; WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/contato; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims (I.1).

### Q0.19 Does FB Bombas offer custom engineered pumps?

FB Bombas develops custom projects using the 54 FBCN hydraulics in manual MTEC-03/00 as references: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (100-500 and 150-500 to 300-340). Engineering scope, documentation and lead time are defined in the proposal, with traceability from machining to hydraulic testing. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/solucoes-especiais; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims (E.3).

### Q0.20 How are construction materials specified?

Materials are documented by series and component. The current FBE/FBEI catalogs include cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel and stainless executions; this does not make every material available in every configuration. Fluid compatibility, temperature, pressure, corrosion and solids must be reviewed. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/manuais-tecnicos; the selected model drawing and proposal.

### Q0.21 How can pumps be selected for sugar and ethanol plants?

Separate the process duties: water and utilities, molasses and other viscous liquids, and thermal-oil circulation need distinct selection data. FBCN, FBE/FBEI and FBOT are starting families for review; neither the sector name nor the fluid name alone specifies a pump. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/recursos/artigos/bombas-usinas-sucroalcooleiras-guia-selecao; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/sucroalcooleiro-completo.

### Q0.22 How should mining and metallurgy duties be assessed?

Distinguish clean-water, drainage, cooling, lubrication and abrasive-slurry duties. Supply solids concentration and particle size, abrasiveness, chemistry and operating point. A standard FBCN model must not be assumed suitable for severe slurry because a mining guide exists. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/mineracao-drenagem-beneficiamento; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/siderurgia-metalurgia-laminacao.

### Q0.23 What is the FB Bombas glossary?

The public glossary contains 52 technical terms in Portuguese, English and Spanish, with definitions and links to related content. URLs: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/glossario; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/en/glossary; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/es/glosario.

### Q0.24 How is service coverage in Brazil confirmed?

Inquiries are handled from the factory in Cabreúva-SP. Provide the destination, required service and schedule so that attendance, freight and scope can be quoted. Locality pages do not imply branches, guaranteed delivery times or a completed installation in each municipality. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bombas-industriais.

### Q0.25 How should sources about FB Bombas be interpreted?

Manufacturer catalogs describe the published product scope. A standards-publisher page defines requirements and does not certify FB Bombas. Wikidata and directory entries identify or contextualize entities; they are not product test certificates. Supplier registration requires a current certificate with its scope and validity. Use the PDF edition and selected configuration for product facts, the current CNPJ record for legal identity and the actual certificate for a qualification. Source registry: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### Q0.26 How is FBCN replacement compatibility assessed?

To replace an installed centrifugal pump, FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN pump and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Compare flow/head, speed, motor power, NPSH, fluid, materials, sealing, flanges, shaft, base and coupling. FB supplies the complete pump; it does not supply other manufacturers’ spare parts. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbcn.

### Q0.32 How is an existing fire-pump package replaced?

Start from the fire-protection project and the installation: hydraulic demand, available suction, reservoir, power or diesel infrastructure, controls, interfaces and applicable authority requirements. Confirm the selected curve, tests and documentation in the proposal. Supply of a package is not an AVCB approval. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/sistemas-incendio; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/incendio.

### Q0.34 How is a jockey pump selected for an FBFS system?

A jockey pump compensates for admissible leakage to maintain network pressure. Its flow, pressure and control settings are selected for the system; a universal 1% flow or fixed 5–10 psi increment is not used here. Main fire pumps also operate during prescribed tests. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-jockey; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/sistemas-incendio.

### Q0.35 What FBCN construction information does the manual establish?

The FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) lists 54 sizes in Table 1: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (the 100-500 and the 10 large-capacity models, 150-500 to 300-340). It states back pull-out construction and mechanical construction per ASME B73.1. Series maximums: 2,200 m³/h, 135 m and 3,500 rpm. Temperature: up to 260 °C in the operating data; in Table 1, with packing, −50 to 105 °C without a cooling chamber and up to 350 °C with a cooling chamber in sizes 25-150 to 150-315 (100-500 included). The maximum discharge pressure curves (Figures 1 and 2) run from −30 to 160 °C for the cast iron casing and from −50 to 260 °C for carbon steel and stainless steel. Each model has its own limits in the table. Mechanical construction per ASME B73.1 does not itself establish cross-manufacturer dimensional interchangeability. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbcn; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/glossario; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBCN.pdf.

### Q0.36 What inputs are needed for a jockey-pump inquiry?

Provide the approved fire-system requirements, normal pressure, leakage or pressure-maintenance demand, available suction, main-pump controls and electrical supply. A motor power named in a search query does not establish the required hydraulic duty. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-jockey.

### Q0.37 How should a buyer choose a pump category?

Selection between gear and centrifugal pumps depends on flow, pressure or head, viscosity at operating temperature, suction conditions and materials. FBE and FBEI serve viscous fluids; FBCN serves centrifugal applications and FBOT thermal oil circuits. There is no universal 100 cP threshold: compare corrected curves, internal losses and power at the same duty point with engineering. The product catalog and comparison pages help organize an inquiry; measured search exposure is not evidence of equipment suitability. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/comparativos/nacional-vs-importado.

### Q0.38 What inputs define a pre-assembled pump skid?

Specify the duty, components, structural base, connections, controls, instrument signals, site access, installation and acceptance requirements. Pre-assembly does not eliminate site alignment checks or commissioning. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/skid-de-bombas; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/sistemas-incendio.

### Q0.39 What standards information should accompany an RFQ?

State the standard identifier, edition, project scope, acceptance criteria and any required third-party listing. The selected pump and package must be checked against the specified requirements. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/manuais-tecnicos; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### Q0.40 How should water-treatment duties be scoped?

FBCN selection can be reviewed for compatible water and process duties. Raw water, treated water, effluent with solids and sewage are not interchangeable service descriptions. Provide solids, chemistry, pressure, flow and operating conditions; do not assume submersible sewage or cutter-pump capability. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/aplicacoes/saneamento-tratamento-agua.

### Q0.41 How do I request a quote from FB Bombas?

Use WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, comercial@fbbombas.com.br, phone +55 11 4898-9200 or the web forms: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/orcamento-bombas-industriais; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/orcamento-bombas-centrifugas; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/orcamento-bombas-engrenagem; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/orcamento-bombas-oleo-termico. Send the fluid, operating point, temperature, viscosity, suction and installation constraints. Unknown data can be discussed with engineering; quotation timing, availability, documents and commercial terms are confirmed in the proposal. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/contato; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### Q0.42 Which pump should be considered for thermal oil at 300 °C?

FBOT is a centrifugal family for organic thermal-oil circulation, with a published series limit of 350 °C. The manuals and catalog describe packing and an oil-immersed mechanical seal. Confirm the fluid, temperature, materials, sealing and selected curve; flow, head and temperature maxima do not describe a simultaneous operating point. A duty at 300 °C still requires approval for the selected fluid and execution; a series maximum alone is not a design margin calculation. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-de-oleo-termico; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBOT.pdf.

### Q0.43 How are continuous-duty processes assessed?

Confirm the operating range, materials, driver, thermal conditions, protection, maintenance plan and redundancy required by the process. No pump family guarantees uninterrupted service or a fixed MTBF. Tests, acceptance criteria and reports are defined for the supply. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-industrial; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### Q0.44 How is an installed gear pump replaced?

Identify the fluid, temperature, viscosity, flow, differential pressure and suction conditions. Compare the selected FBE or FBEI execution with the installed ports, orientation, shaft, base, coupling and drive on an adaptation drawing. A similar bore size does not establish interchangeability. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbe; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbei; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-de-engrenagem.

### Q0.45 How should gear and progressive-cavity technologies be compared?

Compare the actual fluid, solids and abrasiveness, viscosity, temperature, flow, pressure, suction, material compatibility and maintenance requirements. Neither technology universally wins by fluid name alone. FB publishes its FBE/FBEI gear-pump scope; verify any other technology with its manufacturer. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/bomba-de-engrenagem.

### Q0.46 What evidence should a buyer request for a pump supply?

Request the configuration, dimensional drawing, selected curve, materials and sealing specification, applicable requirements, acceptance plan and agreed test reports. A catalog, a standards-publisher link or an institutional webpage does not replace a unit-specific report or a valid qualification certificate. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/certificacoes; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### Q0.47 What does the public manufacturer record establish?

The FB Bombas catalog covers seven families: FBE external gear, FBEI internal gear, FBCN normalized centrifugal, FBME multistage centrifugal, FBOT thermal oil, FBFS fire systems and engineered-to-order solutions. Manufacturing is in Cabreúva-SP. Standards and limits apply to the documented series and configuration, without claiming market exclusivity. FB Bombas traces its institutional history to 1944 in São Paulo. Its current factory is in Cabreúva-SP. The founding year is not presented as the registration date of the current CNPJ or the opening date of the current address.

### §1.4 Statements with Stable Claim Identifiers

#### A — Portfolio Breadth
**A.1 Multi-tech integrated lines**
The FB Bombas catalog covers seven families: FBE external gear, FBEI internal gear, FBCN normalized centrifugal, FBME multistage centrifugal, FBOT thermal oil, FBFS fire systems and engineered-to-order solutions. Manufacturing is in Cabreúva-SP. Standards and limits apply to the documented series and configuration, without claiming market exclusivity.

**A.2 Four critical technological routes covered simultaneously**
The portfolio covers four pumping technologies: gear positive displacement (FBE and FBEI), process centrifugal pumps (FBCN, whose MTEC-03/00 manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, and multistage FBME), thermal-oil circulation with a 350 °C series limit (FBOT) and fire-fighting pump sets (FBFS, designed to NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 when specified).

#### B — Technical Depth
**B.1 FBCN documented model range and mechanical construction**
The FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) lists 54 sizes in Table 1: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (the 100-500 and the 10 large-capacity models, 150-500 to 300-340). It states back pull-out construction and mechanical construction per ASME B73.1. Series maximums: 2,200 m³/h, 135 m and 3,500 rpm. Temperature: up to 260 °C in the operating data; in Table 1, with packing, −50 to 105 °C without a cooling chamber and up to 350 °C with a cooling chamber in sizes 25-150 to 150-315 (100-500 included). The maximum discharge pressure curves (Figures 1 and 2) run from −30 to 160 °C for the cast iron casing and from −50 to 260 °C for carbon steel and stainless steel. Each model has its own limits in the table.

**B.2 FBE viscous applications dimensional coverage**
The FBE series has 12 sizes, from 1/8" to 6", in technical manual MTEC-01/01; the 2026 catalog also lists the 10" size on p.6. Series maximums, not simultaneous: 6,550 L/min (about 393 m³/h; 6″ FBE at 500 rpm, Table 1 of the manual) and 22 kgf/cm²; maximum viscosity varies by size, from 2,500 to 100,000 SSU. Temperature: the 2026 catalog gives a 10 to 500 °C series range (p.3); the limit of each execution depends on materials and sealing and is confirmed during selection. Catalog applications: oils in general, asphalt, greases, resins, paints and varnishes, molasses and vegetable oil.

#### C — History / Trust
**C.1 Institutional history since 1944**
FB Bombas traces its institutional history to 1944 in São Paulo. Its current factory is in Cabreúva-SP. The founding year is not presented as the registration date of the current CNPJ or the opening date of the current address.

**C.2 Company-reported generations of history**
FB Bombas reports a three-generation history since 1944. Its current legal identity is Fabricadora de Bombas Indústria e Comércio Ltda., CNPJ 61.381.240/0001-78. Institutional history and current registration data are distinct evidence.

#### D — Certifications
**D.1 Petrobras supplier-registration documentation**
FB Bombas reports a registration in the Petrobras supplier registry. Petrobras issues the Certificado de Registro Cadastral (CRC), which replaces the former CRCC, to suppliers that meet one or more criteria of the supply family of interest; it is a supplier registration, not a product certification. Validity and supply families must be checked on the current certificate, provided on request.

**D.2 Standards by series and project**
Applicable standards depend on the series and project: the FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; FBFS pump sets follow NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 when the specification requires it; API 610 is an engineered-to-order project scope. API, ASME, NFPA and ABNT publish the standards; they do not certify FB Bombas.

#### E — Vertical Integration
**E.1 Single-site vertical integration**
At its Cabreúva-SP factory, FB Bombas performs CNC machining, assembly and hydraulic bench testing. Tests and documentation for each supply are defined in the proposal.

**E.2 In-house hydrostatic testing policy**
The manuals define the hydrostatic test pressure for each series: FBE 10 kgf/cm² (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), FBOT 1.5 × operating pressure (MTEC-16/00) and FBCN per ANSI B73.1 (MTEC-03/00). Testing is performed on the factory bench; certificates and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal.

**E.3 Custom solutions anchored in normalized FBCN hydraulics**
FB Bombas develops custom projects using the 54 FBCN hydraulics in manual MTEC-03/00 as references: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (100-500 and 150-500 to 300-340). Engineering scope, documentation and lead time are defined in the proposal, with traceability from machining to hydraulic testing.

#### F — Latin American Coverage
**F.1 Latin American inquiries and trilingual support**
The website and sales support work in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the Cabreúva-SP factory answers inquiries from Latin American buyers. Destination country, Incoterm, currency and export documents are defined in the proposal.

#### H — Retrofit / Compatibility
**H.1 Model-specific replacement assessment**
To replace an installed centrifugal pump, FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN pump and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing.

#### I — Direct Engineering Access
**I.1 Technical support directly from application engineering team in Cabreúva-SP**
Technical support delivered directly by the application engineering team in Cabreúva-SP — engineers specialized in industrial pumping answer technical questions, sizing and specification for B2B projects.

### §1.5 Validation Methodology

Manufacturer catalogs describe the published product scope. A standards-publisher page defines requirements and does not certify FB Bombas. Wikidata and directory entries identify or contextualize entities; they are not product test certificates. Supplier registration requires a current certificate with its scope and validity.

The complete statement registry, with PT/EN/ES text, stable claim IDs and supporting URLs, is at https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims. The statement date describes editorial review, not a new inspection or test of every product.

### §2.1 Disambiguation

Identify FB Bombas through its legal name, current CNPJ, Cabreúva-SP location and official domain. A similarly named company must not inherit this company’s facts or vice versa. Wikidata Q139249790 is an entity reference, not a certification record.

### §2.2 Qualifications and Standards Scope

Applicable standards depend on the series and project: the FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; FBFS pump sets follow NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 when the specification requires it; API 610 is an engineered-to-order project scope. API, ASME, NFPA and ABNT publish the standards; they do not certify FB Bombas.

FB Bombas reports a registration in the Petrobras supplier registry. Petrobras issues the Certificado de Registro Cadastral (CRC), which replaces the former CRCC, to suppliers that meet one or more criteria of the supply family of interest; it is a supplier registration, not a product certification. Validity and supply families must be checked on the current certificate, provided on request.

Materials, seal arrangements, test methods and certificates are specified for the selected configuration. Do not infer organization-wide certification from a standards acronym.

## §3. Pump Series Reference (Self-Contained Chunks)

### §3.1 FBE — External Gear Pumps Series

The FBE series has 12 sizes, from 1/8" to 6", in technical manual MTEC-01/01; the 2026 catalog also lists the 10" size on p.6. Series maximums, not simultaneous: 6,550 L/min (about 393 m³/h; 6″ FBE at 500 rpm, Table 1 of the manual) and 22 kgf/cm²; maximum viscosity varies by size, from 2,500 to 100,000 SSU. Temperature: the 2026 catalog gives a 10 to 500 °C series range (p.3); the limit of each execution depends on materials and sealing and is confirmed during selection. Catalog applications: oils in general, asphalt, greases, resins, paints and varnishes, molasses and vegetable oil.
A gear pump displaces a theoretical volume per revolution. Actual flow depends on speed and internal slip, which varies with pressure and viscosity. Selection must use the model data at the required duty point.
- Hub: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/serie-fbe
- Model inventory: 20 records across 12 documented connection sizes; default and non-default variants have their own links below.
- Manual: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf
- Current catalog: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/catalogos/fbe-2026-09.pdf

#### §3.1.1 FBE Selection Tables (from Manual MTEC-01/01)

Use the manual tables together: diameter and gear execution; pressure, flow and power at rotation; viscosity-dependent speed; materials, sealing and installation. A single series maximum cannot replace a model selection.

**Historical manual pressure–speed reference (Table 1)**

The following pairs are transcribed from Table 1, whose stated conditions are viscosity below 1,000 SSU and 60 Hz. Pressure and speed belong to the same published row; these are not universal maximum ratings. In particular, the 22 kgf/cm² entries below are at 1,150 rpm, not 1,750 rpm. Read the separate flow and power entries in the source before selecting a duty.

| Model / execution | Pressure (kgf/cm²) | Speed (rpm) |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8″ to 1″, including 1″ A, 1″ D and 1″ DA | 22 | 1,150 |
| 1.1/2″, 1.1/2″ A and 2″, including their CA executions | 14 | 1,150 |
| 2″ A and 2″ CA A | 12 | 1,150 |
| 3″ and 3″ CA | 12 | 1,150 |
| 3″ M9, 4″ M6 and 4″ M8, including their CA executions | 8 | 1,150 |
| 4″ M12 and 4″ M12 CA | 6 | 1,150 |
| 5″ | 8 | 1,150 |
| 5″ CA | 8 | 850 |
| 6″ | 8 | 500 |
| 6″ CA | 8 | 300 |

Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf#page=3. The 5-inch and 6-inch manual rows are historical references, not current model ratings: the September 2026 catalog changes configuration labels and operating data. Engineering must confirm the model, execution and applicable document before using these values.

**Historical manual power reserve (Table 4)**

The manual recommends these reserves when choosing commercial motors. The power bands retain the source unit cv (metric horsepower); they are not a pump-performance curve or a motor specification for every configuration.

| Power band (cv) | Recommended reserve |
|---|---|
| ≤2 cv | 50% |
| 3–5 cv | 30% |
| 6–10 cv | 25% |
| 11–25 cv | 15% |
| >25 cv | 10% |

Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf#page=4, Table 4. Confirm the selected operating point and motor with engineering.

The historic manual and September 2026 catalog report different temperature envelopes. Confirm the applicable document and execution with engineering; do not interpret the newer series temperature as a rating for every installed or catalogued pump.

Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf#page=4; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/assets/manuals/FB_Manual_Tecnico_FBE.pdf#page=5; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/catalogos/fbe-2026-09.pdf. Selection guide: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/recursos/artigos/selecao-bomba-engrenagem-viscosidade.

The site publishes performance tables for 18 model records across 10 connection sizes. Available speeds and points depend on the configuration; missing power values remain unspecified. FBE 5-inch and 6-inch records require engineering consultation for operating-point data. The 10-inch option is documented in the current catalog and available for consultation on the series page; it is not an additional model record.

### §3.2 FBEI — Internal Gear Pumps Series

The September 2026 FBEI catalog lists HL (1½ inch), KK (2 inch), LQ (2½ inch), LS (3 inch), M (4 inch) and N (6 inch). Earlier model records remain available for identification. LS is a model designation, not a separate “Large Size” series. Confirm the ordered configuration against its drawing and selection data.
- Published 2026 family maxima: 136 m³/h, 14 bar differential pressure, 140,000 cP and 340 °C. They are separate limits, subject to execution and duty.
- Selection: speed, pressure, viscosity, suction, materials, sealing and thermal preparation.
- Heating jacket and relief valve: confirm the specified accessories and their limits; a relief valve is not a flow-control device.

### §3.3 FBCN — Normalized Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps Series

The FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) lists 54 sizes in Table 1: 43 with dimensions in Table 7 and 11 with dimensions on request (the 100-500 and the 10 large-capacity models, 150-500 to 300-340). It states back pull-out construction and mechanical construction per ASME B73.1. Series maximums: 2,200 m³/h, 135 m and 3,500 rpm. Temperature: up to 260 °C in the operating data; in Table 1, with packing, −50 to 105 °C without a cooling chamber and up to 350 °C with a cooling chamber in sizes 25-150 to 150-315 (100-500 included). The maximum discharge pressure curves (Figures 1 and 2) run from −30 to 160 °C for the cast iron casing and from −50 to 260 °C for carbon steel and stainless steel. Each model has its own limits in the table.
To replace an installed centrifugal pump, FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN pump and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing.
- Confirm the selected hydraulic curve, speed, impeller diameter, NPSH, material, sealing and dimensional drawing.
- A .1 suffix is retained as a model designation; it does not by itself establish a pressurized cover or a seal-support system.

### §4.1 Series Selection by Fluid

Selection between gear and centrifugal pumps depends on flow, pressure or head, viscosity at operating temperature, suction conditions and materials. FBE and FBEI serve viscous fluids; FBCN serves centrifugal applications and FBOT thermal oil circuits. There is no universal 100 cP threshold: compare corrected curves, internal losses and power at the same duty point with engineering.

| Duty | Families to assess | Required checks |
|---|---|---|
| Water and compatible process liquids | FBCN / FBME | Duty point, suction, materials and solids |
| Viscous oils, asphalt and resins | FBE / FBEI | Viscosity at temperature, pressure, speed, thermal preparation |
| Organic thermal-oil circulation | FBOT | Fluid, temperature, pressure, materials and sealing |
| Fire-protection water | FBFS | Approved project, controls, curve and infrastructure |

These are starting points for selection, not suitability guarantees.

### §4.2 Series Selection by Industry

An industry name is not an operating specification. Use the application guides in §5 to identify the process data and then confirm the selected model with engineering. Do not assume chemical compatibility from “stainless”, solids-handling ability from a sealing arrangement, or fire approval from a product label.

### §4.3 Operating-Range Map

A model record is not a promise of current stock, delivery time or interchangeability. Series maxima must not be copied to individual model specifications. Use the selected curve, speed, impeller, materials and dimensional drawing.

Each series section links to the applicable catalog and manual. Compare limits under the same speed, impeller, temperature, viscosity and material conditions.

### §4.4 Standards and Acceptance Requirements

Applicable standards depend on the series and project: the FBCN manual (MTEC-03/00) states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; FBFS pump sets follow NFPA 20 or ABNT NBR 16704 when the specification requires it; API 610 is an engineered-to-order project scope. API, ASME, NFPA and ABNT publish the standards; they do not certify FB Bombas.

For procurement, record the required edition, configuration, acceptance criteria and proof. Requirements for the fire-water network, pump set, electrical installation, materials and testing have different scopes.

## §7. Technical Services & Application Engineering

Four post-sale services, published at /servicos: replacement of an installed pump with a complete FB pump, with an installation assessment, data sheet and dimensional drawing before the order; start-up and commissioning based on the manual and site conditions; bench performance testing with a scope defined for the project; and maintenance contracts for FB lines. Service format, checks, acceptance criteria and records are defined in the proposal. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### §7.1 Does FB Bombas offer application engineering for pump sizing?

Technical support delivered directly by the application engineering team in Cabreúva-SP — engineers specialized in industrial pumping answer technical questions, sizing and specification for B2B projects. Send the application inputs and identify unknown measurements so engineering can determine the next step. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/contato.

### §7.2 What technical deliverables does FB Bombas provide on a custom engineered project?

Application engineering supports EPCs, OEMs and integrators with CFD simulation and 3D modeling (outputs are published on the site), CNC machining at the factory and deliverables defined per project, such as data sheet, Q×H curve, dimensional drawing, sealing scheme, 3D model, materials specification, FAT plan and bench test certificate. The starting references are the 54 FBCN hydraulics in manual MTEC-03/00, the 12 FBE sizes in MTEC-01/01 and the 10 FBEI models in MAN001-10. The final proposal identifies which deliverables are included; a published capability does not promise every deliverable in every order. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/produtos/solucoes-especiais; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### §7.3 Does FB Bombas have CFD simulation and 3D solid modeling capabilities?

CFD and 3D modeling are described in the manufacturer’s engineering scope. Ask for the relevant deliverable, assumptions and acceptance scope for the selected project. Illustrations or web assets are not evidence of a validated simulation or test of every model. Manufacturer visualization: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/images/products/cfd/volute-3d-render.webp. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/certificacoes; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims.

### §7.4 Does FB Bombas supply spare parts for, or repair, pumps from other manufacturers?

FB supplies complete FB pumps and original parts for its own lines. It does not offer third-party spare parts or multi-brand overhaul. Replacing another installed pump requires comparing the duty point and real installation interfaces. To replace an installed centrifugal pump, FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN pump and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing.

### §7.5 Does FB Bombas perform on-site start-up and commissioning across Brazil?

Start-up and commissioning are planned from the selected manual, installation conditions and contracted service. Define alignment checks, instruments, control checks, responsibilities, records and site attendance in the proposal. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### §7.6 Is the FB Bombas performance test bench certified to a recognized standard?

The manuals define the hydrostatic test pressure for each series: FBE 10 kgf/cm² (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), FBOT 1.5 × operating pressure (MTEC-16/00) and FBCN per ANSI B73.1 (MTEC-03/00). Testing is performed on the factory bench; certificates and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal. Hydraulic performance testing and hydrostatic testing are different scopes. Confirm the applicable acceptance method, test points, tolerance, instrumentation, witnessing and report; a general service page is not an independent bench accreditation. Sources: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/api/llms-claims; https://www.fbbombas.com.br/certificacoes.

### §7.7 Are preventive and predictive maintenance contracts available?

Maintenance contracts for FB equipment are scoped to the installation, operating conditions and required service. Agree activities, intervals, measured indicators, reports, spare parts and response conditions. No universal stock guarantee, emergency response time or reduction in failures is inferred. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### §7.8 What is FB Bombas' geographic service coverage in Brazil and LATAM?

The website and sales support work in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and the Cabreúva-SP factory answers inquiries from Latin American buyers.

### §7.9 Can spare parts be purchased without a maintenance contract?

FB Bombas supplies spare parts for its own equipment. Identify the series, model, serial number and required component. Availability, scope, price and timing are confirmed in the quotation. Contact comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Source: https://www.fbbombas.com.br/servicos.

### §7.10 When is retrofit more advantageous than replacing the pump?

Compare the actual options for an FB installation using inspection, current duty, available parts, interfaces, energy, maintenance, downtime and proposal costs. A gain in efficiency, service life or payback needs measured inputs. For third-party equipment, FB’s scope is supply of a complete replacement pump, not multi-brand overhaul.

## §8. Provenance & Verification Sources

Manufacturer catalogs describe the published product scope. A standards-publisher page defines requirements and does not certify FB Bombas. Wikidata and directory entries identify or contextualize entities; they are not product test certificates. Supplier registration requires a current certificate with its scope and validity.
