Product Description

Product Overview

The FB and AFB series stainless steel corrosion-resistant centrifugal pumps are single-stage, single-suction horizontal pumps made of high-quality stainless steel (1Cr18Ni9Ti). They feature advanced hydraulic design, compact structure, reliable performance, and superior corrosion resistance. The pump and motor are installed on a common base, ensuring smooth operation and easy maintenance. These pumps are suitable for transporting corrosive or clean liquids without solid particles at temperatures below 100°C.

FB / AFB Series Type Designation

AFB卧式不锈钢耐腐蚀离心化工泵T

Example: 100AFB-37A
100 — Pump inlet diameter (mm)
A — Improved corrosion-resistant design
FB — Stainless steel corrosion-resistant centrifugal pump
37 — Design head (m)
A — Impeller diameter modification code

Structure Description

The pump adopts a horizontal structure with suction inlet at the front and discharge outlet vertically upward. Both pump and motor are mounted on the same base plate. The impeller uses a back-curved design for high efficiency and low axial thrust. Bearings are lubricated by grease or oil, ensuring long service life and smooth operation. The shaft seal adopts a mechanical seal or soft packing seal according to application needs.

Start, Stop, and Operation

Start-up: Check bearings, seals, and rotation direction. Fill the pump casing with liquid before operation. Ensure inlet and outlet valves are properly adjusted.
During Operation: Maintain stable pressure, monitor vibration and noise, and ensure bearings remain below 75°C.
Shutdown: Close outlet valve first, then stop motor. Drain pump if temperature is below freezing.

Use of Mechanical Seal

Mechanical seals are suitable for clean or slightly contaminated media. Before starting, ensure adequate cooling water flow through seal chamber. Avoid dry running. If leakage occurs, replace worn seal rings immediately. When disassembling, do not scratch the sealing surface. After long-term storage, rotate the shaft manually before restarting.

Failure Causes and Solutions

Failure Cause Solution
No liquid discharge Pump not filled, air leakage, high suction lift Refill liquid, check suction line, lower installation height
Low flow Clogged impeller, suction blockage, air in line Clean impeller and suction pipe
Vibration Motor-pump misalignment, bent shaft Re-align shaft, replace if needed
Overheating Overload or bearing damage Reduce load, replace bearings
Seal leakage High inlet pressure Lower inlet pressure or adjust valve

Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti

(Excerpt from page 7 table showing corrosion performance for acids and alkalis)

Medium Chemical Formula Concentration (%) Temperature (°C) Resistance Grade
Nitric Acid HNO₃ 5–100 Boiling 1
Acetic Acid CH₃COOH 50–100 20–Boiling 1–2
Sodium Hydroxide NaOH 20–80 Boiling 1
Sulphuric Acid H₂SO₄ 40–80 Boiling 2–3
Hydrochloric Acid HCl 10–20 Boiling 3–4

Corrosion Resistance Grade

• Grade 1: Excellent resistance (corrosion rate ≤0.1 mm/year)
• Grade 2: Good resistance (0.1–1.0 mm/year)
• Grade 3: Moderate resistance (1.0–3.0 mm/year)
• Grade 4: Limited resistance (3.0–10 mm/year)

Order Information
