Description
Product Overview
Three stage or above centrifugal pump. The impeller is installed back-to-back to balance axial forces, and the pressure chamber adopts a double volute design to balance radial forces.
The first stage double bladed wheel design is better suited for the needs of low cavitation environments. The pump is equipped with replaceable sealing rings, and the impeller has undergone static and dynamic balance testing.
The product design complies with API 610 standards. For lower-head refinery services, see our OH2 pump and BB1 pump — or review the full API Pump Selection Guide below.

How BB3 Pumps Work
BB3 pumps utilize multiple impellers arranged in series within a horizontally split casing. Each stage increases fluid pressure, enabling efficient transportation of liquids over long distances and at high operating pressures. For ultra-high pressure duties, consider the BB5 pump; for medium-pressure radially split designs, see the BB2 pump.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BB3 pump?
A BB3 pump is a horizontally split multi-stage centrifugal pump designed according to API 610 standards for high-pressure applications. See the API Pump Selection Guide to compare with OH2 pump, BB1 pump, BB2 pump and BB5 pump options.
What is the difference between BB3 and BB5 pumps?
BB3 pumps use a horizontally split casing, while BB5 pump utilizes a barrel-type casing for even higher pressure services. For single-stage refinery duties, consider OH2 pump or BB1 pump alternatives in our API Pump Selection Guide.
Where are BB3 pumps commonly used?
Refineries, petrochemical plants, pipelines, power stations, chemical processing industry facilities and industrial process plants. For refinery and petrochemical application guidance, see our petroleum & petrochemical solutions.
