What is the difference between Zone 1 and Zone 2?

Zone 1 means an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation. Zone 2 means it is not likely in normal operation but may occur in abnormal conditions. Both zones require explosion-proof equipment. Confirm zone classification with a certified safety consultant or EHS engineer.

What is CMRI and DGMS certification for pumps?

CMRI and DGMS are Indian regulatory certifications for explosion-proof electrical equipment in classified hazardous areas. For FPX-FP, CMRI/DGMS certificates are available on request based on the specific liquid, sealing arrangement, vapour group, and customer requirement.

What pump types are available with FLP motor?

The FPX-FP series can be configured across self-priming, centrifugal, vertical sump, mud pump, gear pump, multistage, and custom pump types. Monoblock FLP pumps are available on request.

What power sources are available for fire fighting pumps?

The FPX-FF fire fighting pump is available with electric motor, diesel engine, or steam turbine power source. Confirm primary, standby, and code requirements with your fire protection engineer.

What is the FPX-FF fire pump maximum capacity?

The FPX-FF fire fighting pump handles capacity up to 680 M³/hr, equivalent to 3000 US GPM, and pressures up to 24 bar or 348 PSI. It is available at 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

Can I use a standard centrifugal pump instead of a listed fire pump?

No. Fire protection standards require fire pumps specifically designed, tested, and listed for fire service duty. Do not substitute a standard centrifugal pump for a listed fire pump in a sprinkler or hydrant system.

Does the FPX-FP pump need CMRI/DGMS certification?

CMRI and DGMS certification is available on request for FPX-FP. Whether certification is required depends on application, site regulations, zone classification, liquid, sealing arrangement, and customer specification.

What liquids can the FPX-FP flame-proof pump handle?

The FPX-FP series is designed for petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, fuel oil, oil, and solvents in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. For other flammable liquids, confirm flash point, vapour group, and temperature class before specifying.

Where is the FPX pump manufactured?

The FPX Series is manufactured, assembled, and tested at the Shubham Industries production facility in Kuha, near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Shubham Industries is an ISO 9001:2015 certified industrial pump manufacturer established in 1987.

Why FPX

Why Flame-Proof and Fire Pumps Are Safety-Critical Specifications

A flame-proof pump is fitted with a motor enclosed to contain internal ignition without propagating flame to the surrounding atmosphere. FPX-FP handles classified hazardous area requirements, while FPX-FF covers fire protection systems that need dedicated fire pump selection and listing on request.

Flame-Proof vs Standard Motor

A flame-proof motor uses an engineered enclosure and flame paths to contain internal ignition and prevent propagation to flammable vapours around the pump.

Zone 1 and Zone 2 Classification

Zone 1 and Zone 2 describe the likelihood of explosive atmosphere presence. Confirm classification with a certified safety consultant before ordering FPX-FP.

Fire Pump Listing on Request

FPX-FF is selected for fire service duty where the pump, drive, and controller requirements must match NBC, NFPA 20, or local code requirements.

FPX Sub-Series

FPX-FP Flame-Proof Pump and FPX-FF Fire Fighting Pump

FPX covers two distinct categories. FPX-FP is for hazardous areas with explosion-proof motor requirements. FPX-FF is for fire sprinkler and hydrant systems where fire pump listing may be required by code or consultant.

Petrol, kerosene, diesel, and fuel oil transfer in refineries, fuel depots, filling stations, and storage facilities with classified Zone 1 or Zone 2 areas.

Solvent and Chemical Plant (FPX-FP)

Solvent transfer, recovery, and circulation in chemical plants, paint booths, coating facilities, and pharmaceutical solvent handling areas.

Petrochemical and Process (FPX-FP)

Process areas handling light hydrocarbons, petroleum fractions, and flammable process liquids where CMRI/DGMS certification is required on request.

Fire Sprinkler Systems (FPX-FF)

Water supply to automatic sprinkler systems in industrial, commercial, and high-rise buildings with electric or diesel driven fire pump arrangements.

Hydrant and Hose Reel Systems (FPX-FF)

High-pressure water supply to hydrant and hose reel systems in plants, warehouses, ports, and large commercial facilities.

Steam-Driven and Redundant Fire Systems (FPX-FF)

FPX Safety and Certification Notes

FPX-FP flame-proof pump certification (CMRI/DGMS) is available on request; it is not automatic. Confirm zone classification, liquid flash point, vapour group, and temperature class with your safety consultant. FPX-FF fire pump listing and testing requirements depend on NBC, NFPA 20, or local equivalent. Do not substitute a standard centrifugal pump for a listed fire pump in a fire protection system.

Selection Guide

FPX Flame-Proof and Fire Pump vs Other Series

Use FPX-FP when motor certification for a classified area is the deciding factor. Use FPX-FF when the duty is fire protection, not general water transfer.

FPX-FP vs SPX - Classified Area vs Non-Classified Fuel Transfer

SPX handles fuel and solvents in non-classified areas where standard motors are acceptable. FPX-FP applies flame-proof motor protection for Zone 1 or Zone 2 classified hazardous areas.

View SPX Series

FPX-FP vs IGX - Flame-Proof Any Type vs Standard Gear Pump

IGX handles metered oil and fuel transfer with a standard motor. For IGX-type duty in a classified area, specify FPX-FP with gear pump type and flame-proof motor.
