BLOG | BBA Pumps USA has its own website

BBA Pumps has two different English websites. You are currently on www.bbapumps.com. For North American pump users, we have bbapumpsUSA.com. In this blog we explain why we have two English websites.

• On the bbappumpsUSA.com website all information on the range of pumps and accessories is tailored specifically for the North American market;
• The technical data is given in the Imperial measuring system for the USA. At www.bbapumps.com we use the metric system;
• EPA emissions regulations for diesel-driven pumps are Tier 4 final. Worldwide, emission requirements vary from Stage II to Stage V;
• Our BBA Pumps Inc. team can respond faster without delays due to time differences between continents;
• This now makes it easier for us to focus on current events and pumping projects in North America.

BBA Pumps USA in brief  

We established the BBA Pumps Inc. operations in Charleston, SC back in 2010. Today, a large team of pump, service and logistics specialists are at your service. From this facility we can guarantee short delivery times across North America based on a large stock of portable pumping systems tailored to the market. Our international clients located outside North America are supplied with pumps and piping systems from our factory in the Netherlands.

Pump data in Imperial measurement units at bbapumpsUSA.com 

In the US, and partly in the UK, the imperial measurement system is used. In other parts of the world the metric system is standard. The table below provides an overview of the differences we encounter in the pump industry.

	metric units	imperial units	conversion
Pump flow	m3/h	gpm	1 m3/h = 4.4 gpm
Pump head	mwc	psi	1 mwc = 1.45 psi
Pressure	bar	feet	1 bar = 33.4 ft
Size	mm	inch	25,4 mm = 1 inch
Power	kW	hp	1 kW = 1.34 hp
Weight	kg	lbs	1 kg = 2.2 lbs
Distance	km	mile	1 km = 0.62 mile

  

Diesel driven pumps on bbapumpsUSA.com 

Emission regulations for combustion engines vary worldwide. Portable pumpsets in Europe must be powered by Stage V engines. In North America, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) requires engines that meet Tier 4 final. The diesel engines are often the same, but the after treatment systems and certifications differ, so the pump sets are not identical. At www.bbapumpsUSA.com you will find all details of pumpsets with Tier 4 final engines.
