SD-400

The Framo SD-400 is a hydraulic‑driven submerged cargo pump delivering up to 400 m³/h, primarily used for crude oil transfer on VLCCs and other large tankers. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Submerged Cargo Pump, and it is normally installed in a cargo tank, pump well or cargo pump room with connections to the vessel cargo piping and control system. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to load, discharge, circulate or strip liquid cargo according to the vessel cargo arrangement. Submerged, deepwell and pump-room centrifugal designs differ in drive, shafting, sealing and tank interface, so the listed model must be checked against the cargo-system drawings. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: 400 m3/h. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
