Process pumps, compressors and rotating equipment
API and ISO-class process pumps, compressors, valves, bearings and gearboxes — sourced from Chinese OEMs serving chemical, oil & gas, power and water treatment plants worldwide.
Request a QuoteGeneral industrial equipment as project procurement
"General industrial equipment" is the procurement category for the rotating and process equipment that sits inside chemical, oil & gas, power, water treatment and pulp & paper plants. The big four are pumps (centrifugal, positive-displacement, slurry, vacuum), compressors (screw, centrifugal, reciprocating), valves (gate, globe, ball, butterfly, check, control) and gearboxes — plus the bearings, seals and couplings that keep them running.
The buyer in this category is usually a project EPC, an end-user maintenance team or an OEM packager — and the spec is usually anchored to API, ISO or ASME standards. API 610 governs centrifugal pumps for hydrocarbon service. API 618 governs reciprocating compressors. API 6D and API 600 govern pipeline and process valves. ISO 5199 governs general-duty pumps. The spec is the contract.
Sourcing Captain places general industrial equipment orders with Chinese OEMs that already hold the relevant API or ISO certification and that already serve global EPCs. We translate the data sheet into a buildable spec, witness the FAT, and ship a unit that the project's mechanical engineer will accept on first inspection.
Why API/ISO compliance is the whole game
A pump or compressor that does not match the API data sheet is not a pump or compressor — it is a project liability. The buyer's commissioning team will reject it. The insurance auditor will flag it. The end-user operations team will refuse to run it. The cost of an out-of-spec rotating-equipment shipment is measured in project delay and demob fees, not in the unit price.
A sourcing partner who works with API/ISO-licensed OEMs, witnesses the test bed run, and ships the certified test data with the unit converts that risk into a routine acceptance. For global EPCs sourcing from China, that is the value of the engagement.
Rotating equipment sourcing — six steps
Data sheet review
API/ISO data sheet read line by line — duty point, materials, seals, baseplate, instrumentation, certification.
OEM shortlist
Two or three Chinese OEMs holding the right API license and project track record.
Quote & contract
Locked-price contract with delivery schedule, inspection and test plan, witnessed FAT clause.
Build oversight
Material certification (mill certs, pressure test certificates) reviewed during build.
FAT
Witnessed test bed run against the data sheet — performance curves, vibration, NPSHr.
Logistics
Crating, export documentation and tracking to the destination project site.
Per-order deliverables
Performance test report
Witnessed performance test against the data sheet, with curves and uncertainty.
Hydrostatic test
Pressure test certificate to the relevant code.
Material certification
Mill certificates for pressure-containing parts (casing, impeller, shaft).
Drawing pack
GA drawing, sectional drawing and parts list as as-built.
O&M manual
Operating and maintenance manual with recommended spares.
Sourcing dossier
Supplier audit, FAT, certificates and export pack as a single PDF.
General industrial equipment FAQs
Which equipment families do you cover?
Centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps (API 610, ISO 5199, ISO 2858), screw and reciprocating compressors (API 619, API 618), centrifugal compressors (API 617), valves (API 6D, API 600, API 602, API 594), bearings, seals (API 682), gearboxes (API 613) and couplings (API 671).
API or ISO?
Both. Hydrocarbon and pipeline projects almost always run API. General process and water projects more often run ISO. We will work to whichever the buyer's spec calls for, with a supplier that holds the matching license.
Can you witness the performance test?
Yes — witnessed performance test is part of every contract for API/ISO equipment. We send a test engineer to the supplier's test bed and we host third-party witnesses on request.
Do you supply spare parts and consumables?
Yes — recommended spare parts list is part of the order, and we can stage spares with the unit or in our China warehouse for later release. Consumables (seals, bearings, lubricants) are part of the long-term support package.
How long are typical lead times?
Stocked pumps and small valves: 4–8 weeks. Engineered pumps and compressors: 16–28 weeks. Large reciprocating compressors and special-material rotating equipment: 26–40 weeks. We confirm a binding lead time at PO time.
