CPC v2.1 Code: 41285

About line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines, welded, of steel

cpc code 41285 covers line pipe used in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. This type of steel pipe is an essential component of the global energy supply chain, facilitating the transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products over long distances. The demand for 41285 line pipe is closely tied to upstream exploration and production activities, as well as downstream refining and distribution operations. As such, this industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader energy sector and enabling the flow of vital resources that power economies worldwide.

Production process

Line pipe classified under 41285 is primarily produced through a welding process. Steel coils or plates are cut to size, formed into a cylindrical shape, and then welded along the seam to create the pipe. Advanced welding techniques, such as submerged arc welding or electric resistance welding, are commonly employed to ensure the integrity and strength of the pipe. The finished product undergoes rigorous testing and quality control measures to meet industry standards and specifications before being transported to end-users.

Production inputs

The production of 41285 line pipe requires several key inputs, including steel raw materials, such as coils or plates, as well as specialized welding equipment and consumables. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced manufacturing technologies, such as computer-controlled cutting and forming machines, to ensure precision and efficiency in the production process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce capable of operating the specialized equipment and adhering to strict safety and quality protocols.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 41285 industry is line pipe used for oil and gas pipelines. These pipes are typically consumed by 41286 Line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines, seamless, of steel and 41287 Casing, tubing and drill pipe, of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas, of steel manufacturers, who incorporate them into larger pipeline systems. The line pipe produced under 41285 may also be used in other infrastructure projects, such as water distribution networks or industrial process piping.
