Tubes and pipes, of non-circular cross-section, welded, of steel

CPC v2.1 Code: 41288

About tubes and pipes, of non-circular cross-section, welded, of steel

cpc code 41288 covers the production of tubes and pipes with non-circular cross-sections, made from welded steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential components for a wide range of applications, from infrastructure projects to industrial machinery. The demand for these specialized steel products is driven by their durability, versatility, and ability to meet the unique requirements of various industries.

Production process

The production of tubes and pipes under cpc code 41288 typically involves a multi-step welding process. First, steel sheets or strips are cut and formed into the desired non-circular shape, such as square, rectangular, or oval. These formed sections are then welded along the seam, creating a seamless tube or pipe. Advanced welding techniques, including submerged arc welding and laser welding, are often employed to ensure high-quality, consistent welds that meet industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tubes and pipes under cpc code 41288 include steel coils or sheets, welding equipment, and specialized machinery for forming the non-circular shapes. Manufacturers may also rely on various tools, such as cutting and bending machines, to prepare the raw materials for the welding process. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including welders, machine operators, and quality control personnel, to ensure the efficient and high-quality production of these steel products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 41288 are tubes and pipes with non-circular cross-sections, made from welded steel. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 41289 Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of steel, n.e.c., 42111 Structural metal products and parts thereof, and 42121 Tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal. The versatility of these steel tubes and pipes allows them to be incorporated into a wide range of applications, from construction and infrastructure projects to industrial equipment and machinery.
