CPC v2.1 Code: 41291
About tubes, pipes and hollow profiles of cast-iron; tubes and pipes of centrifugally cast-steel
cpc code 41291 covers the production of tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles made from cast-iron and centrifugally cast-steel. These products are essential components in a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. They are used in applications such as plumbing, gas and oil transportation, and structural support, making them a crucial part of the global economy.
Production process
The production of tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles under cpc code 41291 primarily involves casting techniques. Cast-iron and centrifugally cast-steel are the main materials used, with the casting process shaping the molten metal into the desired tubular or hollow profiles. This process may involve the use of specialized molds and high-speed centrifugal forces to ensure the desired shape and structural integrity of the final products.
Production inputs
The key inputs for the production of tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles under cpc code 41291 include raw materials such as iron ore, scrap metal, and alloying elements like chromium and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized casting equipment, including furnaces, molds, and centrifugal casting machines. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the melting and casting processes.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 41291 are tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles made from cast-iron and centrifugally cast-steel. These products are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 42111 Structural metal products, 42112 Tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal, and 42113 Steam generators, except central heating hot-water boilers, among others. The versatility of these products makes them an integral part of many manufacturing and infrastructure projects.
