About tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings, of aluminium

cpc code 41536 covers the import and export of tubes, pipes, and tube or pipe fittings made of aluminium. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Aluminium tubes and pipes are valued for their lightweight, corrosion resistance, and versatility, making them an essential component in a wide range of applications across the global economy.

Production process

The production of aluminium tubes and pipes typically involves several key steps. First, aluminium ingots or billets are heated and extruded through a die to create the desired shape and size of the tube or pipe. This process is known as extrusion. The extruded tubes or pipes may then undergo additional processing, such as cutting, bending, or welding, to create the final product. Specialized machinery and equipment are used throughout the production process to ensure consistent quality and precision.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium tubes and pipes include aluminium raw materials, such as ingots or billets, as well as various tools and equipment. This includes extrusion presses, cutting and bending machines, and welding equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities and maintain the high temperatures required for the extrusion process.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 41536 is aluminium tubes, pipes, and related fittings. These products are widely used in a variety of industries, including 41537 Structures and parts of structures, of aluminium, 41538 Reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, of aluminium, of a capacity exceeding 300 l, and 41539 Containers for compressed or liquefied gas, of aluminium.
