Tanks, reservoirs and containers of iron, steel or aluminium
CPC v2.1 Code: 422
About tanks, reservoirs and containers of iron, steel or aluminium
cpc code 422 covers the production of tanks, reservoirs, and containers made of iron, steel, or aluminum. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including manufacturing, energy, and transportation, by providing essential storage and containment solutions. These products are vital for the safe and efficient handling of liquids, gases, and other materials, contributing significantly to the broader economy.
Production process
The main production techniques used in this industry involve metal fabrication, welding, and specialized manufacturing processes. Manufacturers typically start with raw metal sheets or plates, which are then cut, shaped, and assembled into the desired tank, reservoir, or container designs. Advanced techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are often employed to ensure precision and consistency in the final products.
Production inputs
The key inputs required for the production of tanks, reservoirs, and containers under cpc code 422 include iron, steel, or aluminum raw materials, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for metal fabrication, welding, and assembly. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, energy sources, and various tools and accessories to support the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are the tanks, reservoirs, and containers themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries. These products may be used for the storage and transportation of 351 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude, 352 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude, 353 Gases, natural and manufactured, and other liquid or gaseous materials. The industry also produces specialized containers for the storage and handling of hazardous or sensitive materials.
