Containers for compressed or liquefied gas, of iron, steel or aluminium

CPC v2.1 Code: 4222

About containers for compressed or liquefied gas, of iron, steel or aluminium

cpc code 4222 covers the production of containers for compressed or liquefied gas, made of iron, steel, or aluminium. These containers play a crucial role in the storage and transportation of various industrial and commercial gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and propane. The demand for these containers is driven by the growing need for efficient and safe gas handling across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and energy production.

Production process

The production of containers for compressed or liquefied gas typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as iron, steel, or aluminium, are sourced and prepared. The metal is then shaped into the desired container form, often through processes like stamping, welding, or casting. The containers are then subjected to rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure their structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. Finally, the containers may undergo additional finishing steps, such as painting or coating, to enhance their durability and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of containers for compressed or liquefied gas include the raw materials (iron, steel, or aluminium), as well as specialized machinery and equipment for shaping, welding, and testing the containers. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to ensure the efficient and safe manufacture of these critical components.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 4222 is the containers themselves, which are then used to store and transport various compressed or liquefied gases. These containers are essential for a wide range of industries, including 2411 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 2420 Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products, and 2451 Manufacture of cement, among others. The containers produced under this code may also be used in the 4661 Wholesale of construction materials, hardware, plumbing and heating equipment and supplies and 4671 Wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and related products industries.
