About steam generators, (except central heating boilers) and parts thereof

cpc code 423 covers the manufacturing of steam generators, excluding central heating boilers, and their associated parts. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader energy and industrial sectors, providing essential equipment for power generation, industrial processes, and various other applications. Steam generators are a fundamental component in the production of electricity, steam, and heat, making them indispensable for the functioning of many industries and the overall economy.

Production process

The production of steam generators typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as steel, are carefully selected and prepared. The components, including the pressure vessel, tubes, and other parts, are then fabricated using specialized metalworking techniques, such as welding, cutting, and forming. The assembly of the steam generator is a meticulous process, ensuring the proper integration of all the components. Finally, the steam generator undergoes rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure its safety and efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steam generators include ferrous metals, primarily steel, as well as various other materials such as copper, aluminum, and specialized alloys. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, including welding machines, cutting tools, and precision measuring instruments. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and specialized tradespeople, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 423 is steam generators, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 351 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, 241 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, and 351 Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.. These steam generators are essential for generating steam, which is used in power plants, industrial processes, and various other applications.
