CPC v2.1 Code: 42946

About barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel

cpc code 42946 covers a range of steel wire products used primarily for fencing applications. These products, which include barbed wire, twisted hoop wire, and loosely twisted double wire, play a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of secure perimeters and boundaries across various industries and sectors. As a key component of infrastructure development and agricultural operations, the demand for these steel wire products remains steady, contributing to the overall strength of the metal fabrication and construction supply chains.

Production process

The production of the steel wire products covered under cpc code 42946 typically involves a multi-step process. First, steel wire is drawn to the desired thickness and tensile strength. The wire is then either barbed, twisted into hoops, or loosely twisted into double strands, depending on the specific product requirements. These shaping and forming processes are often automated to ensure consistent quality and efficiency. Finally, the finished wire products may undergo additional treatments, such as galvanization, to enhance their corrosion resistance and durability.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the steel wire products under cpc code 42946 include high-quality steel wire, which serves as the primary raw material. Specialized machinery, such as wire drawing equipment, barbing machines, and twisting apparatuses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production facilities and maintain the necessary operating temperatures.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 42946 are the various types of steel wire products, including barbed wire, twisted hoop wire, and loosely twisted double wire. These outputs are primarily consumed by the 42945 Fencing, netting and wire products of iron or steel industry, as they are used in the construction and maintenance of fences, enclosures, and other security perimeters. Additionally, these steel wire products may be utilized in the 42944 Wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, of iron or steel, not electrically insulated industry for the production of more complex wire-based products.
