Steel, stainless; cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), tubes and pipes of circular cross-section

HS v2017 Code: 730441

About steel, stainless; cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), tubes and pipes of circular cross-section

HS code 730441 covers the classification of stainless steel tubes and pipes of circular cross-section that have been cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced). This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential components for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment to infrastructure projects. The demand for these specialized steel products is driven by their superior corrosion resistance, durability, and versatility, making them an indispensable material in many industries.

Production process

The production of stainless steel tubes and pipes classified under HS code 730441 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel billets or ingots are heated and then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce the thickness and shape the material into the desired tube or pipe form. The cold-drawing or cold-rolling process further refines the dimensions and surface finish of the final product, enhancing its mechanical properties and precision.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 730441 products include high-quality stainless steel alloys, specialized rolling and drawing equipment, and various auxiliary materials such as lubricants and coolants. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on skilled labor, advanced production techniques, and strict quality control measures to ensure the consistent performance and reliability of their products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 730441 industry are stainless steel tubes and pipes of circular cross-section, which are widely used in a variety of applications. These products may be further consumed by industries such as 730431 (Steel, stainless; cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), tubes and pipes of circular cross-section, seamless), 730451 Steel, stainless; other tubes and pipes, welded, of circular cross-section, and 730459 Steel, stainless; other tubes and pipes, welded, of non-circular cross-section, as well as in the manufacturing of industrial equipment, infrastructure, and various consumer goods.
