HS v2017 Code: 730792

About iron or steel; tube or pipe fittings, threaded elbows, bends and sleeves, other than stainless steel

HS code 730792 covers a crucial component of the global industrial and infrastructure landscape - iron or steel tube and pipe fittings. These threaded elbows, bends, and sleeves play a vital role in the interconnection and functionality of piping systems across a wide range of sectors, from oil and gas to construction and manufacturing. As a key enabler of efficient fluid and gas transportation, this industry is integral to the smooth operation of many industries that underpin the broader economy.

Production process

The production of iron or steel tube and pipe fittings under HS code 730792 typically involves a combination of casting, forging, and machining processes. Molten iron or steel is poured into molds to create the basic elbow, bend, or sleeve shapes, which are then subjected to further machining and threading operations to achieve the desired specifications and tolerances. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer numerical control (CNC) machining, may be employed to ensure precision and consistency in the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 730792 items include raw materials such as iron or steel, as well as specialized machinery and tools for the casting, forging, and machining processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the various production stages.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 730792 is a range of threaded iron or steel tube and pipe fittings, including elbows, bends, and sleeves. These components are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, such as 460110 Oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction, 422120 Plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, and 236220 Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, where they are used to connect and integrate piping systems for the transportation of fluids, gases, and other materials.
