Aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas
HS v2017 Code: 7613
About aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas
HS code 7613 covers the import and export of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of industries, including energy, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. As a versatile and durable material, aluminium is a popular choice for gas containers, offering superior strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties.
Production process
The production of aluminium gas containers typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium is melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast aluminium is then subjected to various forming and shaping techniques, such as extrusion, stamping, or deep drawing, to create the container bodies and closures. Finally, the containers undergo a series of quality control checks, including pressure testing and surface finishing, before being packaged and prepared for distribution.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of aluminium gas containers include raw aluminium, as well as various manufacturing equipment and tools, such as melting furnaces, extrusion presses, and stamping machines. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metalworking, engineering, and quality control processes.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 7613 is aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas, which are used in a wide range of applications, including 2804 Hydrogen, 2811 Carbon dioxide, and 2901 Hydrocarbons. These containers are essential for the safe and efficient storage and transportation of various industrial and commercial gases, supporting industries such as energy, manufacturing, and transportation.
