Iron or steel; cast fittings, other than of non-malleable cast iron

HS v2022 Code: 730719

About iron or steel; cast fittings, other than of non-malleable cast iron

HS code 730719 covers a wide range of iron or steel cast fittings, excluding those made of non-malleable cast iron. These fittings are essential components in various industrial and construction applications, playing a crucial role in the interconnection and distribution of pipes, tubes, and other metal structures. The global demand for these cast fittings is driven by the growth of the construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development sectors, making this industry a vital part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of iron or steel cast fittings typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as iron or steel, are melted in a furnace. The molten metal is then poured into molds, which are designed to create the desired shape and size of the fittings. After the metal has solidified, the cast fittings are removed from the molds and undergo various finishing processes, such as trimming, grinding, and polishing, to ensure the desired quality and appearance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of iron or steel cast fittings include iron or steel as the primary raw material, as well as various alloying elements and additives to enhance the properties of the final product. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized casting equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and finishing tools, as well as skilled labor to operate the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 730719 is a wide range of iron or steel cast fittings, including elbows, tees, couplings, flanges, and other types of connectors. These fittings are widely used in the construction, plumbing, and industrial piping systems, as they provide secure and reliable connections for the transportation of fluids, gases, and other materials. The output of this industry is often consumed by other industries, such as 730799 Iron or steel; tube or pipe fittings, not cast, 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, other than intake air filters for internal combustion engines, and 841990 Parts for industrial or laboratory furnaces and ovens, including incinerators, among others.
