Aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas
HS v2022 Code: 7613
About aluminium; containers for compressed or liquefied gas
HS code 7613 covers the production and trade of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing essential packaging solutions for a wide range of industries, including energy, transportation, and industrial manufacturing. Aluminium containers are valued for their durability, lightweight, and corrosion-resistance, making them a preferred choice for the storage and transportation of various compressed and liquefied gases.
Production process
The production of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium alloy is melted and cast into the desired shape, often using advanced casting techniques such as extrusion or deep drawing. The cast aluminium components are then subjected to various forming and shaping processes, including stamping, rolling, and welding, to create the final container structure. Finally, the containers undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they meet industry safety standards and regulations.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of aluminium containers for compressed or liquefied gas include high-purity aluminium alloy, specialized manufacturing equipment (e.g., casting machines, stamping presses, welding tools), and various ancillary materials such as valves, fittings, and protective coatings. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metalworking, engineering, and quality control.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 7613 is aluminium containers for the storage and transportation of compressed or liquefied gases. These containers are widely used in a variety of industries, including 2804 Gases, inorganic, 2811 Other inorganic acids and other inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals, and 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons. The aluminium containers produced under this code are essential for the safe and efficient distribution of these vital industrial and commercial gases.
