HS v2022 Code: 848410

About gaskets and similar joints; of metal sheeting combined with other material or two or more layers of metal

HS code 848410 covers the production of gaskets and similar joints made from metal sheeting combined with other materials or multiple layers of metal. These components play a crucial role in sealing and insulating various industrial and mechanical systems, ensuring their efficient and reliable operation. As a key part of machinery and equipment across diverse sectors, the 848410 industry is integral to the broader manufacturing and engineering landscape.

Production process

Gaskets and similar joints under HS code 848410 are typically manufactured through a combination of cutting, stamping, and layering processes. Metal sheets, often in combination with other materials like rubber or plastic, are precisely cut and shaped to form the desired gasket geometry. The individual layers are then assembled and bonded together, sometimes with the aid of adhesives, to create the final multi-layered product.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 848410 industry include metal sheets, such as steel, aluminum, or copper, as well as complementary materials like rubber, plastic, or fabric. Specialized machinery, such as cutting and stamping equipment, is also essential for the production of these components. Additionally, the industry relies on adhesives, sealants, and other bonding agents to assemble the final gasket or joint.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 848410 industry are gaskets and similar sealing components used in a wide range of applications, including 840120 Engines and motors, 842123 Machinery for filtering or purifying gases, and 848310 Transmission shafts and cranks. These products are essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of various mechanical systems, ensuring their efficient and reliable operation.
