Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel
NACE v2.1 Code: C24.2
About manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel
NACE code 24.2 covers the manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles, and related fittings made of steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader steel manufacturing sector, providing essential components for a wide range of industries, including construction, oil and gas, and transportation. The products of this industry are fundamental to the infrastructure and development of modern economies.
Production process
The primary production techniques used in this industry involve the shaping and forming of steel into various tubular and hollow profiles. This is typically achieved through processes such as seamless tube rolling, welding, and extrusion. Manufacturers may also employ advanced techniques like hydroforming and electromagnetic forming to create complex shapes and geometries.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the manufacture of steel tubes and pipes include raw steel, alloying elements, and specialized machinery. Steel producers and suppliers are the primary sources of the raw material, while manufacturers rely on advanced metalworking equipment, such as rolling mills, welding machines, and extrusion presses, to transform the steel into the desired products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are steel tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries. These products find applications in 25.1 Manufacture of structural metal products, 42.2 Construction of utility projects, 49.5 Transport via pipeline, and 06.1 Extraction of crude petroleum, among others. The versatility and durability of steel tubes and pipes make them essential components in the construction, energy, and transportation sectors.
