Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel

NACE v2.0 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, energy, transportation, and industrial machinery. 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 transformation of steel billets, blooms, or slabs into seamless or welded tubes and pipes. This is typically achieved through processes such as hot rolling, extrusion, or drawing. Specialized equipment, including rolling mills, piercing machines, and welding stations, is utilized to shape the steel into the desired hollow profiles and fittings.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the manufacture of steel tubes and pipes include steel raw materials, such as hot-rolled coils or sheets, as well as various alloying elements and consumables used in the production process. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery, equipment, and skilled labor to ensure efficient and high-quality output.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 24.2 are seamless and welded steel tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles, as well as related fittings and accessories. These products are widely used in the construction industry (41.2 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.1 Construction of roads and railways), the energy sector (35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution, 35.2 Manufacture of gas; distribution of gaseous fuels through mains), and the manufacturing of industrial machinery (28.1 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles), among others.
