CAEN Code 2420: Manufacture of tubes, pipes, hollow profiles and related fittings, of steel

This class includes:

• manufacture of seamless tubes and pipes of circular or non-circular cross section and of blanks of circular cross section, for further processing, by hot rolling, hot extrusion or by other hot processes of an intermediate product which can be a bar or a billet obtained by hot rolling or continuous casting
• manufacture of precision and non-precision seamless tubes and pipes from hot rolled or hot extruded blanks by further processing, by cold-drawing or cold-rolling of tubes and pipes of circular cross section and by cold drawing only for tubes and pipes of non-circular cross section and hollow profiles
• manufacture of welded tubes and pipes of an external diameter exceeding 406.4 mm, cold-formed from hot-rolled flat products and longitudinally or spirally welded
• manufacture of welded tubes and pipes of an external diameter of 406.4 mm or less of circular cross-section by continuous cold or hot forming of hot- or cold-rolled flat products and longitudinally or spirally welded, and of non-circular cross-section by hot or cold forming into shape from hot- or cold-rolled strip, longitudinally welded
• manufacture of welded precision tubes and pipes of an external diameter of 406.4 mm or less by hot or cold forming of hot or cold-rolled strip and longitudinally welded, delivered as welded or further processed by cold drawing or cold rolling or cold-formed into a shape for tubes and pipes of non-circular cross-section
• manufacture of flat flanges and flanges with forged collars by processing of hot rolled flat products of steel
• manufacture of butt-welding fittings, such as elbows and reductions, by forging of hot rolled seamless tubes of steel
• threaded and other tube or pipe fittings of steel
