Analysis
NAICS 333132 is the 2022 national industry for oil and gas field machinery and equipment manufacturing, part of 33313 (Mining and Oil and Gas Field Machinery Manufacturing). Census lists 10 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 622 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 28,571 people at an average annual payroll of $90,118 per employee (78th percentile of national industries). 23% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Mining and Oil and Gas Field Machinery Manufacturing, with 70% of them.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bits, rock drill, oil and gas field-type, manufacturing, christmas tree assemblies, oil and gas field-type…, derricks, oil and gas field-type, manufacturing and drilling equipment, oil and gas field-type, manufacturing, among 10 in all.
Its goods appear in 10 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 8431 (parts suitable for use solely or principally with the…), 8430 (other moving, grading, leveling, scraping, excavating…) and 8479 (machines and mechanical appliances having individual…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 336611, 333131 and 333914. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
