Introduction

GENERAL

This publication presents all the data compiled in the

Current Industrial Reports (CIR) program for data year

1997. These data were originally released electronically

from March through December 1998. This publication

replaces all of the individual reports issued in the CIR

series for 1997.

Current data are released electronically on Internet for

all individual surveys as they become available. Use

http://www.census.gov/econ/www/manumenu.html. Individual reports can be accessed by choosing ‘‘Current

Industrial Reports (CIRs),’’ clicking on ‘‘Report Number

Index’’; from the ‘‘Industrial Products by Numeric Index,’’

choose the survey of interest. Follow the menu to view the

text (ASCII) file or Portable Data File (PDF) or to download

the worksheet file (WK format) to your personal computer.

Several years of data are presented for each individual survey. A printed ‘‘compendium’’ publication, including data

from all of the individual surveys, will be produced at the

end of the data year.

The CIR program has been providing monthly, quarterly, and annual measures of industrial activity for many

years. Since 1904, with its cotton and fats and oils surveys, the CIR program has formed an essential part of an

integrated statistical system involving the quinquennial

census of manufactures and the annual survey of manufactures. The CIR surveys, however, provide current statistics at a more detailed product level than either of the

other two statistical programs.

The primary objective of the CIR program is to produce

timely, accurate data on production and shipments of

selected products. The data are used to satisfy economic

policy needs and for market analysis, forecasting, and

decision-making in the private sector. The product-level

data generated by these surveys are used extensively by

individual firms, trade associations, and market analysts

in planning or recommending marketing and legislative

strategies, particularly if their industry is significantly

affected by foreign trade. Although production and shipments information are the two most common data items

collected, the CIR program collects other measures also

such as inventories, orders, and consumption. These surveys measure manufacturing activity in important commodity areas such as textiles and apparel, chemicals, primary metals, computer and electronic components,

industrial equipment, aerospace equipment, and consumer goods.

The CIR program uses a unified data collection, processing, and publication system. The Census Bureau

updates the survey panels for most reports annually and

reconciles the estimates to the results of the broaderbased annual survey of manufactures and the census of

manufactures. The census of manufactures provides a

complete list of all producers of the products covered by

the CIR program and serves as the primary source for CIR

sampling. Where a small number of producers exist, CIR

surveys cover all known producers of a product. However,

when the number of producers is too large, cutoff and random sampling techniques are used. Surveys are continually reviewed and modified to provide the most up-to-date

information on products produced. The CIR program

includes a group of mandatory and voluntary surveys.

Typically the monthly and quarterly surveys are conducted

on a voluntary basis. Those companies that choose not to

respond to the voluntary surveys are required to submit a

mandatory annual counterpart corresponding to the more

frequent survey.

FUNDING

The Census Bureau funds most of the surveys. However, a number of surveys are paid for either fully or partially by other Federal Government agencies or private

trade associations. A few surveys are mandated, but all

are authorized by Title 13 of the United States Code.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

Survey error may result from several sources including

the inability to obtain information about all cases in the

survey, response errors, definitional difficulties, differences in the interpretation of questions, mistakes in

recording or coding the reported data, and other errors of

collection, response, coverage, and estimation. These nonsampling errors also occur in complete censuses.

Although no direct measurement of the biases due to

these nonsampling errors has been obtained, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize their influence.

A major source of bias in the published estimates is the

imputing of data for nonrespondents, for late reporters,

and for data that fail logic edits. Missing figures are

imputed based on period-to-period movements shown by

reporting firms. A figure is considered to be an impute if

the value was not directly reported on the questionnaire,

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES INTRODUCTION I–1

U.S. Census Bureau
directly derived from other reported items, directly available from supplemental sources, or obtained from the

respondent during the analytical review phase. Imputation

generally is limited to a maximum of 10 percent for any

one data cell. Figures with imputation rates greater than

10 percent are suppressed or footnoted. The imputation

rate is not an explicit indicator of the potential error in

published figures due to nonresponse, because the actual

yearly movements for nonrespondents may or may not

closely agree with the imputed movements. The range of

difference between the actual and imputed figures is

assumed to be small. The degree of uncertainty regarding

the accuracy of the published data increases as the percentage of imputation increases. Figures with imputation

rates above 10 percent should be used with caution.

DATA REVISIONS

Statistics for previous years may be revised as the

result of corrected figures from respondents, late reports

for which imputations were originally made, or other corrections. Data that have been revised by more than 5 percent from previously published data are indicated by footnotes.

DISCLOSURE

The Census Bureau operates under Title 13 of the

United States Code, which prohibits the bureau from making ‘‘any publication whereby the data furnished by any

particular establishment or individual under this title can

be identified.’’ This rule prohibits the Census Bureau from

publishing data that enables a data user to derive detailed

information about an individual respondent. Therefore, in

the publication, a ‘‘D’’ appears in place of the sensitive

data value.

EXPLANATION OF GENERAL TERMS

Capacity. The maximum quantity of a product that can be

produced in a plant in 1 day if operating for 24 hours.

Includes the capacity of idle plants until the plant is

reported to be destroyed, dismantled, or abandoned.

Consumption. Materials used in producing or processing

a product or otherwise removing the product from the

inventory.

Exports. Includes all types of products shipped to foreign

countries, or to agents or exporters for reshipment to foreign countries.

Gross shipments. The quantity or value of physical shipments from domestic establishments of all products sold,

transferred to other establishments of the same company,

or shipped on consignment, whether for domestic or

export sale or use. Shipments of products purchased for

resale are omitted. Shipments of products made under toll

arrangements are included.

Interplant transfers. Shipments to other domestic

plants within a company for further assembly, fabrication,

or manufacture.

Inventories. The quantity or value of finished goods,

work in progress, and materials on hand.

Machinery in place. The number of machines of a particular type in place as of a particular date whether the

machinery was used for production, prototype, or sampling, or was idle. Machinery in place includes all machinery set up in operating positions.

Net receipts. Derived by subtracting the materials held at

the end of the previous month from the sum of materials

used during the current month.

Production. The total volume of products produced,

including: products sold; products transferred or added to

inventory after adjustments for breakage, shrinkage, and

obsolescence, plus any other inventory adjustment; and

products that undergo further manufacture at the same

establishment.

Quantities produced and consumed. Quantities of

each type of product produced by a company for internal

consumption within that same company.

Quantity and value of new orders. The sales value of

orders received during the current reporting period for

products and services to be delivered immediately or at

some future date. Also represents the net sales value of

contract change documents that increase or decrease the

sales value of the orders to which they are related, when

the parties concerned are in substantial agreement as to

the amount involved. Included as orders are only those

that are supported by binding legal documents such as

signed contracts or letter contracts.

Quantity and value of shipments. The figures on

quantity and value of shipments represent physical shipments of all products sold, transferred to other establishments of the same company, or shipped on consignment,

whether for domestic or export sale. The value represents

the net sales price, f.o.b. plant, to the customer or branch

to which the products are shipped, net of discounts, allowances, freight charges, and returns. Shipments to a company’s own branches are assigned the same value as comparable appropriate allocation of company overhead and

profit. Products bought and resold without further manufacture are excluded.

Stocks. Total quantity of ending finished inventory.

Unfilled orders (backlog). Calculated by adding net

new orders and subtracting net sales from the backlog at

the end of the preceding year.

HISTORICAL NOTE

The current M20A series of monthly reports, with

annual summaries of wheat ground and wheat milling

products, originated in May 1923. Data, by states, have

been published monthly since 1927. Beginning in 1931

and ending with the June 1947 report, monthly wheat

flour production by capacity groups was published. The

annual summary report during the years 1931 to 1964

also contained a table showing production by capacity

groups. Historical data may be obtained from the Current

Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry before 1959)

available at your local Federal Depository Library. Historical data are also available on microfiche; contact Customer

Services, 301-457-4100.

FUNDING

Since 1990, part of the cost of this survey has been

paid by ‘‘Milling and Baking News’’ published by Sosland

Publishing Company.

CONFECTIONERY (MA20D)

INTRODUCTION

The data on confectionery are from a survey that covers

all manufacturers in the United States producing consumer

type confectionery and chocolate products. Manufacturers

of cough drops, medicated candy, roasted peanuts,

unsweetened popcorn, and fountain syrup are excluded

from the survey. Small firms that manufacture confectionery for sale at retail on the premises are classified in retail

trade and are also excluded from this survey. Data for

chewing gum were included for the first time in the 1993

survey, but were excluded from all data prior to that time.

Table 9 summarizes the quantity and value of manufacturers’ shipments of total confectionery products over the

last decade. It also shows the average quantity and value

of confectionery consumed, on a per capita basis, in the

United States. Table 10 shows the quantity and value of

shipments of confectionery and nonconfectionery by the

type of product. Table 11 shows the quantity and value of

the materials that were consumed in the manufacturing

process. Apparent consumption figures are derived in

table 12 by subtracting the exports from the total manufacturers’ shipments plus the imports.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Total quantity of shipments of confectionery products

(excluding chewing gum, bubble gum, and chewing gum

base) for 1997 was 6,451.3 million pounds, compared to

6,364.6 million pounds in 1996, an increase of 1.4 percent. Total value of shipments of confectionery products

(excluding chewing gum, bubble gum, and chewing gum

base) for 1997 was $13,166.5 million compared to

$12,211.2 million in 1996, an increase of 7.8 percent.

The quantity of chocolate and chocolate-type confectionery shipped increased 0.8 percent, while the quantity

of nonchocolate-type confectionery increased by 2.0 percent. The value of chocolate-type confectionery shipped

increased 7.0 percent, while the value of nonchocolatetype confectionery increased 9.6 percent.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on confectionery products have been collected by

the Census Bureau since 1926. In 1989, data tables showing the quantity and value of shipments of chocolate and

nonchocolate-type confectionery, by type of product and

package, were discontinued. Also discontinued in 1989

were data showing the sales and resales of confectionery

by type of customer.

Starting with the 1990 report, data showing the quantity and value of shipments by type of product of other

chocolate products (nonconfectionery) were added. Starting with the 1993 report, data for chewing gum were

added.

Historical data may be obtained from Current Industrial

Reports (called Facts for Industry before 1959) available at

your local Federal Depository Library. Historical data are

also available on microfiche; contact Customer Services,

301-457-4100.

FUNDING

Since 1990, this survey has been conducted under the

sponsorship of the National Confectioners Association and

the Chocolate Manufacturers Association.

FATS AND OILS—OILSEED CRUSHINGS (M20J)

INTRODUCTION

Data on the fats and oilseed crushings were collected

by mail on Census Bureau monthly form M20J, Oilseeds,

Beans, and Nuts (Primary Processors) from a sample of

about 183 establishments. Approximately 168 of these

establishments are included in the monthly panel. An

additional 15 small crushers report data annually. Monthly

data for these small crushers are estimated based on their

annual reports and trends reported by those in the

monthly panel.

Statistics from the M20J forms show the amount of

selected raw materials crushed along with the production

and stocks of the byproducts extracted (crude oil and cake

and meal) during the crushing process. The crushing facilities are referred to as the Primary Processors. The data are

published monthly. Data on soybeans and cottonseeds are

shown for selected states.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Previously, the surveys M20J (Fats and Oils—Oilseed

Crushings) and M20K (Fats and Oils—Production, Consumption, and Stocks) were published together on an

annual basis. Prior to 1991, data were collected on a

monthly crop year basis starting from September 1 and

ending on August 31. In 1991, data were collected on a

quarterly calendar year basis starting on January 1 and

ending on December 31. Currently, data are collected on a

monthly calendar year basis starting from January 1 and

ending on December 31.

Data on fats and oils have been collected by the Census

Bureau since 1919. Historical data may be obtained from

the Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry

before 1959) available at your local Federal Depository

Library. Historical data are also available on microfiche;

contact Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

FATS AND OILS—PRODUCTION, CONSUMPTION,

AND STOCKS (M20K)

INTRODUCTION

Data shown in this subsection were collected by mail

on Census Bureau monthly forms: M20H, Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils (Warehouse Stocks); M20L, Fats and

Oils (Renderers); M20M, Animal and Vegetable Fats and

Oils (Consumption and Stocks); and M20N, Animal and

Vegetable Fats and Oils (Production, Consumption, and

Stocks).

The statistics from the M20H, M20L, M20M, and M20N

forms are published in the monthly report series M20K,

Fats and Oils—Production, Consumption, and Stocks. This

report focuses on the production and stocks of rendered

animal fats, along with the production and stocks of specified primary fats and oils and end products produced during the year. Also collected are the quantities of crude oil

consumed in the production of once-refined oil.

The universe for this survey was the 1992 Census of

Manufactures. Approximately 600 establishments are

included in the monthly mail panel. Additionally, approximately 580 small establishments report on an annual

basis. Monthly data for these small establishments are

estimated based on data reported annually and the trend

of other establishments reporting monthly.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

For the 1997 calendar year, the production of refined

soybean oil was 12,619.3 million pounds. This showed a

2.8-percent increase from the 1996 figure of 12,274.1 million pounds for refined soybean oil. The consumption of

soybean oil in end products was 12,813.6 million pounds,

a 4.0-percent increase from the 1996 figure of 12,322.3

million pounds. The production of refined cottonseed oil

was 796.4 million pounds in 1997. This represented a 9.1-

percent decrease from the 1996 figure of 875.8 million

pounds for refined cottonseed oil.

The production of refined corn oil was 899.1 million

pounds in 1997. This represented a 6.0-percent decrease

from the 1996 figure of 956.7 million pounds for refined

corn oil.

Also, for the calendar year 1997, the production of

refined peanut oil decreased 3.0 percent and the production of refined coconut oil decreased 8.7 percent. The production of refined rapeseed oil increased 56.3 percent. At

the same time, the consumption in end products of peanut

oil decreased 3.6 percent, while the consumption in end

products of coconut oil decreased 7.8 percent.

SCOPE OF SURVEY

This survey covers all firms producing or consuming

major edible and inedible fats and oils, and warehouses

storing these products. Following is a description of the

types of establishments included in this survey:

1. Establishments that use alkali refining or similar processes to clarify crude vegetable oils and remove

excess fatty acids.

2. Establishments that use animal fats or once-refined

vegetable oils in the production of edible fats and oils,

such as baking or salad or cooking oil, margarine, frying fats (shortening, mellorine fats, monoglycerides,

and diglycerides). In general, establishments consuming fully-refined edible fats and oils in the further

manufacture of food products are not included. In this

regard, salad dressing plants that use fully-refined

deodorized vegetable oils (salad oils) are not included;

nor are bakeries, salad oil blending plants, or potato

chip plants. However, similar establishments that

refine their own oils are included. With minor exceptions, reporting establishments are those equipped for

fats and oils processing that either remove undesirable material, or on a commercial scale, alter the color,

odor, or melting point.

3. Establishments using crude or once refined fats and

oils in such industrial products as soap, paint, varnish,

plastics, or other products containing substantial

amounts of fats and oils.

4. Establishments that render crude material into lard,

edible and inedible tallow and grease, either as their

primary operation or as an adjunct to meat packing.

5. Terminals and warehouses storing fats and oils in bulk

or in drums, including public and private storage.

Warehouses storing only end products such as packaged salad oil, lard, and shortening are not included.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Refined vegetable oils. Includes oils that have undergone an alkali or caustic wash or a similar process but

have not passed through a further stage of refinement.

Baking and frying fats. Baking and frying fats, commonly known as shortening, are animal or vegetable fats

or oils or combinations thereof, that have been deodorized or hydrogenerated and deodorized and that are sold

entirely for baking or frying purposes. They exhibit consistencies that may be fluid, plastics, or solid at room temperature.

Salad or cooking oils. Salad or cooking oils are vegetable oil products, completely liquid at room temperature, that have been deodorized or winterized and

deodorized.

Margarine. Includes only margarines which are ready for

table use or use by bakers.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Previously, the surveys M20J (Fats and Oils—Oilseed

Crushings) and M20K (Fats and Oils—Production, Consumption, and Stocks) were published together on an

annual basis. Prior to 1991, data were collected on a

monthly crop year basis starting from September 1 and

ending on August 31. In 1991, data were collected on a

quarterly calendar year basis starting on January 1 and

ending on December 31. Currently, data are collected on a

monthly calendar year basis starting from January 1 and

ending on December 31.

Data on fats and oils have been collected by the Census

Bureau since 1919. Historical data may be obtained from

the Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry

before 1959) available at your local Federal Depository

Library. Historical data are also available on microfiche;

contact Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

Chapter 2.

Textiles, Apparel, and Footwear

GENERAL INFORMATION

This chapter of the Manufacturing Profiles document

contains data for textiles, apparel, and footwear. In this

chapter data are provided that cover most of the major

segments of the textile industry. Data on selected finished

products, such as shirts, pants, carpet, or towels, and data

on the various stages of production are also included.

The first ‘‘step’’ in making most textile products is to

make yarn. Staple yarn is a bunch of fibers twisted and

spun together into a long, continuous strand. Staple fiber

is the term used to identify lengths of fibers which require

spinning and twisting in the manufacture of yarn. Staple

fibers are either natural fibers or manmade fibers cut to a

specific length. The Current Industrial Report entitled

MA22F, Yarn Production, collects data on the quantity of

yarn produced.

There are many different spinning systems used to

make yarn from staple fibers. The three most common

spinning systems are the cotton system, the woolen system, and the worsted system. Data are compiled on fiber

staples consumed on these three systems in the following

Current Industrial Reports: M22P, Consumption on the Cotton System and Stocks, and MQ22D, Consumption on the

Woolen and Worsted Systems.

The next phase of the textile manufacturing process is

fabric formation. Most fabric is either woven or knitted.

Current Industrial Reports have two series that collect

these data, MQ22T, Broadwoven Fabrics, and MA22K, Knit

Fabrics.

The last major phase is to cut the fabric and then sew

the pieces together into garments or other textile products. The Current Industrial Reports have a report entitled

MQ23A, Apparel, which provides data for most major garment categories. The series also has data on MA22Q, Carpet and Rugs, MA23D, Gloves and Mittens, and the

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Blends and mixtures. Fabrics made from more than one

fiber are classified in the same way as other fabrics, i.e.,

according to whether the fabric is chiefly cotton, wool, or

manmade fiber. For example, a fabric which is 55 percent

cotton and 45 percent rayon is classified in the cotton section; a fabric which is 40 percent cotton, 30 percent

rayon, and 30 percent acetate is classified in the manmade

fibers section. Blends and mixtures which are by weight

50 percent natural fiber and 50 percent manmade fiber are

classified as manmade fibers fabrics.

face twill with heavy, soft filling yarn, and a medium count

warp. A long nap is raised on the back.

Commission. Includes fabrics made from yarns owned

by others.

TEXTILE MACHINERY IN PLACE

There are data for three basic types of machinery in this

chapter : (1) cotton system spindles, (2) weaving

machines, and (3) knitting machines. Generally, the information collected is the number of machines in place and

the number of hours operated during the period.

‘‘Machines in place’’ are the number of machines that

are in producing positions at the end of the survey period,

regardless of whether they are actually operating. In the

case of spindles, the data are for the number of spindles

in place, not the number of spinning frames.

Where it is available, the hours of operation refer to the

number of hours the equipment was actually in use during

the survey period.

The information shown on spinning equipment is for

cotton system spinning machinery only. This type of information is not collected for woolen, worsted, or other spinning systems.

These data are compiled from information collected on

our MA22K, Knit Fabric Production; M22P, Consumption on

the Cotton System and Stocks; and MQ22T, Broadwoven

Fabrics (Gray) surveys.

STAPLE FIBER CONSUMPTION

Staple fiber is the term used to identify lengths of fiber

that require spinning and twisting in the manufacture of

yarn. They are either natural fibers or manufactured fibers

that are cut to a specific length. They are generally an inch

to an inch and a half long.

This chapter contains information on the amount of

fiber consumed on the cotton, woolen, and worsted spinning systems. These terms refer to the group of machinery used in the manufacture of spun yarn. Producing a

yarn is the first step in the manufacture of textile products.

Although the vast majority of staple fiber is spun on the

three systems for which data is collected, there is a small

amount of fiber consumed on other spinning systems.

There is also a small amount of staple fiber consumed

without spinning, in processes such as felting. Neither the

amount spun on other systems nor the amount consumed

by other means are included in these data.

Since these data are for staple fiber consumption, they

should account for nearly all of the cotton fiber and wool

(or other fine animal hair) consumed in domestic manufacturing, but only a portion of the manufactured fibers such

as rayon, acrylic, nylon, and polyester.

In the case of cotton in addition to information on the

consumption of cotton fiber, information is provided on

the consumption of cotton linters. Linters are the short

fibers that adhere to the cotton seeds after the first ginning. These are removed from the cotton seed by a separate process and are used in the manufacture of some

types of rayon and by the chemicals and paper industries.

The data on fiber consumption are collected in two surveys: MQ22D, Consumption on the Woolen System and

Worsted Combing and M22P, Consumption on the Cotton

System and Stocks. In all cases, the information in this

chapter is presented for the consumption of a specific

type of fiber. Additional information is presented depending on the fiber.

CONSUMPTION ON THE COTTON SYSTEM (M22P)

INTRODUCTION

The tables in this subsection present data on the fiber

consumed in cotton system spinning. Cotton system spinning is a process of manufacturing cotton fiber into yarn.

It includes the general operations of opening, picking,

carding, drawing, roving, and spinning. In making combed

yarns, three steps are added. The system is also used

extensively for spinning manufactured fibers and blends.

The data in these tables are collected using two questionnaires; the M22P, Consumption on the Cotton System

and Stocks, and the M22N, Cotton and Raw Linters

in Public Storage. Much of the data shown reflect the

interest in cotton as an important agricultural and export

commodity.

The fiber data in these tables are shown in two basic

units of measure, running bales and pounds. Bale weights

do vary, but they average around slightly over 500 pounds

for cotton and from 610 to 620 pounds for linters. Data

for stocks in public storage are collected only in bales,

and data for manufactured fiber are collected only in

pounds.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on cotton consumption and stocks have been

collected by the Census Bureau since 1912. Except for

1991, which was done on a quarterly basis, the entire

series is monthly. Historical data may be obtained from

Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry before

1959), available at your local Federal Depository Library.

Historical data are also available on microfiche; contact

CONSUMPTION ON THE WOOLEN SYSTEM AND WORSTED COMBING (MQ22D)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover all establishments consuming fibers in

woolen spinning and/or producing tops and noils, including commission work on materials owned by others (fibers

laid in mixes for commission spinning on the woolen system, and commission top making).

Woolen and worsted spinning systems are frequently

studied together since both are used to spin wool. The primary differences between the two systems are that yarns

spun on the worsted system are combed in order to

remove the short fibers or noils and to make the individual fibers more parallel. This produces a yarn that is

more tightly twisted and of finer texture. This yarn is generally used to produce fabric that is more tightly woven,

with a smoother finish and with a crisper hand.

Fabrics made from yarns spun on the woolen system

are typically characterized by softness or bulk. The fabrics

are frequently knitted or woven into plain or twill weaves

and are generally subjected to considerable finishing to

enhance the texture.

Both of these systems are used to produce yarn of

manufactured fibers and blends, as well as wool. For

example, while very little carpet yarn is still wool, much of

it is spun on the worsted system.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on the consumption of staple fibers on the woolen

and worsted systems have been collected by the Census

Bureau since 1919. Prior to 1990, the survey was conducted on a monthly basis. Beginning in 1991, the survey

became quarterly. Historical data may be obtained from

Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry before

1959) available at your local Federal Depository Library.

Historical data are also available on microfiche; contact

Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

YARN PRODUCTION (TEXTURED AND SPUN) (MA22F)

INTRODUCTION

Yarn production is the first stage in the textile manufacturing process. Yarn is a continuous strand of textile fibers

and is the basic material that is made into fabrics, thread,

twine, or cable. It can be woven, knitted, crocheted,

braided, etc.

There are two basic classes of yarn: spun yarn or continuous filament yarn. This subsection of the report provides data on spun yarn and textured filament yarn. Textured yarn has been either bulked, crimped, heat set, or

subjected to some other process intended to give the yarn

fullness, stretch, etc. Data are not included that relate to

the production of flat filament yarn, which is generally

considered to be a chemical manufacturing process.

The data are presented by end use, by fiber, and by

spinning system.

Revised by 5 or more percent from previously published data.

Note: For 1993, a number of companies were added based on information in the 1992 Census of Manufactures. Data were received from these

establishments for 1992; therefore, information shown for years prior to 1992 may not be directly comparable. These changes represent approximately

1.2 percent of total spun yarn production, and 3.5 percent for textured, crimped, or bulked filament yarn.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on the production of spun, textured, bulked, and

crimped yarns have been collected by the Census Bureau

since 1960. Historical data may be obtained from Current

Industrial Reports at your local Federal Depository Library.

Historical data are also available on microfiche; contact

Customer Services, 301-457-4100. Additional information

(employment, payroll, cost of materials, capital expenditures, inventories, etc.) on these yarns is available in both

the census of manufactures and the annual survey of

manufactures.

FABRICS PRODUCTION

GENERAL

Although there are a number of ways to manufacture

fabrics, the two most common are knitting and weaving.

The data collected on fabrics production are for knitted

and broadwoven fabrics.

1995............. 4,882 2,131

1994............. 4,926 2,212

1993............. 4,825 2,188

Note: Data for broadwoven fabrics were collected in thousands of

square yards. Data shown here in pounds are based upon conversion

ratios derived from the MC22T survey, Average Weight and Width of

Broadwoven Fabrics, issued May 1998.

The table in the preceding column is a summary of knit

fabrics production and broadwoven fabrics production for

the last 5 years.

Knitting is a method of constructing fabrics by interlocking a series of loops of one or more yarns. The two

main types of machine knitting are weft and warp. Data

are presented, by fiber, for both types.

The data for woven fabrics are only for broadwoven

fabrics. Broadwoven fabrics are at least 12 inches wide.

Although this is the majority of the fabrics produced, it

does exclude the narrow fabrics used for items such as

seat belts, webbing, bindings, zippers, and labels. At one

time, the Current Industrial Report series included narrow

fabrics, but that survey was canceled in the late 1980’s.

The data on broadwoven fabrics are collected by type of

weave and type of fiber. The categories for this, as with

much of the textile data, are structured to be as compatible as possible with the data collected on imports and

exports.

BROADWOVEN FABRICS (MQ22T)

INTRODUCTION

The data shown in the following tables were collected

in the MQ22T, Broadwoven Fabrics, survey. The survey

covers all companies manufacturing broadwoven fabrics

(gray) in the United States, except those very small

companies (generally with less than five employees) for

which census of manufactures data were derived from

administrative records.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on the production of broadwoven fabrics have been

collected by the Census Bureau since 1943. Historical data

may be obtained from Current Industrial Reports (called

Facts for Industry prior to 1959) at your local Federal

Depository Library. Historical data are also available on

microfiche; contact Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

Additional information (employment, payroll, cost of materials, capital expenditures, inventories, etc.) on broadwoven

fabrics is available in both the census of manufactures and

the annual survey of manufactures.

KNIT FABRICS PRODUCTION (MA22K)

INTRODUCTION

The data from the MA22K, Knit Fabrics survey, include

all firms producing knit fabrics whether for sale, for own

use, or on commission. It excludes very small firms (generally those with less than five employees) for which data

for the census of manufactures were derived from administrative records.

The data for production includes all knit fabrics off the

knitting machine whether as yard goods, circular sweater

strips, or full fashioned garment sections. It also includes

the production of fabrics that are finished within the same

plant and shipped as finished garments. It does not

include hosiery.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

For own use. Includes cloth that is cut, cut and sewn, or

further fabricated within the plant knitting the cloth.

For sale. Includes knit cloth that is sold to other plants of

the same company for finishing, and to other firms or

plants not affiliated with the same company.

On commission. Includes fabrics made from yarn owned

by others.

See additional explanation of terms at the beginning of

this chapter.

For 1993, a number of companies were added based on information in the 1992 Census of Manufactures. Data were received from these establishments for 1992; therefore, information shown for years prior to 1992 may not be directly comparable. These changes represent approximately 4.8

percent of total knit fabric production.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on the production of knit fabrics have been collected by the Census Bureau since 1966. Historical data

may be obtained from the Current Industrial Reports available at your local Federal Depository Library. Additional

information (employment, payroll, cost of materials, capital expenditures, inventories, etc.) on knit fabrics is available in both the census of manufactures and the annual

survey of manufactures. Historical data are also

available on microfiche; contact Customer Services,

301-457-4100.

INTRODUCTION

The statistics in this subsection represent total U.S. production of most major garments. Hosiery, headwear, neckwear, fur garments, leather garments, and accessories are

not included in this survey. Data on the quantity and value

of shipments of gloves and mittens are collected separately and shown in separate tables at the end of the

apparel section.

The apparel industry is characterized by three types of

operations — manufacturers, jobbers, and contractors.

The functions of the establishments classified as manufacturers include purchasing materials, cutting and sewing

the product within the manufacturer’s establishment, and

selling the finished product. The functions of the jobber,

like those of the manufacturer, involve buying raw materials and marketing the finished product. However, unlike

the manufacturer, a jobber has a large part of the actual

processing of the product done under contract in an outside factory. Finally, the function of a contractor is to make

products in his establishment according to clearly defined

specifications, from materials owned by others. A contractor, unlike the manufacturer or jobber, does not own the

finished product and does not become involved in the

actual sale of the finished goods.

The purpose of this survey is to provide the total

domestic quantity produced and value of shipments for

each type of garment. Since collecting this information

from all three types of establishments would result in substantial duplication, only manufacturers and jobbers are

surveyed.

One other form of manufacturing apparel that is

becoming more and more significant is what we refer to

as ‘‘9802’’ (formerly 807) production. For ‘‘9802’’ production, a domestic manufacturer or jobber buys fabrics and

cuts a garment domestically, and then exports the cut

pieces to be sewn. The completed garment is then

imported. Under special tariff provisions, duty is paid only

on the value added rather than on the whole garment. The

quantity and value of these garments are included in the

comparison of SIC-based codes with Schedule B export numbers and HTSUSA import numbers, see ‘‘Contact for Data Users’’ at end of this subsection.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on apparel have been collected by the Census

Bureau since 1923. In 1955, the MA23A apparel series

consolidated, on an annual basis, five separate series that

were formerly conducted independently (between 1923

and 1954). The 1968 apparel report was the first in this

series to show quantity and value for each major product

description. Previously, only product code values and/or

production data were published.

For the years 1980 through 1985, similar data were

published separately as MA23E, Men’s and Boys’ Outerwear, MA23F, Women’s and Children’s Outerwear, and

MA23G, Underwear and Nightwear. Prior to 1984, data on

foundation garments were published separately as MA23J,

Foundation Garments.

The data were again published on an annual basis from

1986 through 1989 as the MA23A. Since 1990, the data

have been published quarterly as the MQ23A. The annual

summary shows any revisions to the quarterly data.

Data on gloves and mittens have also been collected

since 1923. They are collected on MA23D, Gloves and Mittens.

Additional information for the apparel industry

(employment, payroll, cost of materials, capital expenditures, inventories, etc.) is also collected by the Census

Bureau and is shown in the census of manufactures and

the annual survey of manufactures series.

BED AND BATH FURNISHINGS (MQ23X)

(Formerly Sheets, Pillowcases, and Towels)

INTRODUCTION

The data shown for sheets, pillowcases, and towels are

for finished products. They do not include sheeting fabrics

that may be used later in items such as comforter sets.

However, included is a category for terry towel blanks,

which are generally sold for further embellishment.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Distribution Channels

Branded retail. Sales of company brands, including premium goods, drops (closeouts), and seconds sold to

domestic consumers through all types of retailers.

Private ticket retail. Sales with retail identification, with

or without a manufacturer’s corporate identification, but

not with a manufacturer’s brand name.

Other (institutional). Includes domestic distribution

only and includes all federal and state contract business,

commercial accounts (e.g., hotels) that are sold on a contract basis, and shipments to dealers who are involved in

resale to the institutional trade.

Exports. Includes only direct company shipments for

export, usually through a domestic international sales corporation, regardless of put-up or packaging. Export shipments through jobbers or distributors are included in the

other categories (e.g., branded or private ticket).

on hand, plus those held at private or public warehouses

by the manufacturers who own the goods.

Products

or other items.

Kitchen accessories. Includes items such as terry cloth

aprons, pot holders, dish cloths, and toaster covers.

Towel blanks. Includes towels sold for further processing

elsewhere. The figure reported for finished terry woven

towels includes towel blanks; thus, both sets of data are

not additive.

weaves, prints, embroidered, and attached or embellished

hems. Excludes solid color, white dobby, and white cam.

HISTORICAL NOTE

The annual MA22Q, Carpet and Rugs, was published for

6 years, 1962 to 1967. The semiannual, M22L, Tufted Textile Products, was initiated in 1951 and was published for

17 consecutive years. Both of these surveys were discontinued at the end of 1967 when the quarterly survey,

MQ22Q, was established. The collection of data on a quarterly basis, for this series, began with the first quarter of

1968 and continued until 1985. (Also, for the years 1988

and 1989, the quarterly survey was conducted.) Since

1986, the series has been published as an annual, MA22Q,

Carpet and Rugs. Historical data are also available on

microfiche; contact Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

2-96 TEXTILES, APPAREL, AND FOOTWEAR 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
FOOTWEAR (MQ31A/MA31A)

INTRODUCTION

The ‘‘Footwear’’ series includes data on the production,

quantity, and value of shipments for various types of footwear. Included in these data are footwear that are cut in

the United States, exported for sewing, and imported

under special tariff provisions number 9802.

These data are intended to represent domestic manufacturing. In some cases, domestic manufacturers who

also import completed products have difficulty separating

their shipment data. Every effort is made to ensure that

the shipment data include only domestically manufactured

footwear, but the data user should be aware that the shipment data could include some imported footwear.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Nonrubber footwear production for 1997 totaled 123.7

million pairs, a 3.4-percent decrease from the 1996 production of 128.0 million pairs. Of the total 1997 production, 39.8 million pairs were men’s, 0.4 million pairs were

youth’s and boys’, 32.0 million were women’s, 0.3 million

were misses’, and 2.0 million were children’s shoes.

In 1997, 39.2 million pairs of slippers were produced, a

6.4-percent increase from the 1996 production of 36.7

million pairs.

For 1993, a number of companies were added based on information in the 1992 Census of Manufactures. Data were not collected from these

establishments for 1992; therefore, information shown for years prior to 1992 may not be directly comparable. These changes represent approximately

2.7 percent of total rubber and plastics footwear production. Puerto Rican manufacturing facilities, also newly included for 1993, represent approximately 1.3 percent of nonrubber footwear production and less than 1 percent of total footwear production.

Note: For 1994, Puerto Rican manufacturing facilities accounted for approximately 1 percent of nonrubber footwear production and less than 1

percent of total footwear production.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on footwear have been collected in this program

since 1921. For some period, data were collected monthly,

with a more comprehensive survey done annually. In

1991, due to budget reductions, the monthly program was

canceled and replaced with a quarterly survey that collected similar data. Historical data may be obtained from

Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry before

1959) available at your local Federal Depository Library.

Historical data are also available on microfiche; contact

Customer Services, 301-457-4100.

LUMBER PRODUCTION AND MILL STOCKS (MA24T)

INTRODUCTION

The Current Industrial Report on lumber production and

mill stocks is a cut-off sample survey that canvasses

approximately 2,000 establishments engaging in sawmill

activity. Establishments are included in this survey even if

the operation of the sawmill is a secondary activity. For

example, a furniture manufacturer that manufactures the

lumber they use to make furniture is considered as operating a sawmill and is in scope of this survey.

All sawmills producing lumber, sawed ties, and timbers

from roundwood, whether sawed for their own use, sawed

on contract for others, custom sawed, or sawed for sale

are considered in scope of this survey. All sawmills with

hardwood lumber production greater than or equal to 2

million board feet or softwood lumber production greater

than or equal to 5 million board feet are included in this

survey.

Since the MA24T survey is a cut-off sample, the panel

does not include the entire universe of lumber manufacturers. The universe was calculated for 1994 based on the

MA24T database, the 1992 Census of Manufactures, and

state sawmill directories. The difference between the universe and the sample is the block estimate. The block estimate is carried forward by multiplying each cell of the

block estimate by the rate of change of each cell for the

sample. This new block estimate is added to the figures

for the sample and any new lumber producers to calculate

subsequent total production and inventories for all U.S.

sawmills.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Production of lumber in the United States amounted to

47.3 billion board feet in 1997, 5.7 percent above the

1996 level of 44.8 billion board feet.

Eastern lumber production was 29.4 billion board feet

in 1997, 4.6 percent above the 1996 level of 28.2 billion

board feet. Southern yellow pine production amounted to

15.7 billion board feet in 1997, a 4.5-percent increase

from the 15.1 billion board feet in 1996. Production of

eastern hardwoods, at 10.7 billion board feet in 1997, was

4.2 percent below the 1996 level of 10.2 billion board

feet.

Western lumber production was 17.9 billion board feet

in 1997, an increase of 7.7 percent, from the 1996 production level of 16.6 billion board feet. Production of

western softwoods increased in 1997 by 7.7 percent to

17.4 billion board feet. Total western hardwood production increased by 5.1 percent.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Lumber. Timber sawed into beams, planks, boards, pallets stock, etc., of convenient sizes. Lumber is collected in

this report in board feet. A board foot is a linear measure

of lumber equal to a board 1-foot square and 1-inch thick.

Hardwood lumber. Wood obtained from a class of trees

known as angiosperms (having seeds produced within a

closed pod). These trees are characterized by broad leaves

and are usually deciduous in the temperate zones. Some

examples of hardwood lumber include such trees as oak,

yellow-poplar, maple, gum, and ash.

Softwood lumber. Wood from coniferous trees whose

leaves are needle-like. Some examples of softwood trees

are pine, fir, cedar, redwood, and spruce.

Eastern hardwoods and softwoods. Those species of

trees that are grown and harvested in states considered

part of the eastern United States.

Western softwoods. Those species of trees that are

grown and harvested in states considered part of the

western United States.

REFRACTORIES (MA32C)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this section are from a survey of all companies engaged in the manufacture of refractories. The survey panel for this survey includes all known manufacturers of refractories, approximately 200 companies. Data

are collected in quantity and value of shipments. Quantity

of shipments is measured in short tons, metric tons, and

M bricks (thousand 9-inch equivalent). Related imports

and exports are also shown.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, total manufacturers’ shipments of refractories

amounted to $2,403 million, an increase of 3 percent,

from $2,341 million in 1996.

Shipments of clay refractories increased 4 percent to

$968 million in 1997, from $930 million in 1996. Clay

refractories shipments accounted for 40 percent of total

refractories shipments in 1997 and 1996.

Shipments of nonclay refractories increased 2 percent

to $1,436 million in 1997, from $1,411 million in 1996.

Nonclay refractories shipments accounted for 60 percent

of total refractories shipments in 1997 and 1996.

Brick and shapes continue to be the dominate form of

refractories, showing an increase of 1 percent to $1,350

million in 1997, from $1,340 million in 1996. Unshaped

clay refractories increased 5 percent to $355 million in

1997, from $338 million in 1996. Mortars decreased 21

percent to $30 million in 1997, from $38 million in 1996.

Plastic refractories and ramming mixes increased 10 percent to $165 million in 1997, from $150 million in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Unit of measure. Data for quantity of shipments have

been collected in two distinct units of measure. Shipments

of all refractories are collected in metric tons, and shipments of brick and shapes are also collected in thousand

9-inch equivalents. (A 9-inch equivalent is a solid volume

of 101.25 cubic inches.) For ease of comparison, the metric tons data have been multiplied by the appropriate factor (1.103) to derive the short tons figures.

High alumina brick and shapes (50 percent to 87.5

percent Al203). Brick and shapes made substantially of

calcined diaspore or bauxite. Calcined as applied to

diaspore and bauxite implies heat treatment short of

fusion for volume stability prior to use in a refractory

product. In the process, volatile materials are driven off

and chemical changes take place.

Ladle brick. Alumina ladle brick less than 50 percent

Al203.

High alumina ladle brick. Ladle brick containing 50 percent or more Al203.

Sleeves, nozzles, runner brick, tuyeres, and side

grate brick. Includes nozzles and sleeves described in

American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) C-435,

runner brick, tuyeres, and slide gate brick, externally

applied, all compositions.

Refractory bonding mortars, wet and dry tapes.

Includes both air-setting and heatsetting bonding mortars

that contain up to 60 percent Al203, dry basis, by analysis.

Plastic refractories and ramming mixes. Includes

products referred to as plastic fire brick and the lessplastic materials intended for ramming into place after the

addition of water (when shipped in dry form) containing

less than 50 percent Al203.

High alumina plastic refractories and ramming

mixes. Plastic refractories and ramming mixes containing

50 percent to 87.5 percent Al203.

Clay castable refractories (hydraulic setting).

Hydraulic setting castables containing up to 50 percent

Al203 and made from calcined fireclay, diaspore or bauxite

base, and Portland or calcium aluminate cements.

Castables based on mullite, fused or tabular alumina, or

other nonclay materials are excluded.

High alumina castable refractories (hydraulic setting). Castable refractories containing more than 50 percent Al203 excluding those based on mullite or extra-high

alumina.

Insulating castables. Hydraulic setting castables

designed for low thermal conductivity and having bulk

densities as defined in ASTM Classification C-401 no

greater than 105 pounds per cubic foot.

Fireclay gunning mixes. Alumina-silicate compositions

up to 50 percent Al203, specifically engineered for gunning applications; may include hydraulic setting or other

chemical bonding agents.

Molten cast refractories. Products made by fusing

refractory oxides, as in an electric furnace, and pouring

the molten material into molds to form finished shapes.

Magnesite and magnesite-chrome brick and shapes

(magnesite predominating; products analyzing

greater than 55 percent Mg). Pitch-bonded magnesite

and magnesite-dolomite brick (magnesite predominating),

not including burned impregnated brick, molten cast magnesite and magnesite-chrome brick and shapes, or those

made of fused magnesia.

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES BUILDING MATERIALS 3-7

U.S. Census Bureau
Chrome and chrome-magnesite brick and shapes.

Chrome predominating products analyzing no more than

55 percent Mg. Molten cast chrome and shapes are

excluded.

Mullite brick and shapes. Mullite brick and shapes

made predominantly of kyanite, sillimanite, and alusite, or

synthetic mullite (excluding molten cast).

Extra-high alumina brick and shapes (over 87.5 percent Al203). Products made predominantly of fused bauxite or fused or dense-sintered alumina. Molten cast extrahigh alumina brick and shapes are excluded.

Fused. As applied to bauxite and alumina, fused means

melting, as in an electric furnace; after cooling, the product is crushed and graded for use in the refractory.

Dense-sintered alumina. Refers to heat treatment (short

of melting) of alumina to render it relatively volume-stable

for use in a refractory.

High alumina mortars. Mortars containing more than 60

percent Al203.

Other nonclay mortars. Includes sterite, zircon, zirconia, and mullite.

Nonclay castable refractories (hydraulic setting).

Hydraulic setting castables made from nonclay refractory

materials and Portland or calcium aluminate cements.

Basic nonclay gunning mixes. Includes chrome,

chrome-magnesia, and dolomite gunning mixes.

Other nonclay gunning mixes. Includes extra-high alumina, mullite, zircon, and other gunning mixes.

CLAY CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS (MQ32D)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this section are from a survey of manufacturers of clay products, including brick, tile, pipe, and fittings. The panel for this survey consists of all known producers of clay construction products, approximately 220

establishments. This survey supplies a regional state

break out of production, quantity of shipments, and value

of shipments for brick (building or common and face), by

quarter. The tile, pipe, and fittings products are available

on an overall industry basis, by quarter. Related imports

and exports are also shown.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Shipments of the principal clay product, brick (building

or common), increased 8 percent to $1,339 million in

1997, from $1,235 million in 1996. The South Atlantic

region accounted for approximately 34 percent of the total

value of brick shipments in 1997. More specifically, North

Carolina accounted for approximately 14 percent of the

total value of brick shipments in 1997.

Shipments of facing tile decreased 5 percent to $14.2

million in 1997, from $14.9 million in 1996.

Shipments of clay floor and wall tile increased 12 percent to $874 million in 1997, from $779 million in 1996.

Of this, shipments of glazed floor and wall tile increased 6

percent to $591 million in 1997, from 556 million in

1996.

Shipments of vitrified sewer pipe and fittings decreased

2 percent to $44 million in 1997, from $45 million in

1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Building or common brick. Any brick made primarily

for building purposes and not especially treated for texture or color.

Facing brick. Brick made especially for facing purposes,

often treated to produce surface texture, and made of

selected clays or otherwise treated to produce desired

color.

Production and shipments. Due to breakage and inventory adjustments, production (quantity) and shipments

(quantity) may vary widely on a quarterly basis.

Facing tile. Tile designed for use in exterior or interior

walls, partitions, or columns where the face of the tile is

to be left exposed.

Ceramic glazed brick. Brick having a glaze of bright

satin or glass finish obtained by spraying the clay body

with a compound of metallic oxides, chemicals, and clays,

and burning at high temperature, thus fusing the glaze to

the body to make them inseparable.

Structural clay tile. A hollow masonry building unit

composed of burned clay, shale, fireclay, or mixtures

thereof, and having parallel air cells.

Quarry tile. Glazed or unglazed tile made by the process

from natural clay or shale, usually having 6 square inches

(39 square centimeters) or more of facial area.

Vitrified. This characteristic of a clay product results

when the temperature in the kiln is sufficient to fuse all

the grains and close all the pores of the clay, making the

mass impervious.

PLUMBING FIXTURES (MQ34E)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this section are from a survey of all companies engaged in the manufacture of plumbing fixtures in

the United States. The statistics were collected by mail on

Census Bureau quarterly Form MQ34E, Plumbing Fixtures.

The survey panel includes all known manufacturers of

plumbing fixtures, approximately 179 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Manufacturers’ shipments of plumbing fixtures during

1997 were valued at $3,323 million. This represents a

6-percent increase from the 1996 level of $3,144 million.

1997 marked the beginning of greater detail shown for

water closet bowls. Data are now collected reflecting

handicapped accessible, and low consumption bowls. The

new categories have served to better define the industry.

Shipments of low consumption water closet bowls (1.6 or

less g.p.f.) increased from 6.8 million in 1996 to 7.5 million in 1997.

Bathtub shipments increased 1.2 percent from 4.4 million in 1996 to 4.5 million in 1997. Whirlpool bath shipments increased 1.5 pecent from 482 thousand units in

1996 to 489 thousand units in 1997. Shipments of kitchen

sinks increased 3.9 percent from 5.1 million in 1996 to

5.3 million in 1997.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Definitions of plumbing fixtures. The products covered are classified by the standards set by the American

National Standards Institute.

Chemicals and Related Products

GENERAL INFORMATION

This section contains data for chemicals and related

products. Included in this section is information regarding

inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials, industrial

gases, paint and allied products, and pharmaceutical

preparations. The inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials group covers inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials including chlorine, sodium hydroxide, titanium dioxide, inorganic acids, inorganic aluminum compounds,

sodium and potassium compounds, ammonia, urea,

phosphoric and sulfuric acid, and superphosphates and

phosphatic fertilizer materials. The industrial gases group

covers oxygen, helium, carbon dioxide, argon, nitrogen,

and all other industrial gases. The paint and allied products group covers special-purpose coatings, architectural

coatings, and original equipment manufactures (OEM)

coatings. Finally, the pharmaceutical preparations group

covers all pharmaceutical preparations for human and veterinary use, including antacids, cold remedies, dermatological preparations, insulin preparations, laxatives, and

vitamin preparations.

INORGANIC CHEMICALS (MA28A) AND

FERTILIZER MATERIALS AND RELATED PRODUCTS (MA28B)

INTRODUCTION

The inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials

included in this report cover inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials manufactured in the United States. They

are collected in surveys MQ28A and MA28A, Inorganic

Chemicals, and in surveys MQ28B and MA28B, Fertilizer

Materials. In the manufacturing of these products, a

chemical reaction must take place, physically altering the

chemical makeup of the inorganic chemical or fertilizer

material. If a chemical is mined, with no further transformation of that chemical, that chemical and the establishment mining that chemical are considered out of scope of

manufacturing. Also, if a company is just mixing two different fertilizer materials together, with no chemical reaction occurring, they are considered in scope of manufacturing, but out of scope of inorganic chemicals and

fertilizer materials.

The unit of measure (basis) for most of the quantities of

inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials contained in

this report is 100 percent of the chemical compound. For

example, if a company manufactures 100 tons of 100 percent HCl (hydrochloric acid), that company would report

100 tons of production. However, if the company manufactured 100 tons of a diluted HCl, about 75 percent HCl

concentrate, that company would report 75 tons as their

production. This is the amount of 100 percent HCl produced in the 75 percent solution.

The Current Industrial Reports (CIRs) on inorganic

chemicals and fertilizer materials are annually compared

with the Census Bureau’s annual survey of manufactures

(ASM). The ASM collects information on product shipments, as well as numerous other statistics, including

number of employees, wages, plant worker, hours, inventories, cost of materials, and resales. The value of product

shipments is reconciled between the two reports in the

time period after the CIR annual report is released, but

before the ASM is released. Any revisions to the CIR surveys are then carried the following year.

The comparison of the CIR surveys on inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials with the ASM product classes

for 1997 and 1996 follows (value is in millions of dollars):

The value of shipments for the five-digit product

classes for inorganic chemicals and fertilizer materials

are generally within 2 percent. The product classes that

differ by more than 2 percent are most likely a result of

ASM sampling differences. The CIR reports are complete

coverage (universe) surveys for the product classes covered; whereas, the ASM is a sample survey that uses a

weighting factor to account for companies not sampled.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The value of shipments of alkalies and chlorine (SIC

2812) amounted to $3,070.0 million in 1997, a 4-percent

decrease from the 1996 level of $3,211.6 million. Value of

shipments of chlorine (SIC 28121) increased 30 percent to

$1,234.1 million in 1997, from $948.0 million in 1996.

Value of shipments of sodium hydroxide (SIC 28123)

decreased 23 percent to $1,440.0 million in 1997, from

$1,859.6 million in 1996. Value of shipments of other

alkalies (SIC 28125) decreased 2 percent to $386.8 million

in 1997 from $394.4 million in 1996.

Titanium dioxide (SIC 28161) production increased 9

percent from 1,352.0 thousand short tons in 1996 to

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES CHEMICALS AND RELATED PRODUCTS 4-1

U.S. Census Bureau
1,477.2 thousand short tons in 1997. The unit price

decreased 2 percent to $1,681.80 per short ton in 1997,

from $1,712.18 per short ton in 1996.

Shipments of inorganic chemicals, n.e.c. (SIC 2819),

remained virtually unchanged from the 1996 total of

$14,526.2 million to $14,512.3 million in 1997. Leading

the industry in shipments were potassium and sodium

compounds (SIC 28197), which increased 2 percent, from

$2,036.1 million in 1996 to $2,067.9 million in 1997; and

other inorganic chemicals, n.e.c. (SIC 28199), with

$7,569.1 million in shipments in 1997, virtually

unchanged from 1996 shipments of $7,571.6 million.

United States production of sulfuric acid (SIC 28193)

totaled 48,018.0 thousand short tons (100 percent H2SO4

in 1997, approximately 1 percent above the figure of

47,770.3 thousand short tons for 1996. Value of

shipments (including interplant transfers) amounted to

$528.3 million in 1997, compared with the value of

$578.1 million for 1996.

Value of shipments of synthetic ammonia, nitric acid,

and ammonium compounds (SIC 28731) decreased 9 percent to $3,494.0 million in 1997, from the 1996 level of

$3,818.8 million. Shipments of urea (SIC 28732) increased

15 percent to $772.3 million in 1997, and shipments of

phosphoric acid increased 14.5 percent to $1,405.1 million.

Production of superphosphate and other phosphatic

fertilizer materials (100 percent P2O5) (SIC 28742)

decreased 1 percent to 10,431.4 thousand short tons for

1997. The value of shipments amounted to $3,674.9 million in 1997, compared with the value of $3,927.6 million

in 1996.

INDUSTRIAL GASES (MA28C)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this subsection are from surveys MQ28C

and MA28C, Industrial Gases. The data shown are production, quantity, and value of shipments. Gases that are

vented or used for fuel by the manufacturer are excluded.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, total manufacturers’ shipments of industrial

gases amounted to $3,657.2 million, an increase of 2.0

percent from the 1996 shipments of $3,585.7 million.

Total shipments of carbon dioxide decreased 0.9 percent to $395.1 million in 1997, from $398.6 million in

1996. Carbon dioxide gas increased 0.6 percent to $51.6

million in 1997, from $51.3 million in 1996. Carbon dioxide liquid decreased 2.5 percent to $306.2 million in

1997, from $313.9 million in 1996, and solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) increased 11.7 percent in 1997, bringing its

value to $37.3 million, from a 1996 value of $33.4 million.

Total production of nitrogen decreased 1.7 percent to

809.3 billion cubic feet in 1997, from 823.5 billion in

1996.

Shipments of nitrogen decreased 1.8 percent to

$1,103.8 million in 1997, from $1,123.9 million in 1996.

Production of nitrogen gas decreased 2.5 percent in 1997

to 520.2 billion cubic feet, from 533.5 billion in 1996; and

shipments of nitrogen gas decreased 7.2 percent to

$398.5 million in 1997, from $429.5 in 1996. Production

of liquid nitrogen for merchant shipments decreased 2.9

percent in 1997 to 240.1 billion cubic feet, from 247.2

billion in 1996; but shipments increased 0.9 percent to

$640.8 million in 1997, from $635.1 million in 1996.

Total production of oxygen increased 7.8 percent to

735.7 billion cubic feet in 1997, from 682.2 billion in

1996; and shipments of oxygen increased 5.3 percent to

$998.0 million in 1997, from $947.9 million in 1996. Production of oxygen gas increased 9.1 percent in 1997 to

576.9 billion cubic feet, from 528.7 billion in 1996; but

shipments of oxygen gas decreased 2.1 percent to $558.7

million in 1997, from $570.7 in 1996. Production of liquid

oxygen for merchant shipments decreased 0.8 percent in

1997 to 111.3 billion cubic feet, from 112.2 billion in

1996; but shipments increased 15.4 percent to $386.6

million in 1997, from $335.0 million in 1996.

Total production of hydrogen increased 21.6 percent to

469.1 billion cubic feet in 1997, from 385.7 billion in

1996; shipments of hydrogen increased 15.2 percent to

$420.7 million in 1997, from $365.3 million in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Carbon dioxide. Includes all gas produced that is not

vented, regardless of whether it will be used as a gas or to

make liquid or solid. Also includes natural carbon dioxide

produced from well operations. Excludes amounts produced and consumed in the manufacture of urea or soda

ash.

Hydrogen. Excludes amounts produced and consumed in

the manufacture of synthetic ammonia, synthetic methanol, petroleum products (hydrocracking and hydrotreating), and amounts produced by the ammonia dissociation

process (cracking of ammonia).

Nitrogen/oxygen. Excludes amounts produced and consumed in the manufacture of synthetic ammonia and

ammonia derivatives.

Production. Data shown for production represent total

quantity of each chemical produced, including quantity

consumed in plants, and for sale or transfer to other

plants or warehouses of the same company. The statistics

presented in the tables provide an up-to-date measure of

activity in the inorganic field, but do not necessarily indicate amounts entering the market. In some cases, figures

are included for material produced ‘‘in process’’ as an

intermediate to the end of products.

Unit of measure. All figures included in this report are

shown in million cubic feet, 70 degrees Fahrenheit, at 1

atmosphere pressure, unless otherwise specified.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on industrial gases have been collected by the

Census Bureau since 1941. Prior to 1991, data were collected both monthly and annually. Beginning in 1991, as a

result of budget reductions, the monthly series was canceled and replaced with a similar quarterly series. Historical data may be obtained from Current Industrial Reports

(called Facts for Industry before 1959) available at your

local Federal Depository Library. Historical data are also

available on microfiche; contact Customer Services,

301-457-4100.

PAINT, VARNISH, AND LACQUER (MA28F)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this subsection were collected in the Current Industrial Report surveys MQ28F and MA28F, Paint

and Allied Products. The data consist of quarterly and

annual statistics on manufacturers’ shipments of paint and

allied products for 1997 and 1996. The annual statistics

are based on reported data from approximately 500 companies having 20 or more employees and represent

approximately 95 percent of the paint industry (SIC 2851).

Estimates are used for companies with less than 20

employees, as well as for those companies whose reports

were not received in time for publication.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, total manufacturers’ shipments of paint and

allied products amounted to $16,436.8 million, a decrease

of 0.7 percent from the 1996 shipments of $16,554.7 million.

Shipments of architectural coatings decreased 1.6 percent to $6,148.1 million in 1997 from $6,246.3 million in

1996.

Shipments of original equipment manufactures (OEM)

coatings increased 4.8 percent to $5,739.4 million in 1997

from $5,474.1 million in 1996.

Shipments of powder coatings increased 9.6 percent to

$589.9 million in 1997 from $538.3 million in 1996.

Shipments of special-purpose coatings decreased 11.2

percent to $2,898.2 million in 1997 from $3,263.8 million

in 1996.

Shipments of miscellaneous allied paint products

increased 5.1 percent to $1,651.1 million in 1997 from

$1,570.5 million in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Architectural coatings. Coatings for onsite application

to interior or exterior surfaces of residential, commercial,

institutional, or industrial buildings. These are protective

and decorative finishes applied at ambient temperatures

for ordinary use and exposure.

Clear finishes and spar varnishes. Transparent protective

and/or decorative films, including urethane coatings,

natural varnishes, and shellac varnishes.

Eggshell finish. Low sheen (semimatte) surfaces that

exhibit surface reflectance (gloss) similar to that of an

eggshell, lying between flat and semigloss.

Enamels. Topcoats with the ability to form a smooth surface; usually associated with a high gloss, but also used

with lesser gloss, i.e., flat enamels.

Primer. First complete coat of a painting system applied to

a surface. Designed to provide adequate adhesion to new

surfaces and to meet special requirements such as absorption and/or corrosion control.

Stains. Transparent and semitransparent solutions or suspensions of coloring matter in a vehicle, designed to color

a surface by penetration without hiding it, or to color a

material into which it is incorporated.

Solvent. Nonaqueous liquid, usually volatile, used to dissolve or disperse the coating constituents. This liquid

evaporates during drying and does not become part of the

dried coating.

Lacquers. Coating composition based on synthetic

thermoplastic materials dissolved in organic solvent,

which dries primarily by solvent evaporation. Typical lacquers include those based on nitrocellulose and other

cellulose derivations, vinyl resins, and acrylic resins.

Undercoat. A coat of paint applied on new wood, over a

primer, or over a previous coat of paint, to improve the

seal and to serve as a base for the top coat.

Exterior coatings. Architectural coatings that are expected

to possess reasonable durability when exposed to natural

weathering.

Miscellaneous paint products. Includes thinners for

dopes, lacquers, and oleoresinous thinners, including mixtures and proprietary thinners (sold as such); aerosol

paints made from purchased paint, both exterior and interior; organisols and plastisols, other than coatings; paint

and varnish driers; and miscellaneous related paint products, e.g., pigment dispersions, ink vehicles, and bleached

shellac (not varnish).

Putty and allied products. Includes wood and textile preservatives (nonpressure type) such as wood fillers and

sealers, putty and glazing compounds, paint and varnish

removers, and other allied paint products, including brush

cleaners.

(Source: Paint/Coatings Dictionary, Federation of Societies

for Coatings Technology, 1978)

OEM coatings. Coatings formulated specifically for OEM

to meet conditions of application and product requirements, and applied to such products during the manufacturing process.

Powder coatings. One hundred-percent solid coatings

applied as dry powders and subsequently formed into a

film with heat.

4-34 CHEMICALS AND RELATED PRODUCTS 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
Electrical insulating coatings. Coatings (varnishes), often

used in combination with materials such as mica, fabrics,

and paper, to provide insulation for electrical equipment.

These coatings are formulated to have high resistance to

electrical conduction.

Quantity and value of shipments. Shipments are collected in thousands of gallons and thousands of dollars.

The only exception to this is powder coatings that are collected in pounds and converted to gallons by using a conversion factor of 3 (3 lb =1 gallon).

Special-purpose coatings, including coatings for

transportation after market. These may also be stock

type or shelf goods, but differ from general architectural

coatings by the fact that they are formulated for special

applications and/or special environmental conditions such

as extreme temperatures, chemicals, and fumes.

Industrial new construction and maintenance paints. High

performance coatings formulated to withstand extremes

of use such as heavy abrasion, water immersion, chemicals, corrosion, extreme temperatures, and electrical or

solvent exposure. Also includes maintenance coatings

used to maintain nonresidential structures; building and

nonbuilding requirements in such areas as public utilities,

railroads, roads, and highways; and other industrial plant

coatings, the primary purpose of which is protection.

Industrial new construction and maintenance paints can

be used on either interior or exterior applications.

Marine paints, including ship and offshore. Paints and

coatings specifically formulated to withstand water immersion and exposure to marine atmosphere. Excludes spar

varnish. Includes marine refinish paints.

Traffic marking paints. Paints specifically formulated to

withstand wear of vehicular traffic and to be highly visible

at night; used to mark center lines on roadways, traffic

lanes, crosswalks, etc. Includes paints manufactured with

reflective beads.

Refinish paints. Coatings formulated specifically to meet

particular product and application requirements, and sold

to the refinishing trade or through retail outlets for aftermarket application.

Note: Data for 1992 through 1997 are estimates of total U.S. value of shipments of paint, varnish, and lacquer. These estimates were developed

by increasing product class totals shown in Table 21 by adjustment factors. For 1992 through 1997, these factors are: 1.008 for ‘‘Architectural coatings,’’ .989 for ‘‘Product coatings OEM,’’ 1.011 for ‘‘Special-purpose coatings,’’ and 1.026 for ‘‘Miscellaneous paint products.’’ For example: quantity

and value of OEM coatings for 1997 shown in Table 21 amounted to $429,959 and $5,803,283, respectively. Adjusting these data by factor of .989

(multiplying $429,959 and $5,803,283 by .989) equals adjusted and rounded quantity and value of 425.2 and $5,739.4 shown above in Table 20.

These factors are used because the annual survey panel was selected to measure approximately 95 percent of total shipments in the paint industry

(SIC 2851). Adjustment factors (based on 1992 census relationships) bring each product code value up to 100 percent. Quarterly data for 1997 and

1996 reflect adjusted totals in Table 20 and are shown in Table 22 along with the quarterly data originally published in Current Industrial Reports,

quarterly series MQ28F, Paint, Varnish, and Lacquer.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on paint, varnish, and lacquer have been collected

by the Census Bureau since 1928. Prior to 1981, a

monthly sample survey, benchmarked to the census of

manufactures, was used to collect these data. Beginning

with data year 1981, an annual survey on paint and

related products was added. The monthly survey was still

conducted through 1990. Beginning in 1991, due to budget reductions, the monthly series was canceled and

replaced with a similar quarterly series.

Historical data may be obtained from the Current Industrial Reports (called Facts for Industry before 1959), available at your local Federal Depository Library. Historical

data are also available on microfiche; contact Customer

Services, 301-457-4100.

INTRODUCTION

The data in this subsection are from the survey MA28G,

Pharmaceutical Preparations, which covers manufacturers

of pharmaceutical preparations, except biologicals. The

data include all preparations that can be dispensed in

measured portions, to produce the therapeutic effect for

which the preparation is most commonly employed (liquids, tablets, pills, capsules, lozenges, powders, ointments, jellies, salves, inhaler tubes, etc.). The survey

excludes all uncompounded medicinal chemicals and

botanicals.

FLAT GLASS (MA32A)

INTRODUCTION

The data in this section are from a survey of all companies engaged in the manufacturing of flat or float glass,

except laminated or otherwise fabricated flat glass products, as collected on the quarterly report MA32A, Flat

Glass. The survey panel includes all known manufacturers

of flat glass, approximately 6 companies. Prior to 1975,

the panel included approximately 10 companies.

The categories of flat glass in this survey were revised

for 1997. The revision reflects a change from emphasis on

thickness and color to categories of end use: automotive

and nonautomotive.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Production and shipments of flat glass in the United

States both amounted to 6.1 billion square feet in 1997.

The reported value of shipments was $1.82 billion. Automotive glass accounted for 29 percent of both total production and total shipments (in square footage) of flat

glass for the year.

In 1997, outside customer sales of 4.1 billion square

feet accounted for 67.7 percent of the total quantity of

shipments and 70.5 percent of the total value of shipments. Exports reported by flat glass manufacturers

amounted to 422 million square feet, 7 percent of their

total shipments.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Unit of measure.Quantities of glass are reported in short

tons and thousands of square feet. Total value of shipments, exports, and outside customer sales are reported

in thousands of dollars.

Production. Includes flat glass packed direct from the

production line for shipments to customers, finished glass

transferred to other establishments of the producing company or added to finished inventory, and consumption

within the same plant. Glass blanks are included in production when they are cut and packed for shipments or

put into finished inventory. Blanks transferred to another

raw glass producing plant of the same company are

reported by the receiving plant when cut and packed for

shipment or added to finished inventory.

Quantities produced and consumed. Includes quantities of each type of glass produced by each company for

internal consumption within each company (i.e., the quantity of interplant transfer and the quantity produced and

consumed within that same producing plant).

Stocks. Includes total quantity of ending finished stock

inventory, excluding glass blanks.

Sheet glass. Flat glass made by continuous drawing.

Plate glass. Flat glass formed by a rolling process,

ground and polished on both sides, with surfaces essentially plane and parallel.

Float glass. Flat glass, identical in appearance to plate

glass, but formed by a process in which thickness is controlled by floating the glass on a molten bed of tin.

Sales to outside customers. Sales outside the reporting

company to nonraw glass producing companies.

shipments totaled 257.4 million gross. In 1997, shipments

of narrow neck containers amounted to 200.1 million

gross, and shipments of wide mouth containers were 54.0

million gross. Stocks on hand of glass containers at the

Some narrow neck and wide mouth combined categories are included with ‘‘narrow neck containers.’’ For 1997, data may not be comparable with

prior years due to reclassification in the food and beverage categories. 2

Data are limited to stocks at manufacturing establishments. Prior month end-of-month stocks plus current month production minus current month

shipments may not equal current month end-of-month stocks due to breakage, stock adjustments, and resales. 3

Total stocks for the end of a year are shown in December of that year.

Note: One thousand gross = 144,000.

Primary Metals

IRON AND STEEL CASTINGS (MA33A)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover producers of ferrous castings,

whether for commercial sale or for use by the producing

company. The statistics originate from the annual data for

1997 collected on Census Bureau form MA33A, Iron and

Steel Foundries. The annual survey panel consists of

approximately 532 weighted sample establishments,

taken from a list of over 960 known producers from the

1992 Census of Manufactures universe.

The panel for this survey was selected using a cutoff

sampling methodology from a frame that was constructed

from the 1992 Census of Manufactures. The sampling

frame consisted of all establishments in the census that

satisfied at least one of the following criteria:

1. Shipments of castings were reported, or

2. Consumption of materials commonly used in the

manufacture of castings was reported, or

3. Foundry activity was indicated by the completion of a

special census inquiry.

For sampling purposes, a number of item codes,

roughly equivalent to the items collected on the annual

survey form, were created from the census product class

and materials consumed codes defined by the above criteria. In some cases, the relationship between the item code

and a corresponding census code was one to one. In other

cases, the item code consisted of a combination of census

codes. In either of these cases, a value was assigned to

the item code at the establishment level to the corresponding summed values (quantities) of the census codes

comprising it. Potentially, a given establishment might

have had a multiple number of item codes assigned.

Each individual item code was sampled independently

by cutoff methods, by first arraying the establishments

with the item in descending order of value and by selecting the largest establishments, which in the cumulative

accounted for 85 percent of the total item value. Because

of the potential for establishments to be coded to more

than one item code, the effective coverage of all item

codes exceeded 85 percent. Plants selected because of

their size in one code contributed to the coverage in other

codes for which they had a small amount of data.

The select cases constitute the mailing panel for the

annual survey. For a given survey year, final estimates are

formed for a given item by summing the data obtained for

the mail panel and adjusting it by the coverage rate for

the item, so that a complete coverage estimate is

obtained. This methodology presumes that the nonmail

cases exhibit the same growth characteristics as the mail

cases.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, quantity of iron and steel castings shipped

were estimated at 12,007 thousand short tons, a

1-percent decrease from the 12,042 thousand short tons

shipped in 1996. Ductile iron and gray iron castings quantity shipped were estimated at 4,334 and 6,186 thousand

short tons respectively, a 1-percent increase from the

4,312 and 6,197 thousand shorts tons shipped in 1996.

Manufacturers of malleable iron castings shipped 271

thousand short tons in 1997, a 3-percent increase from

the 262 thousand short tons shipped in 1996. The quantity of steel castings shipped in 1997 decreased 4 percent

to 1,217 thousand short tons from the 1,217 thousand

short tons in 1996.

STEEL MILL PRODUCTS (MA33B)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover all known producers of steel mill

products. The statistics were collected by mail on Census

Bureau annual Form MA33B, Steel Mill Products. The survey panel includes all known producers of steel mill products, approximately 382 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, steel mill product manufacturers had shipments of $68.1 billion, which increased 3 percent from

$66.3 billion in 1996. Steel ingot and semifinished shapes

increased 3 percent to $4.8 billion in 1997, from $4.6 billion in 1996. Hot-rolled sheet and strip, including tin mill

products increased 1 percent to $22.1 billion in 1997,

from $21.9 billion in 1996. Hot-rolled bar and shapes,

plates, structural shapes, and piling increased by 3 percent to $12.9 billion in 1997, from $12.5 billion in 1996.

Steel wire increased 6 percent to $2.4 billion in 1997,

from $2.2 billion in 1996. Other wire products decreased

to $1.9 billion in 1997, from $2.0 billion in 1996, a

3-percent decrease. Steel pipe and tube incurred a

12-percent increase to $9.9 billion in 1997, from $8.8 billion in 1996. Cold-rolled steel sheet and strip decreased to

$11.2 billion in 1997, from $11.4 billion in 1996, a

1-percent decrease. Cold-finished steel bars and bar

shapes increased 2 percent to $2.3 billion in 1997, from

$2.2 billion in 1996. Other steel mill products increased

15 percent.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Net shipments. This figure is derived by subtracting

domestic receipts from total quantity shipments plus steel

consumed in producing plants. Prior to 1980, import

receipts were also used in the net shipments calculation.

Beginning in 1980, import receipts of steel mill products

for further processing were collected separately and were

no longer used in the net shipments calculation.

Carbon steel. All ferrous materials other than alloy and

stainless that are usefully malleable and that contain, by

weight, 2 percent or less of carbon (in effect, all steel

other than that complying with the definition for alloy or

stainless).

Alloy steel. Steels not complying with the definition of

ALUMINUM INGOT AND MILL PRODUCTS (M33D)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover companies engaged in the production,

in the continental United States, of aluminum ingot and/or

mill products. Master alloys are included. Receipts of

imported aluminum products are also included. Companies engaged in tolling operations are also surveyed.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

monthly Form M33D, Aluminum Producers and Importers

Report (Receipt, Shipments, and Stocks). The panel for this

survey consists of all known producers of aluminum ingot

and mill products shipping 10,000 pounds or more of aluminum ingot and mill products per month, approximately

250 companies. Based on an earlier study, small producers

shipping less than 10,000 pounds per month would not

significantly affect the survey results.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Net shipments of aluminum ingot and mill products

totaled 14,992 million pounds in 1997, a 5-percent

increase from the 14,244 million pounds in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Gross shipments. Represents the quantity of physical

shipments from domestic establishments of all products

sold, transferred to other establishments of the same company, or shipped on consignment, whether for domestic or

export sale or use. Shipments of products purchased for

resale are omitted. Shipments of products made under toll

arrangements are included.

Receipts. Represents metal physically received, both

from imports and from domestic sources. Metal received

under toll arrangements, even though title or ownership

of the metal may remain with the shipper, is also included.

Scrap receipts are not included.

Inventories. Includes all forms of scrap, ingot, metal in

process, and finished products listed in this report. All

metal physically in plant inventories at the end of the

month, whether or not title or ownership of the metal may

have been transferred, including toll arrangements.

Ingot inventory. All metal that is in the form of extrusion billets or other ingot and molten metal, primary and

secondary.

Scrap inventory. Purchased and toll-treated aluminumbase scrap and sweated pig in all forms, as well as home

or runaround scrap. Also includes remelt scrap ingot (RSI).

All other inventory. Includes all mill products that are

in a finished state or are in the process of being finished.

Integrated producers. Companies in the United States

that produce primary aluminum ingot (from alumina) and

may also produce mill products.

Nonintegrated producers. Companies that produce

mill products in the United States and that are not affiliated with a domestic primary ingot producer.

Smelters. Companies whose aluminum facilities are

exclusively devoted to producing specification ingot from

scrap.

Ingot (billet), extrusion. A solid or hollow cast form,

usually cylindrical, suitable for extruding.

Other ingot and molten metal, primary and secondary. Molten aluminum or a solid form (other than extrusion ingot) suitable for remelting or fabricating, produced

either from alumina or from scrap; excludes RSI, which is

considered scrap until remelted and cast into specification

ingot.

Foil. A flat rolled product, rectangular in cross-section,

and less than 0.006 inch.

Sheet. A rolled product, flat or coiled, rectangular in

cross-section, and 0.006 inch in thickness but under

0.250 inches in thickness.

Plate. A flat rolled product, rectangular in cross-section,

and 0.250 inch or greater in thickness.

Wire. A solid wrought product that is long in relation to

cross-section, which is square, round, rectangular, hexagonal, or octagonal in shape and whose diameter or greatest

perpendicular distance between parallel faces (except for

flattened wire) is less than 0.375 inch.

Drawing stock (redraw rod) (continuous cast or

rolled). A solid round product that is long in relation to

cross-section, 0.375 inch or greater in diameter, produced

by continuous casting followed by size-rolling or by rolling from D.C. cast ingot, suitable for drawing into wire.

Rod and bar (rolled and/or extruded). A solid round,

square, rectangular, hexagon, or octagonal-shaped product that is long in relation to cross-section, 0.375 inch or

greater in diameter or in at least one perpendicular distance between parallel faces, produced by continuous

casting or rolling or by extruding; other than drawing

stock and D.C. cast ingot.

Pipe and tube (extruded and drawn). A hollow

wrought product with a uniform wall thickness (except as

affected by corner radii) that is long in relation to its

cross-section, round, square, rectangular, hexagonal,

octagonal, or elliptical in shape, produced either by hot

extruding and/or brought to final dimensions by cold

drawing through a die.

6-16 PRIMARY METALS 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
Extruded shapes. A product produced by extruding,

that is long in relation to its cross-sectional dimension and

has a cross-section other than that of rod and bar or pipe

and tube.

Cable, ACSR, and aluminum (bare). Aluminum

stranded conductor reinforced by a core of steel (ACSR); or

any other bare stranded aluminum conductor.

Powder, atomized. Powder produced by blowing or

aspirating molten metal through an orifice.

Other flake, powder, and paste. Includes the following

products:

Powder. An aggregate of discrete particles of aluminum,

substantially all of which are finer than 1,000 microns

(minus 18 mesh).

Paste. A blend of powder or flake with a thinner or plasticizer.

Powder, flaked. Powder consisting of flat or scale-like particles of a thickness that is small compared with other

dimensions, and is produced by milling in the presence of

a lubricant.

Forgings (excluding impact extrusions). A product

worked to a predetermined shape by one or more processes such as hammering, upsetting, pressing, and rolling.

Impacts (excluding collapsible tubes and cans). A

product formed in a confining die from a metal slug, usually cold, by a rapid simple stroke application of force

through a punch, causing the metal to flow around the

punch, and/or through an opening in the punch or die.

NONFERROUS CASTINGS (MA33E)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover producers of nonferrous castings,

whether for commercial sale or for use by the producing

company.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA33E, Nonferrous Castings. The survey

panel was first mailed for survey year 1994. It now consists of about 795 producers of nonferrous castings

selected from approximately 2,500 establishments identified in the 1992 Census of Manufactures.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, the total shipments of nonferrous castings

were 4,507 million pounds. This represented a 1-percent

increase from the 1996 total shipments of 4,455 million

pounds. Shipments of aluminum castings in 1997 totaled

3,107 million pounds, showing a 2-percent increase from

the 1996 total of 3,042 million pounds. Shipments of copper castings totaled 560 million pounds in 1997, a

2-percent decrease from the 1996 total of 569 million

pounds. The shipments of magnesium castings in 1997

totaled 38 million pounds, representing a 26-percent

decrease from the 1996 total of 51 million pounds. Shipments of zinc castings increased 2 percent during 1997 to

434 million pounds, compared with the 1996 total of 423

million pounds. Shipments of lead castings during 1997

totaled 367 million pounds, representing a 1-percent

decrease, compared with the 1996 total of 369 million

pounds.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Shipments for sale. Represents commercial sales only

(castings shipped to the trade). Intracompany sales are not

included in this category. Value figures represent only

these shipments.

Shipments for own use. Represents castings shipped

for use by the reporting company or by a subsidiary, parent, or other affiliated company. Castings produced and

consumed at the same location in the production of finished products are also included.

Sand casting. Castings produced by pouring molten

metal into a sand mold and allowing it to solidify.

Permanent mold casting. Castings produced by introducing molten metal by gravity, or low pressure, into a

mold constructed of durable material, usually iron or steel,

and allowing it to solidify.

Semipermanent casting. Mold castings are made using

an expendable core such as sand.

Die casting. Castings produced by introducing molten

metal under high pressure into a metal mold or die and

allowing it to solidify.

Centrifugal casting. Castings produced by pouring molten metal into a spinning mold. Centrifugal force acts to

distribute the metal uniformly around the interior of the

mold.

Continuous casting. Castings produced by introducing

molten metal by gravity into a watercooled graphite die

from which the solidified form is continuously drawn.

INVENTORIES OF STEEL PRODUCING MILLS (M33J)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover producers and steel service centers.

Important nonmanufacturing activities such as construction and mining are not included.

The statistics are based on a survey of manufacturers

and represent total U.S. inventories of steel mill shapes

and forms. Estimates are included for companies whose

reports were not received in time for tabulation.

Data for producers are based on information collected

by mail on Census Bureau monthly Form M33J, Net Shipments and Inventories of Steel Mill Shapes and Forms (Producers Report), from companies that produce over 90 percent of total steel output. Estimates have been derived to

represent 100-percent coverage of steel producers. These

estimates are benchmarked annually to Current Industrial

Reports Series MA33B, Steel Mill Products, the last being

1996.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Total inventories of steel mill shapes and forms held by

steel producers, and steel service centers (warehouses)

increased from 19.9 million short tons at the end of

December 31, 1996, to 20.5 million short tons in 1997.

Inventories held by steel service centers increased from

7.0 million short tons to 7.3 million short tons in 1997,

and inventories held by steel producers increased from

12.9 to 13.2 million short tons for 1997.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Steel mill shapes and forms. Steel mill shapes and

forms include ingot, semifinished shapes such as billets

and wire rods, bar and bar shapes, sheet, strip plate, tinplate, terneplate, blackplate, wire, structural shapes, and

receipts of steel mill products for further processing were collected separately and were no longer used in net shipments calculation. 2

Source: Census Bureau report IM 145, U.S. Imports for Consumption. Import tonnage is derived from following 1994 HTSUSA numbers:

7206.10.0000 - 7306.90.5000. 3

Apparent consumption is derived by subtracting exports from total of net shipments plus imports.

HISTORICAL NOTE

INSULATED WIRE AND CABLE (MA33L)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover companies engaged in manufacturing

insulated wire and cable and/or fabricating appliance wire,

cord, or flexible cordage from purchased insulated wire.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA33L, Insulated Wire and Cable. The survey

panel includes all known insulators of wire and cable, as

well as the largest producers of appliance wire, cord, and

flexible cord sets from purchased insulated wire as measured by the dollar value of shipments from the 1992 Census of Manufactures. No estimate is included for the

smaller fabricators. The total number of companies is

approximately 223.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, the total value of manufacturers’ shipments of

insulated wire and cable increased by 7 percent to

$19,540 million from $18,234 million in 1996. Copper

insulated wire and cable increased by 9 percent to

$11,169 from the 1996 level of $10,225 million. In 1997,

aluminum insulated wire and cable increased by 2 percent

to $3,962 from the 1996 level of $3,892 million. Copper

magnet wire decreased by 2 percent from the 1996 level

of $1,238 million to $1,215 million in 1997. Aluminum

magnet wire increased by 11 percent in 1997 to $133 million from the 1996 level of $120 million. In 1997, insulated optical fiber cable increased by 7 percent to $1,852

million from the $1,728 million in 1996. Optical cable

increased by 17 percent in 1997 to $1,210 million from

the 1996 level of $1,031 milli0n.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Gross weight. Includes insulating materials but excludes

packaging materials.

AWG. American wire gauge.

Dual rated products. All dual rated products are classified according to their highest ratings.

Multi-insulated cables. All multi-insulated cables are

classified according to their primary insulation, i.e., the

layer of material designed to do the electrical insulating,

usually the first layer of material applied over the conductor.

Insulated wire and cable. All insulated wire and cable

for transmitting electrical energy, signals, or communications. Excludes bare and tinned wire and cable and Aluminum Cable Steel Reinforced (ACSR).

Magnet wire (including insulating magnet strip conductor). All insulated wire of the type generally used in

the winding of coils, including Litz wire and including

insulating magnet sheet, strip, and foil. The thermal classification for bondable wires are determined by the underlying insulation. Also, the combination (film fabrics) product

is classified based on the insulation on the top side.

Electronic wire and cable. All single and multiconductor wire and cable used for transmission, reception, or

reproduction of electrical frequencies (16 gauge and

smaller). Excludes telephone cable. See ‘‘Apparatus Wire

and Cable’’ for larger gauges.

Telephone wire and cable. All wire and cables used in

the telephone industry to transmit, receive, and monitor

communications signals. Excludes coaxial and other electronic wire and cable.

Power wire and cable. All insulated wire and cable used

for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

Excludes communications, aircraft, and marine types.

Control wire and signal wire and cable. All insulated

wire and cable used to transmit signals to control and

actuate relays, valves, servo-mechanisms, and related

devices, including traffic control cable and fire alarm

cable. Excludes elevator hatch and traveling cable.

Building wire and cable. All wire and cable (600 volts

or less) having UL labels, used within structures for light

and power.

Apparatus wire and cable. Insulated wire and cable

used in connecting electrical apparatus to a power source,

and appliance wiring material (14 AWG and larger) used

for internal wiring. See ‘‘Electronic Wire and Cable’’ for

appliance wiring material smaller than 14 AWG.

Other insulated wire and cable. Includes bulk automotive battery and ignition wire, elevator hatch and traveling

cable, airframe, shipboard, and ground support cable.

INTRODUCTION

These data cover manufacturers of computers and

office and accounting machines, except very small firms

(generally less than 10 employees) for which 1992 Census

of Manufactures data were derived from administrative

records of other government agencies. The statistics were

collected by mail on Census Bureau annual Form MA35R,

Computers and Office and Accounting Machines. The survey panel includes all known producers of these products,

except the very small firms excluded from the scope of

the survey. Approximately 818 companies are included.

No estimate is derived for the small firms excluded from

the scope of the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, manufacturers’ shipments of computers were

valued at $49.6 billion, a decrease from the 1996 total of

$50.7 billion. Shipments of computers increased from

19.9 million in 1996 to 20.1 million in 1997. Personal

computers were valued at $21.9 billion in 1997. Workstations were valued at $5.1 billion in 1997. Notebooks were

valued at $4.8 billion in 1997. Loaded computer processor

boards and board subassemblies were valued at $25.3 billion in 1997, compared to $24.9 billion in 1996. Computer storage devices and equipment were valued at $8.6

billion in 1997, a decrease of 3.3 percent from the 1996

total of $8.9 billion. Magnetic and optical recording media

were valued at $5.2 billion in 1997 compared to $5.7 billion in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Computers. These automatic data processing units are

capable of: (1) performing arithmetic computations, (2)

processing data in accordance with a processing program,

(3) immediately storing the processing program and the

data necessary for execution of the processing program,

and (4) executing a processing program without human

intervention, on the basis of instructions contained in the

program, to automatically modify execution by logical

decision during the performance of processing tasks.

General-purpose computers. A computer designed to

solve a large variety of problems; e.g., a stored program

computer that may be adapted to any of a very large class

of applications.

Digital computers. A computer that processes information represented by combinations of discrete or discontinuous data, compared with an analog computer for continuous data. More specifically, it is a device for

performing sequences or arithmetic and logical operations. Still more specifically, it is a stored program digital

computer capable of performing sequences of internally

stored instructions, as opposed to calculators, on which a

sequence is impressed manually.

Analog computers. A computer that represents variables

by physical analogies. Thus, any computer that solves

problems by translating physical conditions such as flow,

temperature, pressure, angular position, or voltage into

related mechanical or electrical equivalent circuits as an

analog for the physical phenomenon being investigated. In

general, it is a computer that uses an analog for each variable and produces analogs as output. Thus, an analog

computer measures continuously; whereas, a digital computer counts discretely.

Hybrid computers. A computer designed with both digital and analog characteristics, combining the advantages

of analog as well as digital computers, when working as a

system. Hybrid computers are used extensively in simulation process control systems where it is necessary to have

a close representation with the physical world. The hybrid

system provides better precision than can be attained with

analog computers and greater speed than is possible with

digital computers, plus the ability to accept input data in

either form.

Special-purpose computers. A special-purpose computer is a general-purpose computer programmed and/or

configured to operate upon a restricted class of problems.

Peripheral equipment for computers. In a data processing system, any equipment, distinct from the processing unit, that may provide the system with outside communication or additional facilities. Includes input/output

typewriters and displays sold as part of a large office

system. Included are:

Input/output equipment. Terminals include those units

that, in addition to their capabilities of displaying data or

accepting data input, are capable of performing other

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES ELECTRONICS 7-1

U.S. Census Bureau
functions such as stamping approvals for bank account

withdrawals, time stamping, and issuing receipts. A unit is

included if it meets all of the following conditions:

1. It is connectable to the processing unit either directly

or through one or more other units;

2. It is specifically designed as part of such a system. (It

must in particular, unless it is a power supply unit, be

able to accept or deliver data in a form (code or signals) that can be used by the system.)

Computer storage devices. Storage in addition to the main

storage of a computer; e.g., magnetic tapes, disks, or

magnetic drums. Auxiliary storage usually holds much

larger amounts of information than the main storage, and

the information is accessible less rapidly. Computer terminals. A point at which information can enter or leave a

computer communication network. An input/output

device to send or receive data in an environment associated with the job to be performed, capable of transmitting

entries to and obtaining output from the computer system

of which it is a part.

Cash registers. Stand-alone electronic devices, including

adding device with cash drawer and excluding terminals

that have interactive communication capablities. Firmware

based, fixed or parameterized function devices developed

primarily for cash control, with limited transaction or merchandise information as a byproduct.

Fund transfer devices. Devices facilitating the handling of

various financial transactions involving the consumer and

financial institutions. Typically, these devices provide services such as account status inquiries, transfers of funds

to and from various accounts, withdrawals, deposits, and

payments.

Point-of-sale devices. Devices facilitating the handling of

various retail transactions involving the sale, exchange, or

return of merchandise or service.

Accounting machines. A keyboard actuated machine

that prepares accounting records. A machine that may

read data from external storage media such as cards or

tapes, and automatically produces accounting records or

tabulations, usually on continuous forms.

Calculating machines. Devices requiring manual means

for entering numerical data for performance of arithmetic

operations. These machines, by nature, require frequent

operator intervention. A calculator uses separate, fixed

storage areas for its programs and for the storage of data.

These machines cannot execute programs that modify

themselves during their execution. There are two major

classifications of these machines: printing calculating

machines print one or more of the significant elements of

computation; nonprinting calculating machines display

one or more of the significant elements of computations.

Includes both three- and four-operation printing calculators. Three-operation printing calculators are those incorporating short-cut multiplication and/or fully ‘‘automatic

multiplication’’ and division.

Duplicating machines. A machine in which an ink image

on a master is transferred onto a copy paper.

Postage franking machines. Machines that print a

design in place of the postage stamp. The machine has a

non-reversible totalling device that adds up the total value

of the postage printed. In addition, the machine can often

be used for other printing on the envelope; e.g., advertising slogans.

Dictating, transcribing, and recording machines and

systems. Machines that are designed as office machines

for conference recording, combination dictating, and telephone recording used to produce a written record, but

excluding home-type wire and tape recorders. A single

recording unit with a number of dictating stations should

be counted as one unit or system. A system consists of a

recorder and a transcribing unit with more than one dictating station.

Standard typewriters. Machines, electric or nonelectric,

designed solely for preparation of documents with letter

printlike characters and symbols that are operated manually by consecutive depressing of keyboard keys. A typewriter contains a four-row keyboard, including alpha and

numeric as well as special symbols. It may or may not

include special attachments to be used in the preparation

of addresses or other stencils, braille typing for the blind,

and similar materials. In addition, it may or may not

include special carriages, pin-feed platens, and other

devices used to increase the speed of the typing on continuous forms. Machines that include accounting registers

are excluded.

Bar code. An array of rectangular bars and spaces

arranged in a predetermined pattern, following unambiguous rules in a specific way, to represent elements of data

that are referred to as characters.

Code reader or scanner. A device that examines a spatial pattern, one part after another, and generates analog

or digital signals corresponding to the pattern. The major

components of a bar code scanner are an illumination

source, a photodetector device, and a microcomputer. A

focused light beam is moved across the symbol (bar

code), the reflected light is received by the photodetector,

which in turn generates a voltage (analog signal) that is

proportional to the amount of light reflected by the signal.

The signal from the photodetector is conditioned by preprocessor circuitry before being presented to the microcomputer for analysis.

7-2 ELECTRONICS 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
Decoder. An electronic package that receives the signals

from the scanner, and then performs the algorithm to

interpret the signals into meaningful data and provides

the interface to other devices.

Optical character recognition (OCR). Relies on a sensor to differentiate between light-reflecting background

and printed data that do not reflect light. Output from the

sensor is fed to a set of recognition logics, and then forwarded to the computer.

Magnetic strip. Records, or encodes, information onto a

material, using low or high energy electromagnetic

charges. These charges or signals can then be read by a

decorder that translates them into numbers and characters

for identification by a computer.

Radio frequency. A system based on the ability of an

identification tag (transponder) to receive radio frequency

signals and output a code to a reader.

Voice recognition. A computer recognizes words in a

preprogrammed vocabulary. The operator speaks the

words into a microphone, and the word or phrase is recognized by the machine and converted into electronic

impulses for the micro or host computer.

Machine vision. Devices used for optical noncontact

sensing to receive and interpret automatically an image of

a real scene, to obtain information, and/or to control

machines or processes.

Image processor. Selects and interprets data to determine an object’s position, location, shape, and size.

SWITCHGEAR, SWITCHBOARD APPARATUS, RELAYS,

AND INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS (MA36A)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover manufacturers of switchgear, switchboard apparatus, relays, and industrial controls, except

very small firms (generally less than 20 employees) for

which 1992 Census of Manufactures data were derived

from administrative records of other government agencies.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA36A, Switchgear, Switchboard Apparatus,

Relays, and Industrial Controls. The survey panel includes

all known producers of these products, except the very

small firms excluded from the scope of the survey.

Approximately 720 companies are included. No estimate

is derived for the small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, the total value of shipments of switchgear

and switchboard apparatus was $6.7 billion, up 4.8 percent from the 1996 value of $6.4 billion. The 1997 shipments include power circuit breakers, valued at $456.3

million, an increase of 10.6 percent from 1996; low voltage panelboards, valued at $2.2 billion, an increase of 4.4

percent from 1996; fuses and fuse equipment, valued at

$557.4 million, an increase of 6.7 percent from 1996;

molded case circuit breakers, valued at $1.3 billion, an

increase of 5.4 percent from 1996; duct, valued at $278.1

million, an increase of 9.3 percent from 1996; and switchgear valued at $1.9 billion, an increase of 2.3 percent from

1996. During 1997, the total value of shipments of relays

and industrial controls was $9.3 billion, up 2.2 percent

from the 1996 value of $9.1 billion. The 1997 shipments

include general-purpose relays valued at $850.8 million,

an increase of 8.2 percent from 1996; specific-purpose

industrial controls, valued at $3.5 billion, an increase of

2.0 percent from 1996; general-purpose industrial controls, valued at $4.4 billion, an increase of 0.7 percent

from 1996; and motor controller accessories valued at

$554.4 million, an increase of 7.4 percent from 1996.

FLUORESCENT LAMP BALLASTS (MQ36C)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover all companies engaged in the manufacture of fluorescent lamp ballasts. The statistics were

collected by mail on Census Bureau quarterly Form

MQ36C, Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts. The survey panel

includes all known producers of this product, approximately 14 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The value of manufacturers’ shipments of fluorescent

lamp ballasts amounted to $906 million in 1997, a

decrease of less than 1 percent over shipments of $909

million in 1996. The quantity of fluorescent lamp ballasts

shipped increased to 103.9 million units in 1997, from 97

million units in 1996, an almost 7 percent increase in

units shipped. Magnetic type accounted for 65 percent of

the quantity, but only 46 percent of the value of shipments; whereas, electronic type made up only 35 percent

of the quantity, but comprised 54 percent of the value of

shipments.

Magnetic corrected power-factor types accounted for 41

percent of the quantity and 38 percent of the value of

shipments of all fluorescent lamp ballasts during 1997.

For 1997, the quantity of shipments for magnetic corrected power-factor type was unchanged at 42.8 million

units, while magnetic uncorrected power-factor type

remained at 24 million units for the third straight year.

The dollar value of shipments of the corrected type

showed a 12-percent decrease for the third straight year;

while the dollar value of the uncorrected power-factor type

showed a slightly 1 percent increase, remaining around

$68 million for the third year.

The value of shipments of electronic ballasts increased

10 percent in 1997 to $494 million compared $451 million in 1996; continuing its upward trend while reducing

per unit value. Quantity of ballasts increased 21 percent to

36.5 million units, from the 30 million level in 1996.

WIRING DEVICES AND SUPPLIES (MA36K)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

current-carrying wiring devices and noncurrent-carrying

devices in the United States. Very small firms (generally

fewer than five employees) for which 1992 Census of

Manufactures data were derived from administrative

records of other government agencies are excluded. The

statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau annual

Form MA36K, Wiring Devices and Supplies. The survey

panel includes all known manufacturers of wiring devices

and supplies, except the very small firms excluded from

the scope of the survey. Approximately 398 companies are

included. No estimate is derived for the small firms

excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, manufacturers’ shipment of wiring

devices and supplies totaled $9.2 billion, an increase of

4.9 percent from $8.8 billion in 1996. Current-carrying

wiring devices accounted for $4.9 billion, an increase of

1.4 percent from $4.8 billion in 1996, while the

noncurrent-carrying wiring devices accounted for $4.3 billion, an increase of 9.1 percent, from $4.0 billion in 1996.

The 1997 shipments included lampholders, valued at

$193.3 million, up 0.3 percent from $192.6 million in

1996; convenience and power outlets, valued at $411.1

million, up 9.5 percent from $375.4 million in 1996;

switches, valued at $1.6 billion, unchanged from 1996;

metal contacts, valued at $211.5 million, a decrease of

11.6 percent from $239.2 million in 1996; wire connectors, valued at $1.3 billion, up 3.4 percent from $1.2 billion in 1996; other current-carrying wiring devices, valued

at $1.2 billion, unchanged from 1996; pole line and transmission hardware, valued at $738.2 million, up 4.8 percent from $704.1 million in 1996; electrical conduit and

conduit fittings, valued at $2.2 billion, up 11.2 percent

from $2.0 billion in 1996; and other noncurrent-carrying

devices, valued at $1.4 billion, up 8.2 percent from $1.3

billion in 1996.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING FIXTURES (MA36L)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover companies engaged in the manufacture of specified types of electric lighting fixtures, except

very small firms (generally fewer than 10 employees) for

which 1992 Census of Manufactures data were derived

from administrative records of other government agencies.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA36L, Electric Lighting Fixtures. The survey

panel includes all known producers of the specified types

of electric lighting fixtures, except the very small firms

excluded from the scope of the survey. Approximately 320

companies are included. No estimate is derived for the

small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

INTRODUCTION

These data cover all significant manufacturers of semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and other electronic

components. The mailing panel included all establishments with 20 employees or more for industries 3671,

3672, 3674, 3675, 3676, 3677, 3678, and 3679.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA36Q, Semiconductors, Printed Circuit

Boards, and Other Electronic Components. The survey

panel includes all known producers of these products,

except the firms excluded from the scope of the survey.

Approximately 3,480 companies are included. No estimate

is derived for the small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, the total value of shipments of semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and other electronic components totaled $128,099.1 million. This represents a 4.9-

percent increase from the revised 1996 total of

$122,169.3 million. The 1997 data include electron tubes

and parts, $4,293.7 million, an increase of 6.4 percent

from 1996; printed circuit boards, $8,784.6 million, an

increase of 6.9 percent from 1996; semiconductors and

related devices, $68,725.3 million, an increase of 5.0 percent over the revised total from 1996. Capacitors

increased 24.4 percent to $2,006.6 million; resistors

increased by 8.9 percent, to $992.8 million; coils and

transformers had a 1.1-percent increase to $1,450.8 million; electronic connectors had $4,955.7 million in 1997,

compared to $4,542.5 million in 1996, an increase of 9.1

percent; and other electronic components increased to

$36,889.6 million, from a revised 1996 total of $35,949.9

million, an increase of 2.6 percent.

HISTORICAL NOTE

Data on selected electronic and associated products

have been collected by the Census Bureau since 1961 on

survey MA36N, Selected Electronics and Associated Products. In 1985, survey MA36N was divided into three

annual surveys: MA36P, Communication Equipment,

Including Telephone, Telegraph, and Other Electronic Systems and Equipment; MA36Q, Semiconductors, Printed Circuit Boards, and Other Electronic Components; and MA38R

(formerly MA36R), Electromedical Equipment and Irradiation Equipment (Including X-ray). Historical data may be

obtained from Current Industrial Reports available at your

local Federal Depository Library. Historical data are also

available on microfiche; contact Customer Services,

301-457-4100.

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES ELECTRONICS 7-53

U.S. Census Bureau
SELECTED INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED PRODUCTS (MA38B)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

instruments and related products, except very small firms

(generally less than 20 employees) for which 1992 Census

of Manufactures data were derived from administrative

records of other government agencies.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA38B, Selected Instruments and Related

Products. The survey panel includes all known producers

of these products, except the very small firms excluded

from the scope of the survey. Approximately 2,196 companies are included. No estimate is derived for the small

firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, the total value of shipments of selected

instruments and related products totaled $71.8 billion,

up 4.2 percent from the 1996 value of $68.9 billion. The

1997 figure includes automatic regulating, control, and

solenoid valves, $2.6 billion, up 7.4 percent from 1996;

search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and

nautical systems, instruments, and equipment, $29.2 billion, an increase of 3 percent from 1996; laboratory apparatus and furniture, $1.9 billion, up 4.6 percent from

1996; controls for monitoring residential and commercial

environments, and appliance regulating controls, $2.7 billion, up 1 percent from 1996; process control instruments,

ELECTROMEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND IRRADIATION EQUIPMENT

(INCLUDING X-RAY) (MA38R)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover manufacturers of electromedical and

irradiation equipment (including X-ray), except very small

firms (generally less than 20 employees) for which 1992

Census of Manufactures data were derived from administrative records of other government agencies.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA38R, Electromedical Equipment and Irradiation Equipment (Including X-ray). The survey panel

includes all known producers of these products, except

the very small firms excluded from the scope of the survey. Approximately 271 companies are included. No estimate is derived for the small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, the total value of shipments of electromedical and irradiation equipment increased by 4.8 percent to $11.8 billion, from the 1996 level of $11.2 billion.

X-ray and other irradiation equipment increased 8.1 percent from its 1996 level. Electromedical equipment

increased 3.7 percent to $8.6 billion, from the 1996 level

of $8.3 billion.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Research and development. Dollar shipments reflect

income from development, design, and engineering services performed by the reporting plant in connection with

the manufacture of the products shipped, whether

included in a single production contract, or contracted for

separately, but intended as preparation for the manufacture of the specific products.

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 9-3

U.S. Census Bureau
SELECTED INDUSTRIAL AIR POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT (MA35J)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

selected industrial air pollution control equipment. The

statistics in this publication were collected by mail on Census Bureau annual Form MA35J, Selected Air Pollution Control Equipment. The survey panel includes all known

manufacturers of the selected products specifically

designed for use in air pollution control, approximately

120 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Shipments (and onsite construction in certain instances)

of industrial air pollution devices in 1997 totaled $722.5

million, of which $497.4 million were particulate emissions collectors, $194.0 million were gaseous emissions

control devices, and $31.0 million were other types of air

pollution control equipment. Shipments increased by 2

percent from the 1996 level of $709.7 million.

New orders decreased by 21 percent in 1997 to $652.0

million. Backlog of orders decreased by 17 percent in

1997 to $342.1 million.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Net new orders (bookings). Orders received during the

year minus all cancellations received during the same year.

Net new orders are defined to include: (a) the sales value

of orders accepted during the reporting period for products and services to be delivered at some future date; (b)

plus the sales value of orders received during the reporting period for immediate delivery; (c) plus or minus the

net sales value of contract change documents that

increase or decrease (or equal) the sales values of previous orders when the parties concerned are in substantial

agreement as to the amount involved. Included as orders

are only those orders that are supported by binding legal

documents such as signed contracts, letters or awards, or

letters of intent. In the case of letters of intent, the full

amount of sales value is included if the parties concerned

were in substantial agreement on this amount; otherwise,

only the funds specially authorized to be expanded are

included. Orders received and canceled during the year

are excluded.

Backlog of orders. All orders that have not yet been

reflected as shipments. Generally, unfilled orders at the

end of the reporting period are equal to unfilled orders at

the end of the prior period, plus net new orders received,

less net shipments.

Particulate Emissions Collectors

Electrostatic precipitator. A device that separates aerosol

particulate matter (solid or liquid) from industrial gases by

imparting an electric charge to the particles and removing

them from the gas stream with the force created by an

electric field.

Fabrics filter. A device in which the dustbearing gas is

passed through fabrics in such a manner that the dust particles are retained on the upstream or ‘‘dirty’’ gas side of

the fabrics, while the cleaned gas passes through the fabrics to the downstream or ‘‘clean’’ gas side, where it is

removed by natural and/or mechanical means. The fabrics

may be of any fibrous material, natural or manmade.

Mechanical collector. A device for the separation in a dry

state of entrained particulate material from a gas stream

by the application of one or a combination of the following forces: centrifugal, inertial, and gravitational.

Wet scrubber. A device for the removal of particulate contaminants from a gas stream by means of intimate contact

with scrubbing liquid. (If water is added in any form, it is

considered a scrubber, except in the cases of wetted wall

electronic precipitators and those devices which are primarily mechanical collectors.)

Gaseous Emissions Control Devices

Catalytic oxidation system. A device for the removal of

combustible air contaminants in which the contaminantladen stream is preheated by a suitable heating mechanism. The contaminant-laden stream is then passed

through a catalyst bed that initiates and promotes oxidation of the combustible contaminants to carbon dioxide,

water vapor, and other compounds less noxious than

those originally in the gas stream.

Thermal oxidation system. A device for the correction of

combustible air contaminants in which the contaminantladen gas stream is passed over a burner or other suitable

preheat device(s) to a thermal residence chamber where

the contaminant materials are oxidized to carbon dioxide,

water vapor, and other materials less noxious than those

originally in the gas stream.

Direct oxidation system. A device for the destruction of

concentrated combustible or oxidant streams in which the

air contaminant is reacted directly with a fuel or with oxidizing air in a burner flame, and the products of combustion are exhausted into the atmosphere directly or through

a suitable incineration chamber and stack.

9-4 INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
Scrubber (gas absorber). A device for the removal of

soluble or reactive gaseous material from gas streams by

contacting the stream with water, aqueous chemical solution, or other scrubbing liquids. The process involves a

chemical reaction.

Flue gas desulfurization systems (FGD). Chemical process

plants designed primarily for the removal of sulfur oxides

from gaseous products of combustion emitted to the

atmosphere from the use of fossil fuels, in boilers or other

combustion devices operated for the generation of thermal or combustion devices operated for the generation of

thermal or electric energy. The system extends from gas

inlet to gas discharge, including all required auxiliaries

and controls.

Gas adsorber. A device for the removal of air contaminants by adsorption on a surface-active solid such as activated carbon or molecular sieves. Depending on the application, the adsorbent is either discarded or regenerated.

FLUID POWER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING AEROSPACE (MA35N)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover producers of fluid power products,

including aerospace, except very small firms (generally

less than 20 employees) for which 1992 Census of Manufactures data were derived from administrative records of

other government agencies.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35N, Fluid Power Products, Including

Aerospace Products. The survey panel includes all known

producers of fluid power products, approximately 361

companies. This survey does not include products produced and consumed within the same establishment.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, fluid power product manufacturers including

aerospace, had shipments of $11,593.8 million, an

increase of 10 percent from $10,530.0 reported in 1996.

Hydraulic and pneumatic valves increased 10 percent to

$3,226.4 million in 1997 from $2,935.0 million in 1996.

Fittings and assemblies for tubing and hose, excluding

plumbers’ brass goods, increased 9 percent to $2,400.5

million in 1997 from $2,205.8 million in 1996. Hydraulic

and pneumatic cylinders, actuators, accumulators, cushions, and nonvehicular shock absorbers increased by 9

percent to $2,999.3 million in 1997 from $2,755.7 million

in 1996. Compressed air and gas dryers and lubricators

increased 3 percent to $89.8 million in 1997 from $87.5

million in 1996. Filters of hydraulic and pneumatic systems increased to $528.7 million in 1997 from $474.2

million in 1996, a 12-percent increase. Hydraulic and

pneumatic pumps, motors, and hydrostatic transmission

components incurred a 13-percent increase to $2,349.1

million in 1997, from $2,071.8 million in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Accumulators (hydraulic only). Devices that store

hydraulic fluid under pressure as a source of fluid power.

Actuators. Devices that convert fluid power into linear or

rotary mechanical force. Linear types are typically referred

to as cylinders. Rotary types are referred to as rotary

actuators and motors. Motors have shafts that rotate continuously in the same direction. Rotary actuator shafts do

not rotate continuously. Typically, the shafts rotate a certain number of degrees before rotating in the opposite

direction to their point of origin.

Air dryer. A device for reducing the moisture vapor content of the compressed air in a pneumatic system.

Assembly. A length of hose and/or tubing to which fittings have been attached.

Cushion. A device that provides controlled resistance to

nonlinear motion.

Cylinder, electrohydraulic. A hydraulic, linear actuator

that produces a continuously variable mechanical output,

as a function of a continuously variable electronic input

signal (voltage or current).

Cylinder, mill type. A linear actuator that has circular

flanges welded to the cylinder barrel ends. This type of

cylinder is used in severe duty applications like the steel

mills from which it derived its name.

Cylinder, rodless (shuttle). A linear actuator with a rod

that never leaves its case, that is sealed lengthwise. Typically used in position control applications.

Cylinder, telescoping. A linear actuator with nested

tubular rod segments that provide a long working stroke

in a short retracted envelope.

Cylinder, threaded/weld fused combination. A linear

actuator with one threaded end and one weld fused end.

Cylinder, tie rod. A linear actuator with head and cap

end closures that are secured by tie rods.

Filter (filter assembly). A device whose primary function is the retention of insoluble contaminants in a fluid by

a porous media.

Filter element. That part of a filter that retains contaminants. Some elements are permanent (reusable or cleanable) and others are disposable (nonreusable). Disposable

elements must eventually be replaced.

Fittings. Devices used to connect hoses and tubing to

components (valves, cylinders, motors, pumps) of a fluid

power system. They are constructed from metal or plastics

and are sometimes referred to as connectors or couplings.

Gerotor/gerolor. A special type of internal gear motor

where the internal gear is always in sliding contact with

the external gear.

Hydrostatic transmission. A device that combines a

hydraulic pump with a hydraulic motor. Quantity and

value of pumps and motors sold together as transmissions

were reported separately in the relevant pump and motor

categories.

Intensifiers. A device that is driven by a low pressure

fluid to produce fluid at a higher pressure.

Lubricator. A device that adds controlled or metered

amounts of lubricant into a pneumatic system.

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 9-17

U.S. Census Bureau
Manifold (manifold assembly). A fluid conductor that

can provide multiple connection ports. In a fluid power

system, manifolds are typically used as housings for cartridge valves.

Motor. A device that transforms fluid power into rotary

mechanical force. Motors can be hydraulic or pneumatic.

Motor, axial piston. A motor with several parallel pistons arranged around a common axis.

Motor, external gear. A motor that has only external

gears and no internal gear.

Motor, internal gear. A motor with an internal gear that

meshes with one or more external gears. See also

gerotor/gerolor.

Motor, radial piston. A motor with several pistons

arranged to operate radially.

Motor, vane. A motor with multiple vanes that cause

rotation of an internal member when under pressure.

Power unit. A device that combines a hydraulic pump

with a prime mover (usually an electric motor). As is done

for hydrostatic transmissions, the quantity and value of

the pumps and prime movers were reported separately in

relevant categories.

Pump, axial piston. A reciprocating pump with several

parallel pistons arranged around a common axis.

Pump, external gear. A rotary pump that has only external gears, and no internal gear.

Pump, internal gear. A rotary pump that has an internal

gear in engagement with one or more external gears. An

internal gear pump generally has external gears that

rotate on a fixed axis. A gerotor pump differs from other

internal gear types in that its internal gear is always in

sliding contact with the external gear.

Pump, radial piston. A reciprocating pump with several

pistons arranged radially within the pump chamber.

Pump, reciprocating. A pump that uses pistons to create a partial vacuum to draw hydraulic fluid through the

pump inlet. The return strokes of the pistons unseat outlet

check valves and force the fluid through the pump outlet.

Pump, rotary. A pump that uses gears or vanes to cause

rotary motion that moves hydraulic fluid from the pump

inlet to the pump outlet.

Pump, vane. A rotary pump with multiple vanes within a

supporting rotor.

Reservoir, hydraulic. A container for storage of hydraulic fluid under pressure.

Valves, cartridge. Valves with working parts contained

in a cylindrical body. The body must be inserted into a

housing (usually a manifold) for use. Ports through the

body of the valve align with ports in the housing.

Valves, electrohydraulic. Valves that use continuously

variable electronic input (voltage or current) to produce a

continuously variable hydraulic output.

Valve, manually operated. Valves actuated by means of

a hand lever, or other manual energizing device.

Valve, mechanical. Valves that are actuated by cams,

levers, rollers, screws, springs, stems, or other mechanical

energizing devices.

Valve, relief. Direct acting or pilot operated valves that

are used to prevent a hydraulic system from exceeding its

maximum pressure limits.

Valve, remote pilot. Pilot operated valves that are controlled remotely through the use of air pressure.

Valve, solenoid. Valves that are operated by a solenoid.

9-24 INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
PUMPS AND COMPRESSORS (MA35P)

INTRODUCTION

This survey covers companies engaged in manufacturing industrial pumps (reciprocating, turbine, centrifugal,

rotary, diaphragm, and other pumps); domestic water systems; domestic sump pumps; oil well and oil field pumps;

other pumps; air compressors; gas compressors; and

vacuum pumps. Very small firms (generally less than five

employees) for which 1992 Census of Manufactures data

were derived from administrative records of other government agencies are excluded. Excluded from this survey

are hand pumps; measuring and dispensing pumps; automotive circulating pumps; hydraulic fluid power pumps;

paint-spraying equipment; compressors for ice making,

refrigeration equipment, and air-conditioning units; and

replacement and repair parts for pumps and compressors.

The statistics in this publication were collected by mail

on Census Bureau annual Form MA35P, Pumps and Compressors. The survey panel includes all known manufacturers of the covered products, except the very small firms

excluded from the scope of the survey. Approximately 460

companies are included. No estimate is derived for the

small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, manufacturers’ shipments of pumps and compressors totaled $8,655.1 million, an increase of 4 percent

from the 1996 figure of $8,326.7 million. The 1997 total

includes industrial pumps, $3,072.3 million, a decrease of

1 percent from the 1996 total of $3,092.6 million; compressors and vacuum pumps, $3,455.4 million, an

increase of 9 percent from the 1996 total of $3,176.0 million; domestic water systems, $357.2 million, a decrease

of 1 percent from the 1996 total of $361.2 million;

domestic sump pumps, $152.4 million, a decrease of 6

percent from the 1996 total of $162.3 million; oil well and

oil field pumps, $332.7 million, an increase of 22 percent

over the 1996 total of $273.7 million.

Since 1995, replacement parts, sold separately, for

pumps and compressors, are included in the survey total,

although companies which manufacture only parts and

not complete units are presently excluded from the survey. For 1997, in-scope shipments of parts for pumps

totaled $983.4 million, a decrease of 1 percent from the

1996 total of $995.9 million, and in-scope shipments of

compressor and vacuum pumps parts totaled $361.3 million, an increase of 33 percent from the 1996 total of

$271.9 million.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Pump. A device for raising, transferring, moving, or pressurizing fluids.

Driver. An electric motor or a prime mover, such as a

steam engine, steam or gas turbine, or internal combustion engine.

Reciprocating Pumps

Direct-acting steam-driven. A reciprocating pump and a

steam engine built together as a unit. The power to drive

the pump is furnished by the steam engine.

Power-operated, other than steam. A reciprocating pump

driven by power from an outside source applied to the

crankshaft of the pump.

Vertical turbine pumps (including deep well). A submersible pump system, over 5 horsepower. Submersible

pump systems, 5 horsepower and under, are included in

domestic water systems.

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pump. A pump in which the pressure is developed principally by the action of centrifugal force. Pumps

in this class with single inlet impellers usually have a specific speed below 4,200; and with double suction impellers, a specific speed below 6,000. In pumps of this class,

the liquid normally enters the impeller at the hub and

flows radially to the periphery.

Frame-mounted pump. A pump design in which the impeller is mounted on a shaft, held in a bearing frame and

coupled to a motor with a flexible coupling.

Close-coupled pump. A pump design in which the impeller

is mounted on the motor shaft.

Mixed-flow pump. A pump in which the head is developed

partly by centrifugal force and partly by the lift of the

vanes on the liquid. This type pump has a single inlet

impeller with the flow entering axially and discharging in

an axial and radial direction. Pumps of this type usually

have a specific speed from 4,200 to 9,000.

Propeller (or axial-flow) pump. A pump of this type develops most of its head by the propelling or lifting action of

the vanes on the liquid. It has a single inlet impeller, with

the flow entering axially and discharging nearly axially.

Pumps of this type usually have a speed above 9,000.

Single-stage pump. A pump in which the total head is

developed by one impeller.

Multistage pump. A pump having two or more impellers

acting in series in one casing.

Single-suction pump. A pump equipped with one or more

single suction impellers.

1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 9-25

U.S. Census Bureau
Double-suction pump. A pump equipped with one or more

double suction impellers.

Rotary pump. A positive displacement pump, consisting

of a fixed casing containing gears, cams, screws, vanes,

plungers, or similar elements actuated by rotation of the

drive shaft. These pumps are characterized by their close

running clearances and the absence of suction and discharge valves.

Domestic water system. A complete water supply pump

system for household and farm use, containing driver,

tank, and fittings. May include submersible pump systems

5 horsepower and under. Submersible pump systems over

5 horsepower are reported as vertical turbine pumps.

Excluded are irrigation pumps, which are reported under

industrial pumps by class and type of pump.

Jet pump. A pump with built-in jet (ejector) assembly for

either shallow or deep well use.

Nonjet pump. An electrical reciprocating piston pump for

shallow or deep well use.

Submersible pump. A pump completely submerged in

water (well, pond, reservoir, etc.) that uses a series of

impellers and diffusers (stages) on a single shaft or a helical rotor positive displacement design propelled by an oilfilled or water-lubricated motor.

Domestic hand pumps, etc.. Hand, windmill, or enginedriven well pumps not electrically powered.

Oil well and oil field pumps. Included are pumps especially designed for oil well and oil field applications

(except boiler feed).

Vacuum pump. A device for withdrawing air, gas, or air

and gas mixtures from piping systems, enclosed vessels,

or enclosed spaces, discharging the air to the atmosphere,

and removing the moisture.

Compressors. Devices for compressing gases such as air

for motive power or natural gas for the transfer of gas or

for the recovery of liquid hydrocarbons.

Stationary air compressors. Air compressors that are

intended for permanent installation and are not typically

mobile.

Portable air compressors. Air compressors that are mountable on wheels, skids or motor trucks in order to be typically mobile.

Gas compressors. This category includes enginecompressor units that generally consist of an integral

engine compressor block that houses both the engine and

compressor. In such machines, the engine pistons and

compressor pistons are mounted on a common crankshaft.

Value of drivers (electric motors, internal combustion engines, hydrostatic transmissions, steam turbines, etc.) is not included for most product

categories but rather placed in one of four separate ‘‘driver’’ categories corresponding to the first five digits of the product code. There is a ‘‘driver’’

category each for product classes 35612, 35617, 35633, and 35634. Drivers may be included in values for products in product classes 35613, 35614,

35618, and 38210, and in product codes 36512 00, 35617 00, 35633 45, 36533 00, and 36534 00; in these cases they are not in the ‘‘driver’’ codes. 3

included in survey) were estimated from the 1992 Census of Manufactures and subsequent other surveys and records. Estimates were made only to

five-digit product class level. Drivers may in some cases be included. (For product class 35618, there is only one ‘‘kind’’ specified, and beginning with

1996 report, data are split into two product codes, 35618 00 and 35618 02, so that estimates, in latter code, can be kept distinct from reported data.) 14Power pumps for water flooding are reported in product code 35612 86. 15Product codes 35633 29 and 35633 33 sum to: 1997 quantity, 2,183,042; 1997 value, 357,667; 1996 quantity, 1,976,743; 1996 value, 329,232. 16Product codes 35633 45 and 35633 56 sum to: 1996 quantity, 728; 1966 value, 71,414.

U.S. Census Bureau
ANTIFRICTION BEARINGS (MA35Q)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover companies engaged in the manufacture of complete antifriction bearings and components,

including balls and rollers, in the United States.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35Q, Antifriction Bearings. The survey

panel includes all known producers of these products,

approximately 84 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The value of shipments of complete antifriction bearings and components, including balls and rollers, was

$5,735.7 million in 1997, an increase of 5 percent over

shipments of $5,488.0 million in 1996. The 1997 total

includes: complete ball bearings, $2,083.8 million, an

increase of 5 percent over the 1996 value of shipments;

complete tapered roller bearings and roller bearing parts

(except rollers), $1,420.9 million, an increase of 1 percent;

other complete roller bearings, $1,148.7 million, an

increase of 13 percent; mounted bearings (except plain),

$426.1 million, a decrease of less than 7 percent; and

parts and components for ball and roller bearings, sold

separately, $656.3 million, an increase of 7 percent.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Antifriction bearing. A bearing using rolling elements,

i.e., balls or rollers. Plain bearings, i.e., those with no rolling elements, are not included.

Ball bearings, complete. An antifriction bearing using

balls as rolling elements.

Annular ball bearing. An antifriction bearing primarily

designed to support load perpendicular to shaft axis. More

commonly called ‘‘radial’’ ball bearing.

Ground or precision. Excludes all unground ball bearings.

Single-row conrad-ball bearing. A deep groove ball

bearing with only one row of balls and a cage (i.e.,

retainer, separator). Included are all standard and special

types, all inner race configurations (extended, wide, etc.),

and all outer race configurations (spherical outside diameter, cylindrical outside diameter, wide, etc.).

Miniature ball bearing. Ball bearing with outside diameter below, but not including, 3/8 in. or 9 mm outside

diameter.

ABEC 1 and ABEC 3. The ‘‘regular’’ standards of ground

ball bearing precision.

ABEC 5 and up. The higher or ‘‘precision’’ standards of

ground ball bearing precision.

Single-row maximum capacity type. Distinguished

from the conrad type by a filling slot in both outer and

inner rings, which allows the bearing to contain a greater

number of larger balls than the corresponding conrad

bearing without filling slots. Also known as ‘‘max’’ type,

‘‘full complement,’’ or ‘‘filling slot’’ ball bearings.

Integral shaft and integral spindle ball bearings.

Bearings that have a solid inner race, i.e., a shaft that has

the ball raceway(s) ground into the shaft surface, thus

making the inner race/shaft integral to the bearing.

Examples include, but are not restricted to, water pump

bearings, some automotive hub units, and computer

spindle bearings.

Double-row ball bearing. A unitary bearing with two

rows of balls. Includes both angular contact and deep

groove types, and both conrad and max types. All ABEC 1

and up of all standard and special configurations are

included, but self-aligning, double-row bearings are not

included.

Angular contact ball bearings. Bearings that have a

single row of balls whose internal clearances and ball race

locations result in a definite contact angle and predetermined relationship of inner to outer ring faces. All standard and special configurations and all ABEC 1 and up precisions are included.

All other ground or precision ball bearings (ABEC 1

and up). All radial ball bearings not covered previously.

This category includes only those ground ball bearings,

etc., that are not classified above. It includes linear ball

bearings.

Ground ball bearings of less than ABEC 1 precision.

All types of radial (single-row, double-row, angular contact, and other) ball bearings that have ground raceways

but are less than the ABEC 1 precision grade.

Unground, including self-aligning (less than ABEC

1). Antifriction ball bearings with unground raceways. All

radial types, styles, and configurations are included.

Thrust ball bearings. Concentric axial loading only,

both ground (less than ABEC 1 and up) and unground

types, of all configurations. Both single-direction thrust

and double-direction thrust ball bearings are included.

Angular contact bearings are not included.

Other ball bearings. Bearings that do not qualify under

any of the previous categories. This category only

includes bearings that have not been described previously.

9-34 INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT 1997 MANUFACTURING PROFILES

U.S. Census Bureau
Tapered roller bearing. An antifriction bearing using

taper-shaped rollers as rolling elements.

Cup and cone assemblies shipped as a set. This is a

complete tapered roller bearing, which includes the cup

and cone and roller assembly, each of which may be sold

separately.

Cups. Tapered bearing outer races.

Cone assemblies. Tapered bearing inner race, with cage

and rollers.

Other parts, except rollers. Includes cages, spacers,

railroad end caps, and other miscellaneous items.

Cylindrical roller bearing. An antifriction bearing using

cylindrical shaped rollers as the rolling elements. Axes of

rollers are parallel to the bearing axis. Regular (ABEC 1

and 3) and precision (ABEC 5 and up) are reported separately, but within each category all types and configurations are included: single-row and multirow, radial and

thrust, traction motor, journal, aeroengine, and others,

except those classified as needle roller bearings, as

defined below.

Spherical roller bearing. A self-aligning antifriction

bearing using convex (spherical, or barrel-shaped) or concave (hourglass shaped) rollers as the rolling elements.

Within each category of single-row and double-row types,

all configurations of radical and thrust, and all precisions

are included: geared outer, spherangular, air frame, and all

other similar types.

Needle roller bearing. An antifriction bearing using

‘‘needle’’ roller elements. Needle rollers are cylindrically

shaped, but are long and slim, with a uniform diameter

not exceeding 5 mm and having a length of a least three

times the diameter. The ends of the rollers may be of several shapes.

Linear bearings. A roller bearing designed for linear relative motion between its raceways in the direction of rolling. Only includes linear roller bearings. Those pertaining

to ball bearings are included in ‘‘All other ground or precision ball bearings (ABEC 1 and Up)’’ category.

Other roller bearings not specified above. This category includes roller bearings not classified above.

Mounted bearings, except plain. Antifriction ball or

roller bearings that are encased (mounted) in an enclosure

(a mounting, or housing closure) that is usually made of

iron, steel, or rubber. The enclosure, or housing, may be

of one piece (unit) or two-piece (split) construction. Major

types included are pillow blocks, flange units, takeup

units, ‘‘rubber tired’’ bearings, and any other types of

mounted bearings. Loose inserts sold separately are not

included here, but are included in appropriate bearing

categories above.

U.S. Census Bureau
MOTORS AND GENERATORS (MA36H)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

electric motors and generators and engine-driven generator sets in the United States. The statistics were collected

by mail on Census Bureau annual Form MA36H, Motors

and Generators. The survey panel includes all known

manufacturers of these products, approximately 256 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, the total value of shipments of motors

and generators, including interplant transfers, totaled

$10.2 billion, which remains constant with the 1996 value

of $10.3 billion. The 1997 data for individual categories of

motors and generators exhibited the following changes.

The value of shipments of fractional horsepower motors

increased 1 percent, from the revised value of $4.4 billion

in 1996, to $4.4 billion in 1997. The integral horsepower

motors and generators decreased 4 percent from $2.3 billion in 1996, to $2.2 billion in 1997. The value of land

transportation motors and generators was combined with

parts for motors and generators to avoid disclosing data

for individual companies. The value of shipments of prime

mover generator sets increased 16 percent from the

revised 1996 value of $1.5 billion, to $1.7 billion in 1997.

Electric motor generator sets and other rotating equipment, including hermetics and parts, decreased 10 percent from $2.0 billion in 1996 to $1.8 billion in 1997.

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

farm machinery and lawn and garden equipment. Very

small firms (generally less than five employees) for which

1992 Census of Manufactures data were derived from

administrative records of other government agencies are

excluded.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35A, Farm Machinery and Lawn and Garden Equipment. The survey panel includes all known producers of these products, except the very small firms

excluded from the scope of the survey. Approximately 751

companies are included. No estimate is derived for the

small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

During 1997, factory shipments of farm machinery and

equipment, including parts and attachments, produced by

original equipment manufactures (OEM), totaled

$13,993.0 million, an increase of 16 percent from 1996

shipments of $12,108.0 million. Shipments of farm dairy

machines, sprayers, dusters, elevators, and farm blowers,

and parts totaled $796.4 million, a decrease of 5 percent

over the 1996 total of $839.2 million. The value of shipments for harvesting machinery increased 10 percent,

from $2,967.0 in 1996 to $3,249.0 in 1997. Haying

machinery increased 18 percent, from $670.3 in 1996 to

$792.5 in 1997.

The value of shipments for commercial turf and ground

equipment, including parts, was $1,229.1 million in 1997,

a 10-percent increase over the $1,118.5 million reported

for 1996.

The value of shipments of consumer lawn, garden, and

snow equipment, including parts and attachments, was

$5,984.0 million in 1997, a 3-percent increase over the

$5,818.0 million in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

is defined as net fly wheel performance as measured by

the manufacturer, with all standard accessories operated,

and corrected to 29.38 inches mercury Hg and temperature of 85° Fahrenheit.

Lawn tractors and riding mowers. A self-propelled

riding vehicle, generally designed for cutting grass, that is

not capable of pulling a plow.

Garden tractors. A self-propelled riding vehicle designed

for general-purpose lawn and garden work. This vehicle is

capable of pulling a plow. All attachments for garden tractors are removable.

Turf tractors. A self-propelled riding vehicle, typified by

a low center of gravity, equipped with wide turf-tread

tires.

Parts for farm machinery and equipment. Parts are

manufactured components essential to the completeness

and proper operation of a machine, vehicle, or apparatus.

Parts data include only parts sold for replacement and

repair. Parts sold to manufacturers for incorporation in

their own products are excluded.

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

selected types of construction machinery. Very small firms

(generally less than five employees) for which 1992 Census of Manufactures data were derived from administrative records of other government agencies are excluded.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35D, Construction Machinery. The survey

panel includes all known producers of these types of products covered on the survey, except the very small firms

excluded from the scope of the survey. Approximately 260

companies are included. No estimate is derived for the

small firms excluded from the survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Shipments of the types of construction machinery

included in this report, except motor graders and light

maintainers, machinery for mounting on trucks and tractors, etc., winches and other materials-handling equipment for mounting on construction machinery, and aerial

work platforms totaled $13.3 billion, an 11-percent

increase from the 1996 total of $12.0 billion. Shipments of

power cranes, excavators, draglines, and shovels in 1997

totaled $2,928.8 million, an increase of 7 percent from the

1996 shipments of $2,740.3 million. The 1997 shipments

of mixers, pavers, and related equipment totaled $1,276.3

million, an increase of 11 percent from the 1996 total of

$1,145.8 million.

The 1997 shipments of off-highway trucks, trailers, and

wagons totaled $1,590.1 million, a decrease of 3 percent

from the 1996 total of $1,632.6 million. The 1997 shipments of tractor shovel loaders totaled $3,911.6 million,

an increase of 17 percent from the 1996 total of $3,340.1

million. Shipments of crawler tractors, contractors’ offhighway-type wheel tractors, dozers, and self-propelled

wheeled log skidders in 1997 totaled $1,720.3 million,

an increase of 1 percent from the 1996 shipments of

$1,697.2 million.

Shipments of rollers and compactors in 1997 totaled

$654.6 million, an increase of 26 percent over the 1996

figure of $517.6 million. The 1997 shipments for construction machinery (except winches and other materials

handling equipment) for mounting on trucks and tractors

is $254.7 million, an increase of 19 percent over the 1996

total of $214.5 million. The 1997 shipments of roughterrain forklifts totaled $499.9 million, an increase of 21

percent from the 1996 total of $412.3 million. Shipments

of scraper bowls in 1997 totaled $237.5 million, an

increase of 95 percent from the 1996 shipments of $121.5

million. The 1997 shipments of self-propelled continuous

ditchers and trenchers totaled $238.7 million, an increase

of 14 percent from the 1996 shipments of $209.1 million.

Data for shipments of other products were not published

due to confidentiality and revised historic data.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Wheel tractors, contractors’ off-highway type. Wheel

tractors designed primarily to be used as towing units for

scrapers, trailers, wagons, and similar types of towed

equipment for use on natural terrain. These units may be

2- or 4-wheel type.

Loaders. Wheel type, front-end load, integral design, rear

engine mount. Complete machines originally conceived

and designed as heavy duty, wheel type, front-end loaders, and not as wheel tractors, to receive shovel loading

attachments.

Off-highway vehicles. Vehicles designed for operation

off public highways to transport materials or equipment

on mining, construction, logging, petroleum development,

and similar project sites. (Vehicles which provide similar

functions on smooth surfaces in and around warehouses,

depots, and terminals are excluded from this survey.)

Excavator. A commercial earth-moving machine equipped

with a bucket-mounted front-end attachment mounted on

a 360-degree revolving superstructure.

Crane. A machine having a front-end lifting attachment

and operating machinery mounted on a revolving superstructure.

Cable-operated. A machine with front-end attachment

functions performed by wire rope.

Hydraulic excavator. A machine with front-end attachment functions performed hydraulically.

Crawler mounted. A machine with two parallel continuous crawlers or tread belts.

Truck-mounted (rubber). A machine that generally has

two engines, one to propel the carrier and another to

power the work functions. A truck- or carrier-mounted

machine has two operator stations and is designed for onand off-highway travel.

Self-propelled (rubber). A machine which has only one

engine and one operator station. The engine may be

mounted in either the upper or lower works.

Net engine horsepower (nehp). Net flywheel performance as measured by manufacturer, with all standard

accessories installed, operated, and corrected to 29.38

inches mercury (Hg) and temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

U.S. Census Bureau
MINING MACHINERY AND MINERAL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

(MA35F)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover firms engaged in the manufacture of

underground mining machinery; mineral processing equipment; crushing, pulverizing, and screening machinery;

portable oil and gas and water drilling rigs; and related

mining machinery and equipment, including underground

drills and breakers, and mine cars.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35F, Mining Machinery and Mineral Processing Equipment. The survey panel includes all known

manufacturers of mining machinery and mineral processing equipment, approximately 117 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, the manufacturers’ value of shipments of

selected types of mining machinery and related equipment

totaled $2.1 billion, an increase of 18.9 percent from the

1996 figure of $1.8 billion. The 1997 total included shipments of $130.4 million of portable crushing, screening,

washing, and combination plants which was a 34.4-

percent increase from the 1996 total of $97.0 million.

Underground mining machinery equipment totaled $671.4

million in 1997, a 51.5-percent increase from the 1996

total of $443.3 million. In 1997, stationary, crushing, pulverizing, and screening machinery totaled $433.2 million,

a 25.8-percent increase from the $344.6 million reported

in 1996. Drills and other mining machinery totaled $458.8

million in 1997, a 0.7-percent decrease from the $461.8

million reported in 1996. Portable drilling rigs totaled

$433.9 million in 1997, a 2.2-percent decrease from the

$443.9 million reported in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Mining machinery. Heavy machinery and equipment

used by the mining industry in the exploration and development of solid mineral properties. Mining is used here in

the broad sense to include the extraction of solid minerals

occurring naturally such as coal and ores. The term mining also includes quarrying, milling (crushing, screening,

washing, flotation, etc.), and other preparations customarily done at the mine site or as a part of mining activity.

Portable drilling rigs for use in oil and gas fields or for

drilling water wells are also included for the purpose of

this survey.

Auger drills. Machines that use continuous flight auger

bits for removing cuttings.

Bucket drills. Machines that rotate a bucket and remove

cuttings by lifting the bucket to be dumped.

Cable tools. Machines using percussion-type tools and

those that clean the hole using tubular-type bailing tools.

Portable drilling rigs. Drills mounted on a carrier and

used on the surface (above ground).

Pull-back capacity. Lifting capacity of drawworks or

hoisting capacity of taphead.

Pull-down capacity. Capacity to apply bit pressure.

Reverse circulation. Machines using a rotary drilling

process where the drill cuttings and fluid return to the surface inside the drill stem (large diameter holes, 18’’ or

larger).

Rotary drills. Machines using rotary drill pipe, continuous fluid, and a mud pump, air compressor, or combination to clear the hole of filling.

Screens, vibrating. Machines used for dry or wet screening applications such as sizing, washing, and dewatering

of ores, coal, sand, and gravel.

Unit. Complete rig, including carrier.

U.S. Census Bureau
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES (MA35L)

INTRODUCTION

These data cover manufacturers of internal combustion

engines in the United States, except outboard, aircraft,

military tank, and nondiesel automotive engines.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

annual Form MA35L, Internal Combustion Engines. The

survey panel includes all known domestic manufacturers

of the specified types of internal combustion engines,

approximately 38 companies.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, a total of 23,874,385 internal combustion

engines (except outboard, nondiesel automotive, aircraft

and military tank) were shipped or produced and incorporated at the same plant, representing a 2-percent increase

from the 23,352,739 produced in 1996. Gasoline or gasgasoline engines totaled 22,788,206 in 1997, 1 percent

above the figure of 22,658,575 for 1996. The number of

nonautomotive diesel, semidiesel, and dual-fuel engines

produced in 1997 amounted to 313,918, a 14-percent

increase from the 269,727 reported in 1996. There were

763,075 automotive diesel, semidiesel, and dual-fuel

engines produced in 1997, 10 percent more than the

685,072 produced in 1996. Production of gas engines

(LPG and natural) was 9,186 in 1997, 1 percent more than

the 9,092 produced in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Total number of engines produced. Represents all

production of engines for sale to other companies, for

transfer to other plants of the same company or for the

incorporation into other products produced at the plant.

Shipments to distributors and other companies. Represents all shipments to affiliated and nonaffiliated

distributors, plus all other shipments to nonaffiliated

companies.

Interplant transfers. Represents the number and value

of engines transferred to other plants of the reporting

company for incorporation into machinery or equipment

in those plants. Shipments to distributors (whether affiliated with the company or not affiliated) are excluded.

Transfers to other plants of the same company are

reported at market value.

Produced and incorporated. Represents engines produced and incorporated into other products in the same

plant such as construction and farm machinery (including

tractors); engine-driven generator sets; and other products

incorporating an engine manufactured in the same plant.

Horsepower. A unit for measuring the power of motors

or engines, equal to 746 watts or to a rate of 33,000 footpounds per minute (the force required to raise 33,000

pounds at the rate of 1 foot per minute).

Piston displacement. The volume (measured in cubic

inches) displaced by a stroke of a piston (one cubic inch is

approximately 16.387 cubic centimeters).

End application. The end application or use to which the

engine was destined. Engines may not be used ultimately

for the specific application intended or supposed by the

producer.

INTRODUCTION

These data cover all companies engaged in the manufacture of industrial type metal cutting and metal forming

types of metalworking machinery, including numerical

control types.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

quarterly Form MQ35W, Metalworking Machinery. The survey panel includes all known manufacturers of metal cutting and metal forming machinery. Approximately 391

companies are included.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Shipments of metalworking machinery during 1997

totaled $5,010.3 million, an 8.7-percent increase from the

$4,607.8 million shipments for 1996. Exports during the

year were valued at $697.9 million, a 2.1-percent decrease

from exports valued at $713.1 million during 1996. The

value of unfilled orders on December 31, 1997 totaled

$2,142.6 million. The December 31, 1996 unfilled orders

were valued at $2,347.1 million.

Shipments of metal cutting type machine tools in 1997

totaled $3,583.3 million, a 14.1-percent increase from the

$3,141.1 million shipped during 1996. For 1997, shipments of lathes accounted for $480.7 million; grinding

and polishing machines, $595.0 million; milling machines,

$280.2 million; and boring and drilling machines, $169.4

million. The corresponding figures for 1996 were: lathes,

$451.1 million; grinding and polishing machines, $541.3

million; milling machines, $199.7 million; and boring and

drilling machines, $188.4 million.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Exports. Includes both shipments for direct export and

shipments to agent or exporters for shipment to foreign

countries.

Metal cutting type machine tools. These are defined as

new, industrial type, power-driven, complete machine

tools, not supported in the hands of an operator when in

use. They are used for removing metal in the form of

chips, turnings, and borings. Also included are honing

machines, lapping machines, grinders, and machines

which cut using electrical techniques. Excluded are

machine tools designed primarily for home workshops,

laboratories, garages, and services shops. These are small,

low-priced machine tools of light construction. Also

excluded are rolling mill machinery, power-driven hand

tools, wood working machinery, and rebuilt machinery.

Metal forming type machine tools. These are defined

as new, industrial type, power-driven, complete machine

tools, not supported in the hands of an operator when in

use. They are used to press, forge, emboss, hammer,

extrude, blank, spin, shear, or bend metal into shape.

Numerically Controlled Machines by Type:

Positioning. Machines equipped with positioning numerical

control systems activated by direct data input (DNC); e.g.,

punched tape, punched cards, magnetic tape, cassette, or

manual data input (MDI). Included in this group are all

machines that have been equipped with control systems in

which point-to-point positioning and cutting or forming

(regardless of the number of movement ‘‘axes’’ or auxiliary

functions) are controlled automatically via numerical programs inserted into the systems. If a machine has been

equipped with a control system that permits positioning

and continuous path operations, it is classified as continuous path.

Continuous path or computer numerical control. Machine

equipped with continuous path numerical program control

systems activated by direct data input (CNC); e.g.,

punched tape, punched cards, magnetic tape, cassette, or

manual data input (MDI). Included in this group are all

machines equipped with control systems in which, in addition to point-to-point positioning, the path of cutting is

automatically controlled by means of numerical programs

inserted into the systems. If a machine has been equipped

with a control system that permits positioning and continuous path operations, it is classified as continuous

path.

Digital readout systems including dial or plugboard.

Machines equipped with digital readout systems or dial or

plugboard type of prerecorded motion program control

systems. Included in this group are all machines equipped

with control systems in which positioning or continuous

path are automatically commanded by numerical programs fed into the system, by an operator, through dials,

plugs, switches, or any other numerical method.

rating of less than 10,000 pounds per axle are excluded.

The statistics were collected by mail on Census Bureau

monthly Form M37L, Truck Trailers. The panel for this survey consists of all known manufacturers of truck trailers

meeting the required specifications, approximately 156

companies.

Participation in the monthly survey is voluntary. However, annual reports are required from those companies

that do not report monthly. The annual summary includes

revisions of monthly data originally estimated for companies that only report annually.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The value of factory shipments of complete truck trailers was $4,262.0 million in 1997, an increase of 11 percent from shipments of $3,844.7 million in 1996. Quantity

of complete truck trailer shipments for 1997 was 233,483

units, an increase of 15 percent from shipments of

202,912 in 1996.

Complete trailer vans shipped in 1997 increased 15

percent in quantity and 7 percent in value from the 1996

levels. The quantity of tank-type trailers shipped in 1997

decreased 11 percent and their value increased 10 percent

from the 1996 levels.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Truck trailers. A property-carrying vehicle, or chassis

thereof, drawn by a truck or truck-tractor and having one

or more axles. Only trailers with a rating of 10,000

pounds or more per axle are included in this survey. Trailers that are produced on a purchased or leased chassis are

included. The value of these trailers includes the value of

the purchased or leased chassis.

Complete trailers. A trailer in which the body is permanently attached on the chassis. New trailer chassis

shipped with detachable trailers are not included.

Detachable trailer bodies. A detachable trailer generally is designed to be used with trailer chassis, except

Aerospace Industry

AEROSPACE INDUSTRY (ORDERS, SALES, AND BACKLOG)

(M37G AND FORMERLY MA37D)

INTRODUCTION

The data in Tables 1 through 4 cover the manufacture

of complete civilian aircraft and aircraft engines in the

United States. Parts sold separately are excluded.

The data in Tables 5 through 8 cover establishments

primarily engaged in the development and/or manufacture

of aerospace products, including aircraft, aircraft engines,

aircraft parts and accessories, missiles and space vehicle

systems, missile and space vehicle engines or propulsion

units, and parts and subassemblies for missiles and space

vehicles. An establishment is ‘‘primarily engaged’’ in aerospace if the value of aerospace products and services produced by that establishment exceeds the value of the

establishment’s production of other goods and services.

Company plants or divisions in which the primary activity

is other than the development and/or manufacture of

aerospace products and services are not included in this

survey.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

In 1997, the value of complete civil aircraft shipments

increased by 40 percent to $30.1 billion, from the 1996

level of $21.4 billion. Shipments of complete civil aircraft

engines increased by 69 percent to $8.3 billion, from the

1996 level of $4.9 billion.

The backlog of orders for aircraft, missiles, space

vehicles, and engines, as of December 31, 1997, was

$234.5 billion. This was a 2-percent increase from the

1996 backlog of $229.9 billion.

Net new orders received during 1997 were $119.9 billion, a 5-percent decrease from the $126.3 billion received

in 1996. Net sales, receipts, and/or billings in 1997

totaled $114.2 billion, an 11-percent increase from the

$103.1 billion reported in 1996.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

Shipments (or net sales). Represents consolidated

company sales, receipts, or billings, net after discounts

and allowances. For firms reporting only for specific aerospace divisions or plants, it includes the value of the division or plant sales only. It includes all sales from aerospace production and receipts for research and

development performed for others. Transfers to other

reporting units (for example, separate aerospace divisions

of the same company) are included. For commercial aircraft and aircraft engines, shipments represents physical

shipments from domestic establishments. All products

sold, transferred to other plants of the same company, or

shipped on consignment are included whether for domestic use or export. Products bought and resold without further manufacture are excluded.

Work performed under a fixed price contract is reported

as a shipment if the product is delivered during the year.

Work done on a cost-plus contract reflects cost incurred

plus a portion of the profits for the contract (value of work

done) during the year. Value of work done may be based

on (a) multiplying the estimated percentage of work completed during the year by the contract price, or (b) net billings for work done during the year.

Aircraft. Includes lighter-than-air aircraft (balloons and

airships), as well as heavier-than-air aircraft, however propelled, but does not include spacecraft.

Civil. This term refers to all aircraft and aircraft engines

not built for military applications. All civil (including general aviation and commercial type) aircraft, regardless of

end use, are included.

Fixed-wing (powered) aircraft. Aircraft having wings

fixed to the airplane fuselage, which are outspread in

flight and powered by engines.

Rotary lift aircraft. Any heavier-than-air aircraft that

depends principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by one or more rotors (helicopters, auto-giros, etc.).

Turbofan. A turbojet engine whose thrust has been

increased by the addition of a low pressure compressor

(fan). The turbofan engine can have an oversized lowpressure compressor at the front with part of the flow

bypassing the rest of the engine (front fan or forwardfan)

or it can have a separate fan driven by a turbine stage (aftfan).

Turbojet. Jet engines incorporating a turbine-driven air

compressor to take in and compress the air for the combustion (or the heated air) being used both to rotate the

turbine and to create a thrust-producing jet.

Turboprop. Engines in which the main propulsive force

is supplied by a gas turbine-driven conventional propeller.

Additional propulsive force may be supplied from the

discharge turbine exhaust gas.

Net new orders. Includes (a) the sales value of orders

received during the current reporting period for products

and services to be delivered at some future date; (b) the

sales value of orders for immediate delivery that have

resulted in sales or shipments during the current reporting

period; and (c) the net sales value of contract change

documents that increase or decrease the sales value of the

orders to which they are related, when the parties concerned are in substantial agreement as to the amount

involved. The sales value of cancellations of existing

orders is deducted. Only those orders that are supported

by binding legal documents, such as signed contracts or

letter contracts, are included as orders. In the case of letter contracts, the full amount of sales value is included if

the parties concerned are in substantial agreement on this

amount; otherwise, only the funds specifically authorized

to be expended are included.

Backlog, end of year (unfilled orders). Includes all

orders as defined above that have not yet been reflected

as shipments. Generally, unfilled orders at the end of the

reporting period are equal to unfilled orders at the end of

the prior period, plus net new orders received, less net

shipments.

Prime contracts and subcontracts. Separate dollar

values are reported for prime contracts and those received

under subcontracts. All subcontracts, including those

where it is known that the prime contract was let by a

government, are reported as subcontracts received from

‘‘other customers.’’

Military and nonmilitary. The term ‘‘military’’ refers to

complete aircraft, aircraft engines, missile systems, space

vehicle systems, engines and/or propulsion units for missile systems or space vehicles, and other aerospace

related activities for military applications, whether for tactical, strategic, or support functions. The term ‘‘nonmilitary’’ refers to the same products not built to military

specifications.

TYPE OF CUSTOMER

U.S. Government (military). Includes contracts with the

Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. Government

agencies for products built to military specifications. Contracts for which the ultimate customer is a foreign customer such as contracts made under the Foreign Military

Assistance Program, are excluded.

Other governments (military). Includes contracts for

products built to military specifications for governments

other than the United States. It includes contracts through

DOD or other U.S. Government agencies for which the ultimate customer is a foreign government. Contracts for foreign governments not to military specifications are classified as ‘‘nonmilitary’’ to other customers.

‘‘Net new orders under subcontract’’ are included with ‘‘Prime contract net new orders’’ to avoid disclosing data for individual companies.

2

Data for ‘‘Engines and/or propulsion units for space vehicles, including parts,’’ are included with data for ‘‘Engines and/or units for missile

systems, including parts.’’ 3

Data for ‘‘Other missile activities’’ are included with data for ‘‘Other aircraft and space vehicles.’’

Note: Net new orders represent new orders received during the year, less terminations during the year. In some cases current backlog will not

equal backlog for previous period, plus current net new orders, minus current shipments. This is primarily due to respondents changing their

accounting procedures from one year to the next. Data for these respondents were not changed to force a balance. Significant imbalances due to

reporting errors were investigated and corrected. Detail items may not add to total because of independent rounding.

Publication period: A = Annual; M = Monthly (data reflects twelfth month); Q = Quarterly (data reflects fourth quarter) 2

Reporting requirement will be either voluntary or mandatory, V or M, respectively.

3

Received coverage rate is ratio of value of shipments of establishments responding to survey to total value of shipments of that survey. For

example, 85 to 89 percent response in M37G survey accounts for between 95 and 98 percent of total value of shipments of products collected in that

survey. 4

Coverage and response rate ranges:

Response rate Range (percent)

9 99+

8 95 to 98

7 90 to 94

6 85 to 89

5 80 to 84

4 75 to 79

3 70 to 74

2 65 to 69

1 60 to 64

0 59 or less

5

Active response rate is ratio of number of establishments responding to survey to total active establishments of that survey. For monthly and

quarterly surveys this is calculated on monthly or quarterly portion rather than mandatory annual counterpart. Both response rate and coverage rate

would be higher if the annual portion were included. 6
