Definition
This class consists of units mainly engaged in manufacturing air or gas compressors, pumps or pumping machinery (except for refrigeration or air conditioning compressors or parts). Pumps transport of bodies of water, a range of other liquids (e.g. fuels, foods, concrete, acids and manure), and liquefied gases and metals. Additional functions such as metering, measurement, aeration or filtration of the liquids may also be provided. A compressor compacts (squeezes) air, gas or a fluid under pressure to create a force.
