NAICS 333914

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the common standard U.S. statistical agencies use to categorize business establishments so they can collect, analyze, and publish economic data consistently. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget with Canada’s Statistics Canada and Mexico’s INEGI, NAICS replaced SIC in 1997 and is revised every five years; the current published vintage is 2022. ¹

NAICS 333914 is the 2022 U.S. industry titled “Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing,” situated under industry group 33391 (Pump and Compressor Manufacturing). Federal statistical programs use this code to classify establishments that manufacture measuring/dispensing pumps and related pumping equipment for tabulating industry-level data and publishing economic statistics under the 2022 NAICS framework. ⁵

What this NAICS covers

• Manufacturing of measuring and dispensing pumps used for motor fuels (e.g., gasoline dispensing pumps). ³
• Manufacturing of lubricating oil measuring and dispensing pumps. ³
• Manufacturing of other pumping equipment classified in this industry (as indicated by the 2022 title). Detailed subcomponents are not specified by official sources. ⁵
• Manufacturing within pump/compressor industry group 33391 focused on measuring/dispensing applications rather than general-purpose pumps. ³
• Excludes fluid power pumps and motors (333996) and air/gas compressors (333912), which are classified elsewhere. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What products fall under NAICS 333914? Official materials show measuring and dispensing pumps (such as gasoline and lubricating oil dispensing pumps). The 2022 title adds “other pumping equipment,” but detailed examples beyond measuring/dispensing pumps are not specified by official sources. Establishments are classified based on manufacturing these products as their primary activity. ³

• How is NAICS 333914 different from 333911 and 333912? 333911 covers general-purpose pumps (e.g., centrifugal, rotary), while 333912 covers air and gas compressors and related units. NAICS 333914 centers on measuring/dispensing pumps and its titled “other pumping equipment.” ³

• Did this industry change from NAICS 2017 to NAICS 2022? The Census Bureau adopted 2022 NAICS and provides comparative/bridge tables for industries affected by code/title changes between 2017 and 2022. The 2022 industry title “Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing” appears as 333914. Specific mapping details are provided in the bridge statistics. ⁴

• Where do federal data using NAICS 333914 appear? The 2022 Economic Census and subsequent program adoptions publish industry statistics on the 2022 NAICS basis according to the Census implementation timeline. As agencies transition, data products (e.g., Economic Census tables and related releases) reflect 333914 under the Manufacturing sector for reporting and analysis. ²

• Are installation, maintenance, or repair services included here? NAICS classifies establishments by their primary production process; 333914 is a manufacturing classification. Installation or repair services may fall under services codes if performed independently of manufacturing. The treatment of such services specific to this equipment is not specified by official sources. ¹
