iam a pipe welder and do a lot of work in power plants and paper mills.when a component is installed into a pipe system a flange is welded to the pipe and the component is bolted to the flange.i heard today that china has banned the use of china made bolts in there power plants.because the bolts are junk and fail under the pressure.
