Yalian Steel Wins API Certification For X70 Grade Pipe

British Columbia-based Yalian Steel Corp.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Yangzhou Yalian Steel Pipe Co. Ltd., received approval for certification and license registration of 5L X-70 Grade pipe and is applying for additional certification of up to X-100 for its high-grade steel large-diameter pipe mill from the American Petroleum Institute (API).

The API 5L X-70 certification acknowledges that Yalian’s steel pipes meet exacting criteria and enables the company to use API Spec 5L on its steel pipe products and participate in the bidding process for numerous large-scale international and domestic pipeline projects in China.
