A leading seafood processing company in the United States required a complete stainless steel pipeline system for their new production line. The facility, located in a coastal region, demanded materials with exceptional corrosion resistance to withstand the harsh salt-fog marine environment while meeting stringent HACCP food hygiene standards for seafood processing. After evaluating multiple suppliers across Europe and Asia, the company selected YUHAO Stainless Steel as their strategic pipeline solution partner.
YUHAO delivered a comprehensive 316L stainless steel pipeline package totaling 27 tons, encompassing the following categories:
| Product Category | Specifications | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Flanges | ASTM A182 F316L WN & SO flanges, ASME B16.5 standard, RF raised face sealing | 1,260 pieces |
| Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings | 316L seamless elbows, tees, reducers, caps, ASTM A403 standard, food-grade internal & external polishing | 7.2 tons |
| Stainless Steel Seamless Pipes | TP316L industrial seamless tubes, ASTM A312, OD 25–219mm, uniform wall thickness | 18.6 tons |
| BA Tubes | Bright Annealed precision BA tubes, internal surface Ra ≤ 0.8μm, food hygiene standard compliant | 1.3 tons |
Compared with the client's original European and American suppliers, YUHAO's solution achieved a 32% reduction in overall procurement costs, translating to USD 46,000 in direct savings for this project alone. This significant cost advantage was delivered without compromising on material quality or certification standards.
The original purchasing cycle from the client's previous suppliers ranged from 60 to 75 days. YUHAO completed full production and ocean shipment within just 32 days, ensuring the new production line could be commissioned on schedule. When the client urgently needed 200 additional non-standard flanges mid-project, YUHAO expedited production and delivered the extra batch within 7 days, preventing any construction delays.
After 18 months of continuous operation, the full set of 316L food-grade flanges and fittings demonstrated outstanding durability against coastal salt fog corrosion. No flange leakage or pipe rust issues were reported, and the annual pipeline maintenance shutdown loss was reduced by 95%.
The high-precision polished inner surface of BA bright annealed tubes passed US food hygiene inspection with zero residual impurities and low microbial adhesion, fully compliant with HACCP seafood processing standards and ensuring safe sterilization fluid delivery.
Following the successful completion of the initial 30-ton trial order, the client signed an annual framework procurement agreement, committing to stable annual orders of 65 tons of stainless steel pipes, flanges, and fittings. YUHAO has become the client's core long-term partner in the North American market. Furthermore, this satisfied seafood client has referred YUHAO to two additional food processing factories in the United States, generating two additional stable foreign trade orders and reinforcing YUHAO's growing reputation in the US food processing sector.
