Fragrance Oils For Burners

Now then, I asked a very tough question, one that no one wants to answer, and no one wants such an answer to get in the way of free-trade. We want world trade because we want everyone to get along. That makes sense, but when one nation is selling steel pipe, and dumping on the market for a lower price than it actually costs to produce, we have a problem. Worse, if that steel piping is inadequate, inferior, and does not have the same structural integrity either.

An interesting article in China Economic Review; "US Places Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Drill Pipe Imports," on June 10, 2010. And there was another article in the Wall Street Journal; "US Hits China with Steel Penalty," by Robert Guy Matthews, on June 8, 2010.

Many years back people complained that Japan was selling steel to US markets really cheap and we found that that steel was not as strong as US steel. Apparently they didn't have the correct coking coal, or the high value iron ore and purity in the reserves that the US had. This means that any of these steel bridges, rebar, or steal skyscrapers that were built with Japanese steel, had the chance of failure, or at least a greater chance that they might fail in the future. That's unacceptable obviously.

But, what if British Petroleum, and other oil companies, oil contractors, and drilling companies, are using cheap steel pipe made from China and extreme situations that require "Modern Marvel" level engineering, so they can work under massively extreme pressures? It has been estimated that the pressure per square inch going into the pipe at the bottom of the BP oil well is 70,000 pounds per square inch.

Therefore, even our best steel would be less than adequate, as it wouldn't have the safety rating or working pressure extra tolerances. So, using poor quality steel made in China at that point is a losing proposition. In fact, I now have a question to ask, and that question is; how many other oil drills, and pipes are being used under these extreme conditions, and how many of those steel pipes were bought from China? Will we see more of this in the future? I hope not.
