Then they need to have some stern discussions with their mill supplier. There was a rash of "316” stainless in the US food/bev process equipment industry about 10 years ago that had significant corrosion issues. Tubing, valves, heat exchangers. The ”316” that was coming from overseas was, in fact, 304 or even lower grades. Hard lessons were learned about testing materials and mill certs.
