Not only did Kubota, Ltd. make a contract for the use of patent rights with United States Pipe & Foundry in 1952, but the company also began to manufacture various kinds of centrifugally cast steel pipes for heat resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, structure and so forth. The method was developed by the company itself. Reformer tubes were manufactured for a methanol plant for the first time in 1956 and delivered to a certain company. As shown in Fig. 1, the reforming tubes and cracking tubes manufactured for ammonia, hydrogen, town gas and ethylene have increased remarkably in accordance with the development of the petrochemical industry and town gas plants.
