The secrets for superiority in corrosion resistance and weldability:

There are many reasons. The materials and methods of manufacture in this cargo oil pipe are unique in the world, making the pipe itself a type that can be found nowhere else.

Corrosion resistance has been proven by more than fifteen years of use without re- placement. A real record-breaking event.

The highest degree of weldability gives it the greatest facility of use.

The material is KCP-3L, a chrome manga- nese steel especially developed by Kubota.

It is made by Kubota's exclusive centrifugal casting techniques, widely acknowledged to be of the highest technological level. That is why a full 95% of all Japanese tankers use

Kubota cargo oil pipe. And shippers around the world are following suit.
