摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a float sheet glass, the method including: producing a molten glass by supplying a glass raw material into a melting bath; supplying continuously the molten glass onto a surface of a molten metal held in a bath including bottom bricks and a bottom casing which covers the bottom bricks; and causing the molten glass to flow in a predetermined direction along the surface of the molten metal, and then float-forming the molten glass into a band plate-shaped glass ribbon, in which a fluctuation range of a temperature of an external surface of the bottom casing is controlled to fall within 4°C.
摘要:
A top roller, which is difficult for a flow path for cooling water to be narrowed or clogged therein, and which is capable of properly working for a long period of time, is provided. A top roller comprising a rotatable leading edge portion, which is adapted to be used for controlling the shrinkage of a molten glass ribbon in a float bath and to be brought into contact with the molten glass ribbon, the leading edge portion having a hollow structure including a leading edge space therein; wherein cooling water having a hardness of at most 100 (mg/L) passes through the leading edge space.
