Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the production of a tube having, in sections, a non-circular profile by deforming, comprising: a) providing a tube, which has a circular initial profile; b) conveying the tube in a hot, malleable state through a nip, which is formed by squeezing rollers and has a first nip width, which is larger than or equal to an outer dimension of the initial profile; c) adjusting the squeezing rollers for setting a second nip width, which is smaller than the outer dimension of the initial profile, and deforming the initial profile in said hot, malleable state for obtaining said non-circular cross section; and d) adjusting the squeezing rollers for setting a third nip width, which is larger than or equal to the outer dimension of the initial profile, and severing said tube in a region having a circular cross section; so that respective end portions of said tube have a circular cross section According to the invention, the tubes can be connected reliably with connecting-members or other tubes via the end portions having the circular profile using proven tube connection technologies. At the same time there is at least one central section having a non-circular cross section which is of advantage, for example for applications in photobioreactors.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides the installation of an apparatus for cooling a manufactured glass rod. The apparatus has at least two cooling chambers arranged along the glass strand for sectional cooling of the glass strand. A gaseous cooling medium is either blown into the cooling chamber or sucked out of the cooling chambers. The glass strand is passed through each cooling chamber, with an orifice provided at each of the pass-through points, whose opening is larger than the cross-section or diameter of the glass strand. As a result, an annular gap forms between the opening and the surface of the glass strand, so that a turbulent flow of the gaseous cooling medium is generated, which enables a high cooling rate.

Abstract: A glass tube element having a hollow cylindrical section with a shell having an outer diameter is provided. A first ratio is a difference value to a mean value. The difference value is a difference of a minimal and maximal value of the outer diameter. The mean value is a mean of the minimal and maximal values. A sub-section having a start, an end, and a distance of 1 meter measured along a straight line from the start to the end and intersecting with a center axis of the sub-section at the start and the end. The sub-section having, for every point of the center axis, a shortest distance to the straight line. A second ratio of a specific distance to 1 meter, the specific distance being defined as a largest of all shortest distances. A product of the first and second ratio is smaller than 4×10−6.

Abstract: A glass tube has a center axis, where for the glass tube a specific cross-sectional plane is defined which includes the center axis and which is parallel to the center axis. Within the specific cross-sectional plane, for each pair of outer diameters d1 and d2 of the glass tube at any two arbitrarily selected first axial position x1 and second axial positions x2 along the center axis, respectively, the following relation is 60 or smaller: |(d2−d1)/(x2−x1)|*(10{circumflex over ( )}6 mm)/d1.

Abstract: A glass tube element having hollow cylindrical section that has a shell enclosing a lumen and extends along a main extension and an optical delay of a light ray. The shell has a surface facing away from the lumen. The optical delay has values that all fall within a range having a size of between 3 and 30 nm. The optical delay being an optical measurement of the glass tube element by the light ray extending along a measurement path in a direction of perpendicular to the main extension and tangent to a surface of the shell. The measurement path touches the surface for different measurements at different positions each having a different azimuth angle within a cylindrical coordinate system fixedly attached to the glass tube element and having an origin on a center axis of the glass tube element.
