    Abstract: A glass tube making apparatus comprises a forming device with a shaping member positioned within a downstream portion of an outer tube. In further examples, methods of making a glass tube include the steps of passing a quantity molten glass through an upstream portion of the outer tube, wherein the molten glass includes a first cross-sectional shape. The method further includes the step of passing the quantity of molten glass through a downstream portion of the outer tube, wherein the first cross-sectional shape is transitioned to a second cross-sectional shape. In still further examples, methods of making a glass tube include the step of modifying a cross-sectional shape of the glass tube with an air bearing.

    Abstract translation: 玻璃管制造装置包括具有定位在外管的下游部分内的成形构件的成形装置。 在其他实施例中,制造玻璃管的方法包括使量的熔融玻璃通过外管的上游部分的步骤,其中熔融玻璃包括第一横截面形状。 该方法还包括使熔融玻璃量通过外管的下游部分的步骤,其中第一横截面形状转变到第二横截面形状。 在另外的实施例中,制造玻璃管的方法包括用空气轴承改变玻璃管的横截面形状的步骤。
