摘要:
In a method of manufacturing the glass tube of the invention, a glass tube having an inner diameter of a predetermined size is formed by forming a softened portion by heating a glass material and inserting an inner forming member to the softened portion. An outer diameter of the softened portion is formed into an outer diameter of a predetermined size by bringing an outer forming member movable in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction axis of the glass material into contact with an outer circumference of the softened portion.
