Abstract: An apparatus for producing glass ribbon comprises a melting vessel configured to melt a batch of material into a quantity of molten glass. The apparatus includes a cooling conduit with a peripheral wall comprising platinum and defining an interior pathway configured to provide a travel path for the quantity of molten glass traveling from the first conditioning station to the second conditioning station. The peripheral wall includes an outer surface defining a plurality of elongated radial peaks spaced apart by a plurality of elongated radial valleys. The elongated radial peaks and elongated radial valleys are helically wound along an elongated axis of the cooling conduit. In further examples, methods are provided with the step of passing molten glass through the interior pathway of the cooling conduit to pass the molten glass from the first conditioning station to the second conditioning station.
