摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for producing a tube of glass by zonewise heating and softening of a hollow cylinder by a movable heating zone while rotating about its rotation axis. The glass tube is continuously formed by radial expansion of the softened region under action of centrifugal force and/or internal overpressure applied in the hollow-cylinder bore. The method and apparatus make it possible to deform the hollow cylinder in a single or a small number of forming steps into a glass tube having a larger outer diameter and high dimensional accuracy by determining a circumferential position at which the wall thickness is comparatively small, and during heating and softening of the rotating hollow cylinder a coolant is dispensed from a coolant source onto the deformation zone only when or predominantly when the circumferential position having the comparatively small wall thickness passes the coolant source.

摘要: A softened section of length of a glass tube is expanded in a dimensionally accurate mold until it has assumed the dimensions of the mold, the mold being made of a material of lower thermal expansion than that of the glass, so that, after cooling, the calibrated section of tube can be released from the mold without any problems. A block of a .alpha.-o glass ceramic with a calibrated mold bore is preferably employed as the mold. It is possible for the first time to avoid a material-removing machining step, which causes damage to the glass surface, yet to be able to produce sections of the tube with a calibrated outside diameter of a dimensional accuracy which could previously be attained only by cylindrical grinding.

摘要: THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE STRENGTHENING OF GLASSCERAMIC ARTICLES WHEREIN THE CRYSTAL CONTENT THEREOF COMPRISES THE PREDOMINANT PORTION AND HAVING CRYSTALS CONTAINING MAGNESIUM, ALUMINUM, AND SILICON IONS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CORDIERITE, ENSTATITE, SPINEL, AND QUARTZ SOLID SOLUTIONS CONSTITUTING THE PRINCIPAL CRYSTAL PHASES. THE STRENGTHENING IS EFFECTED THROUGH AN ION EXCHANGE REACTION CARRIED OUT WITHIN A SURFACE LAYER OF THE GLASS-CERAMIC ARTICLE WHEREIN LITHIUM IONS FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE ARE EXCHANGED FOR MAGNESIUM IONS IN THE CRYSTAL PHASE TO CAUSE THE CRYSTALS IN THIS SURFACE LAYER TO BE TRANSFORMED TO BETA-EUCRYPTITE OR BETA-SPODUMENE, THIS TRANSFORMATION RESULTING IN THE SURFACE LAYER HAVING A LOWER COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION THAN THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE ARTICLE AND THEREBY CREATING AN INTEGRAL SURFACE COMPRESSION LAYER IN THE ARTICLE.

摘要: THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE STRENGTHENING OF GLASSCERAMIC ARTICLES IN WHICH THE CRYSTAL CONTENT THEREOF COMPRISES THE PREDOMINANT PART OF THE ARTICLES AND CONTAINING NEPHELINE AS THE PRINCIPAL CRYSTAL PHASE. THE STRENGTHENING IS EFFECTED THROUGH THE CONVERSION OF AT LEAST PART OF THE NEPHELINE CRYSTALS IN A SURFACE LAYER OF THE ARTICLE TO LOW EXPANSION LITHIUM ALUMINO-SILICATE-TYPE CRYSTALS SUCH AS BETA-EUCRYPTITE AND BETA-SPODUMENE SOLID SOLUTION TYPE CRYSTALS, THE CONVERSION CAUSING THE SURFACE LAYER TO HAVE A LOWER COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION THAN THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE ARTICLE AND THEREBY CREATING AN INTEGRAL SURFACE COMPRESSION LAYER IN THE ARTICLE. THE TRANSFORMATION OF NEPHELINE CRYSTALS TO THE BETA-EUCRYPTITE TYPE CRYSTALS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH AN ION EXCHANGE REACTION TAKING PLACE WITHIN A SURFACE LAYER OF THE ARTICLE WHEREIN LITHIUM IONS FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE ARE EXCHANGE FOR SODIUM IONS IN THE NEPHLINE, THIS EXCHANGE ITSELF BEING UNDERTAKEN AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE OR THIS EXCHANGE BEING UNDERTAKEN AT A LOW TEMPERATURE AND BEING FOLLOWED BY A HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT TREATMENT.

摘要: Provided herein are measurement systems including a micrometer assembly for receiving a length of tubing, the micrometer assembly including a plurality of non-contact optical micrometers disposed around the length of tubing for measuring an outer diameter (OD) at a first plurality of positions along a circumference of the length of tubing. The measurement system may further include a displacement gauge assembly for receiving the length of tubing from the optical micrometer assembly, the displacement gauge assembly including a plurality of non-contact gauges disposed around the length of tubing for measuring a wall thickness at a second plurality of positions along the circumference of the length of tubing. A controller receives the OD measurements and thickness measurements, and determines an inner diameter and a concentricity of the length of glass tubing based on an index of refraction of the length of glass tubing, the OD measurements, and the thickness measurements.

摘要: A method for forming a hollow cylinder, in a single step or in as small a number of steps as possible, into a quartz glass tube with a large outer diameter and high dimensional stability is provided. The cylinder, while rotating about a rotation axis, is softened in portions in a heating zone which is moved at a relative feed rate Va, and the softened portion is radially expanded by a centrifugal force and/or an internal overpressure applied in the hollow cylinder bore so as to form a deformation zone. The tube is continuously shaped with an outer diameter D2 which is greater than that of the hollow cylinder D1. The radial expansion of the softened portion is carried out at a location-dependent radial expansion rate Vr, the profile of which along the deformation zone has a maximum value Vr,max which is smaller than two times the feed rate Va.

摘要: A resilient discharge lamp. The resilient discharge lamp includes a tube, electrodes, and a gas. The electrodes are disposed at opposite ends of the tube, and the gas fills the tube. The tube is of such a diameter so as to be resilient and allow the resilient discharge lamp to be bent repetitively as desired. In an alternate embodiment, the opposite ends of the tube are widened to provide more space for the electrodes. In another alternate embodiment, the tube is bent onto itself so as to form a generally U-shape.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing glassware, in particular rotationally symmetrical glassware, such as a glass syringe, a glass carpule, a glass vial or a glass ampule, wherein the method comprises the steps of rotating a glass intermediate, in particular a glass tube, with a receptacle rotational speed about a receptacle rotational axis, rotating at least one forming roller with a roller rotational speed about a roller rotational axis, and displacing the at least one forming roller and the glass intermediate for shaping in a forming roller contact, from which the receptacle rotational axis is spaced in a radial direction about an intermediate radius and from which the roller rotational axis is spaced in a radial direction about a roller radius, wherein the ratio of the roller rotational speed to the receptacle rotational speed during the method is controlled as a function of the ratio of intermediate radius to roller radius.
