    Abstract: Apparatus can comprise a conduit with at least one slot of a plurality of slots comprising an intermediate length including a maximum width that is less than a maximum width of a first end portion and/or a maximum width of a second end portion of the slot. In some embodiments, methods produce a glass ribbon with an apparatus comprising at least one slot within a peripheral wall of a conduit. In some embodiments, methods are provided for determining a volumetric flow profile dQ(x)/dx of molten material flowing through a slot in a peripheral wall of a conduit. In some embodiments, methods and apparatus provide a slot extending through an outer peripheral surface of a peripheral wall of a conduit that can comprise a width profile d(x) along a length of the slot to achieve a predetermined volumetric flow profile dQ(x)/dx of molten material through the slot.

    Abstract: Glass manufacturing apparatus can comprise a forming device comprising a pipe. The pipe can comprise a pipe wall defining a flow passage and a slot extending through the pipe wall. Glass manufacturing apparatus can further comprise a thermal control device defining a thermal control path. A projection of the thermal control path can intersect a footprint circumscribed by an outer periphery of the slot. Methods of manufacturing glass can comprise flowing molten material along a flow direction of the flow passage. Methods can also comprise flowing the molten material through the footprint of the slot. Methods can further comprise operating a thermal control device defining a thermal control path. A projection of the thermal control path can intersect the footprint. Methods can additionally comprise adjusting a temperature of the molten material at a location where the thermal control path intersects the molten material.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of forming a laminated glass ribbon may include flowing a molten glass core composition and a molten glass cladding composition in a vertically downward direction. The molten glass core composition may be contacted with the molten glass cladding composition to form the laminated glass ribbon comprising a glass core layer formed from the molten glass core composition and a glass cladding layer formed from the molten glass cladding composition. Core beads located proximate an edge of the glass core layer and clad beads located proximate an edge of the glass cladding layer may be compressed while the glass core layer and the glass cladding layers have viscosities greater than or equal to the viscosity at their softening points as the laminated glass ribbon is drawn in the vertically downward direction.

    Abstract: Apparatus can comprise a containment device including a surface defining a region extending in a flow direction of the containment device. A support member positioned to support a weight of the containment device can comprise a support material with a creep rate from 1 x 10 -12 1/s to 1 x 10 -14 1/s under a pressure of from 1 MPa to 5 MPa at a temperature of 1400°C. In some embodiments, the support material can comprise a ceramic material. In some embodiments, the support material can comprise silicon carbide. In some embodiments, a platinum wall can be spaced from physically contacting any portion of the support member. In some embodiments, methods can comprise flowing the molten material within the region in the flow direction while supporting a weight of the containment device with the support member.
