  • Patent number: 11919794
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a tube of quartz glass by molding a hollow cylinder having a wall thickness of at least 20 mm, the cylinder is continuously fed under rotation about a rotational axis into a heating zone at a relative feed rate VC, softened and radially expanded under the effect of a gas pressure. A tube strand is continuously formed and is withdrawn at a withdrawal rate VT. In order to mold thick-walled initial hollow cylinders of quartz glass into tubes with larger diameter, the gas pressure is used as an actuating variable of a diameter regulation for the tube outer diameter or for a geometrical correlated parameter thereof, and in a pressure build-up phase the gas pressure is gradually increased from a lower initial value to a higher final value, and that the following applies to the ratio of VC and VT:VT=VC±0.2·VC.
