Abstract: In a known procedure for manufacture of a quartz glass body, a glass starting material and fuel gas are fed to a rotationally symmetrical deposition burner (1) having several annular gap nozzles (7-9) and being formed by coaxial arrangement of a number of quartz glass tubes (2-5), such glass starting material in a burner flame forming SiO2 particles which, under back and forth motion of the deposition burner (1) along the longitudinal axis of a rotating mandrel (12), are deposited on such rotating mandrel under formation of an essentially cylindrical porous blank. To enable replacement of such deposition burner without major efforts in terms of work and costs, the procedure of the inventioin proposes to use a deposition burner (1) the annular gap nozzles (7- 9) of which have gap widths with a maximum dimensional deviation of 0.
