Observations of vessel interior form

No appreciable deviation from the ideal interior shape was observed in the high precision vessel.

Conventional glass processing technology provided a large deviation of actual interior shape of the vessel from its ideal interior form. It indicated an unevenness exceeding 1.5 mm at the height of the undulations on the surface of the inside of the vessel. A large deviation was also observed for the inside cylinder. The whole inner surface was obviously found to be uneven in the vessels produced by conventional glass processing. [Fig.1]
On the other hand, an integrated glass fabrication technology gave almost the ideal interior form. The height of undulations was below 0.14 mm. No apparent deviation was observed for the inside cylinder. The entire inner surface was found to be even in the high precision vessel.

Fig.1  Comparison of deviation from the ideal interior form of the vessel between the two kinds of glass vessels manufactured by conventional glass processing and an integrated fabrication technology
The center line between the two green lines indicates the ideal interior form of the vessel. The red zone indicates the actual deviation of the interior form of the vessel from its ideal interior form. The green lines indicate the ideal interior form ±0.3mm. Each right figure (2) indicates the result of the determination at an angle of 90° from the left figure (1).
Each determination was carried out by utilizing a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine (Brown & Sharpe, PMM-C700P).
