FIBER FORMATION BY USE OF HIGH VELOCITY GAS BLAST ATTENUATION

摘要

FIBER FORMATION BY USE OF HIGH VELOCITY GAS BLAST ATTENUATION Method, and equipment are disclosed for forming fibers from attenuable material, such as molten glass, by the use of high velocity whirling gas currents or tornadoes. Attenuation is preferably effected in two stages, each of which utilizes a pair of high velocity whirling currents or tornadoes, with the gases in the two tornadoes of each pair turning in opposite directions and and with the attenuable material introduced into a zone between the tornadoes of each pair.
