<p>A method of controlling the erosion of a refractory threshold over which molten glass flows transverse to the longitudinal centerline thereof, which includes preferentially cooling the central portion of the threshold while maintaining the marginal edge portions at a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the molten glass. A cooling fluid conduit extending longitudinally through the refractory threshold is thermally insulated adjacent its end portions, thereby localizing the cooling effect towards the central portion of the threshold.</p> |
