Abstract
A method of potting in a single or multi-cavity mold a plurality of fibers in continuous tow form to encapsulate the fibers, fill the interstices and form a solid tubesheet of selected shape and length. After transversely cutting through the thus formed tubesheet and the fibers therein a pair of tubesheets are formed each attached to and forming the end portion of a length of fibers. Potting at spaced longitudinal locations on the continuous tow, and transverse cutting, produces fiber bundle assemblies having a length of the tow of hollow fibers between a pair of axially spaced tubesheets. The process is semi-continuous or continuous, as desired.
