Abstract

A silica product, method and apparatus for manufacturing a tube-shaped silica glass product using a molded green body having a hollow rod structure. A molded green body having a hollow rod structure has a uniform outer diameter and has a bore having an inner diameter increasing gradually from one end to the other. When sintered in a vertically movable sintering furnace, a tube-shaped silica glass product having a longitudinal cross section distribution less than a tolerance limit may be obtained. Optical fiber manufactured using the silica glass tube according to the present invention may have a uniform longitudinal geometrical structure, thereby exhibiting superior transmission characteristics.
