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.
