METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EXTRUDING ARTICLES A fused silica glass tube (26) is extruded from a melt (21) in a chamber (11) pressurized with an inert gas. A shield (for example 29) is placed in close, spaced, relation to the melt (21) surface during the gas pressure extrusion process to substantially eliminate losses from the melt due to vaporization.
