Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a glass sheet stably reduces a variation in a thermal shrinkage rate to 15 ppm or less. The method includes a melting step of melting, in an electric melting furnace, a glass batch prepared so as to give glass comprising 3 mass % or less of B2O3, a forming step of forming a molten glass into a sheet-shaped glass, an annealing step of annealing the sheet-shaped glass in an annealing furnace, and a cutting step of cutting the annealed sheet-shaped glass into predetermined dimensions, to thereby obtain a glass sheet having a β-OH value of less than 0.2/mm and a thermal shrinkage rate of 15 ppm or less. The method includes measuring a thermal shrinkage rate of the glass sheet and adjusting a cooling rate of the sheet-shaped glass in the annealing step depending on variation in thermal shrinkage rate with respect to a target value.
