Abstract

In a method of manufacturing porous glass base for optical fiber, a liquid organic siloxane raw material stored in a raw material tank of internal pressure P1 is controlled by a mass flow controller at a predetermined flow rate and pumped through pipe of internal pressure P2 to a vaporizer, the liquid raw material is vaporized in the vaporizer and supplied as a gas raw material to a burner, and the silica fine particles formed by burning the gas raw material in the burner are deposited to form a porous glass base material, where P1≤P2 is satisfied.
