Abstract
An elongated, tubular casing contains a bundle of hollow fibers with closure members at both ends thereof. Each closure member comprises a cup-shaped member connected in sealing relation at its rim to the ends of the tubular casing. Each cup-shaped member also defines an extended cylindrical portion positioned remotely from the rim having an inner diameter less than the relatively enlarged, inner diameter portion, and the tubular casing carries a hollow, elongated member or potting boat during manufacture containing a curable liquid sealant, as a means for inserting the sealant into the ends of the tubular casing by centrifugation.
