Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to easily form a layer of sealing material with a uniform thickness on the end surface, on the outer circumferential end surface or the inner circumferential end surface of a tube by combining a dipping operation with a stamping operation. CONSTITUTION:A disc-shaped plug member 16 is brought into contact with an end 1a of a filter 1 or annular plug member with flange 36 is slipped onto the end 1a, whereby the end 1a is forced into a solution 12 of sealing material in a container 13 against a spring 15 and dipped therein, so that the outer circumferential end surface 1c or inner circumferential end surface 32b is dipped in the solution 12, whereby a layer of sealing material is formed on said end surfaces. Then the filter 1 is pulled out of the solution 12 and the end surface of the end 1a is pressed on a sponge 21 impregnated with the solution 12 in a stamp vessel 20 so that a layer of sealing material is formed on the end surface of the end 1a. In this manner, by applying a very simple operation, a layer of sealing material can be formed precisely and easily in a desired region around the end 1a of the filter 1.
