When the material tube 1 is continuously conveyed and heated to the stretching temperature, elongation in the length direction that occurs due to the weight of the material tube or contact with various parts of the device can be prevented by conveying it while being placed on the carrier belt 3. . Then, by once nipping it with the take-up rolls 4 and then stretching it, it is possible to stretch it in the radial direction with very little elongation in the axial direction. This stretching in the radial direction is carried out, for example, immediately after passing through the take-up roll 4, by the cooled outer diameter regulating device 5.
It can be continuously stretched in the radial direction to a predetermined diameter by the internal pressure caused by the pressurized air trapped in the tube between the tube and the subsequent nip roll 6.

In the present invention, when steam is used as a heating means in the heating zone 2, the thermal efficiency is better than heating by hot air or radiation, and unlike heating by hot water, it is difficult to prevent the material tube 1 from rising due to buoyancy. This is the most suitable method because it does not require any equipment.

The tube is taken up at the same speed as the carrier belt, guided to the outer diameter regulating device 5 with an inner diameter of 2.5 mm, and the inside of the tube up to the nip roll is filled with pressurized air of 1.0 Kg/cm 2 to stretch it in the radial direction to form a tube with an outer diameter of 2.5 mm and a thickness. A heat-shrinkable tube 12 with a length of 0.19 mm was obtained. This heat-shrinkable tube 12
