A mold equipped with a core having a plurality of branching columnar
distal portions in the extrusion direction and a die having an aperture
surrounding the distal portions. A softened flexible resin is injected
from one end of a resin flow path formed between the core and the die and
extruded in order to form a pipe material having a plurality of circular
liquid flow paths which are mutually independent and have the same inner
diameter. The distal portions of the core shaped as a row of circular
distal portions aligned on the same axis, where the two edge distal
portions have a smaller diameter than the distal portions disposed
between the edge distal portions, while the portions of the aperture
surrounding each of the distal portions have the same diameter.
