While systematic monitoring has increased in importance, structural monitoring, including gasket, seal, diaphragm, pressure vessel and solid component structural health monitoring is only conducted after the failure occurs. As a result, once a breakdown happens, forced shutdowns must be initiated- which loses money and manufacturing time.

MCET has developed technology that can provide real-time structural monitoring of pressure and structural integrity by using non-invasive embedded sensor technology that uses multi-walled, nanotube technology.
