Sensor Detects Seal Anomalies
- 總結
- Researchers at Purdue University have developed technology capable of sensing the viability of a seal based on prior Purdue patented technology that designed life sensors for hydraulic hoses. The technology's use extended into various fields including tires, pipes, and composite materials, which led to another patent. This same technology's sensor data can help predict catastrophic failure of seals and determine the need for inspection or even preventative maintenance. This technology can reduce safety risks and economic loss due to equipment downtime.
