<p>The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a catalytic converter (2) comprised of a tube (4) having a diameter and a combination including a monolith substrate (6) and a mat material (12). A plurality of representative combinations of monolith substrate (6) and a mat material (12) are compressed to obtain a set of data characterizing the representative combinations. A combination of monolith substrate and a mat material are compressed to obtain a first set of data characterizing the combination. The combination is recompressed to obtain a second set of data characterizing the combination; the combination is inserted into said tube; and said tube is sized based upon the curve and the first and second set of data characterizing said combination.</p> |
