EROSION RESISTANT MOUNTING COMPOSITE FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER

摘要

A catalytic converter (10) or diesel particulate trap having a monolithic ceramic element or diesel particulate filter mounted within a metallic casing (11) by a resilient, flexible, erosion resistant mounting composite. The erosion resistant mounting composite is comprised of an intumescent mounting mat (32) protected on at least one lateral edge by a strip of metal fabric (34).
