This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Through comprehensive engineering studies conducted in partnership with the College of Engineering at the University of Rhode Island, CET has developed engineering models to optimize the fabrication of underwater carbon fiber pressure vessels. These models have been thoroughly validated and proven through testing at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) Hydrostatic Test Facility.
