Abstract: A corrosion limiting device for use with a fluid-carrying piping system having a connection formed from first and second components. A seal is carried by the components for forming a fluid-tight seal between the components. The components form a groove external of the seal. The corrosion limiting device includes an elongate member having first and second end portions and a length sufficient to extend around the groove. At least a portion of the elongate member is adapted to seat within the groove for aligning the elongate member on the components. The first and second end portions of the elongate member are fastened together. The elongate member serves to inhibit corrosion of the connection.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing bolt loads which includes first and second flanges having opposed faces. A plurality of bolts extend through the faces for securing the flanges together. A sensor is carried by each of the bolts for measuring the load experienced by the bolt. An output mechanism is coupled to the sensor for permitting the load on one of the bolts to be analyzed relative to the load on another of the bolts.
