Abstract

Bolted flange joint sealing and monitoring apparatus is disclosed for a bolted flange joint comprising two flanges abutting one another at an interface, each flange having a series of holes therein, the holes of the two flanges of the joint aligned and receiving a bolt therein, and the abutting flanges providing an inner surface and an outer surface. The sealing and monitoring apparatus provides a seal on the inner surface of the interface. The sealing and monitoring apparatus includes: a first, frangible, sealant applied to the interface on the inner surface; a first layer of sheet material overlying the first sealant and adapted to provide an air space; a second layer of sheet material overlying the first layer of sheet material; a second sealant overlying the second layer such that the air space is air tight; a vacuum source in fluid communication with the air space; and vacuum monitoring means to monitor the status of a vacuum created in the air space.
