In a most general form the sealing system of the invention may be described as a system comprised of a pair of clamping members and a sealing member between them. The sealing member is defined by a generatrix following a closed-loop curved line around the longitudinal axis. In any partial cross section in a plane perpendicular to a projection of a tangent of the closed-loop curved line onto the plane P, the generatrix of the sealing member has a substantially diagonal orientation between the clamping members. When the clamping members are moved towards each for clamping the sealing member, the axial clamping force is magnified and converted into a compression force along the generatrix.
