The joint comprises two sealing surfaces (6, 36), one positioned on each of two end portions (2, 4) of two pipes. The sealing surfaces are adapted axially to be forced together to a position in which one of the sealing surfaces encloses the other sealing surface while forming a cylindrical or somewhat conical sealing space, and further comprising a sealing device positioned in the sealing space thus formed and comprising a sealing ring (18) which is connected with one of the pipe end portions and is compressed in the sealing space. The pipe end portion with which the sealing ring (18) is connected in connection with the sealing ring has a circumferential cavity (34) adapted partially to receive the elastic material of the sealing ring (18) when the joint is provided by axially forcing the sealing surfaces (6, 36) together. The sealing surfaces (6, 36) are adapted after the establishment of the pipe joint to provide sealing space sections having a small and substantially equal space width on either side of the sealing ring (18) in the axial direction of the joint for forming supports for carrying the transverse loads on either side of the sealing ring. |
