Sealing arrangement for flange connection, has broad head area lying in groove against side walls in flexibly deformed manner, and sealing element attached at flange surface, which lies opposite to groove

摘要

The arrangement has a flange (2) with a flange surface (4), and another flange (6) with another flange surface (8). A flexible sealing element (10) seals a gap between the flange surfaces, which connects a space within a region of the sealing element with another space. The element has a narrow base area (20) and a broad head area (24), which lies in a groove (12) against side walls (26, 28) in a flexibly deformed manner. The walls limit the groove, which is circumferentially formed in the former surface. The element is attached at the latter surface, which lies opposite to the groove.
