<p>A system and method for an asymmetric K-ring is disclosed. The system and method is for forming a K-ring with the dynamic sealing surface (514) closer to one edge or face (506) of the k-ring than the other edge or face (504) . The asymmetrically placed dynamic sealing surface creates a larger bevel (510) on one side of the K-ring thereby reducing the sealing force produced by the K~ring when pressure is applied to the side of the K-ring with the larger bevel .</p>
