An improved "infield" cylindrical sealing gland which is constructed to be secured in mating relation providing a positive seal to the pump housing to supplement a sealing assembly for pumps and other machinery, including rotating shafts. The contacting surface of the gland in face-to-face relation to the pump housing is provided with one or more annular grooves in which are seated O-rings which bear against the surface of the pump housing. Structure is provided to interpose a viscous liquid into the grooves to produce hydraulic pressure against the internal surfaces of the O-rings compressing them against the surface of the pump housing in order to compensate for mismatches in the surfaces caused by corrosion, or other discrepancies.
