ABSTRACT:
A valve stem seal comprising a cylindrical stem-sealing membrane and a membrane supporting flange. The membrane has a corrugated profile which defines one or more loop-shaped channels bounded by contact surfaces on a radially inner face and each channel is inclined at 5.degree.-10.degree. with respect to a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The channels form a labyrinth seal for any fluid leaking along the outer surface of the stem. A support bearing for the stem is provided on the membrane supporting flange.
