ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic connector for a subsea well assembly has spherical hydraulic seats. Each seat has the same radius of curvature in a vertical direction as in a horizontal direction. Each connector member has a plurality of hydraulic passages, each hydraulic passage having a port terminating at the hydraulic seat. The ports of one of the connector members register with the ports of the other connector member. A counterbore is located at the port of each hydraulic passage of the one connector member, defining a recessed base. A seal element is located in each counterbore. The seal element is frusto-conical and is formed of a plurality of conical metal and elastomer laminations alternating with each other.
