ABSTRACT:
A parted sealing ring having a gap includes inner and outer faces, upper and lower sides and a bi-directional ring joint defined by a parted annular body at the gap. The joint includes a pair of circumferentially projecting elements. The projecting elements define circumferentially offset, oppositely facing sealing surfaces. The sealing surfaces are inclined and converge towards the outer circumferential face of the ring. The sealing surfaces are also spaced axially apart at the outer circumferential face of the ring. The sealing surfaces of one end of the ring body seat against and form a seal with the oppositely facing sealing surfaces on the other end of the ring body when the gap in the ring is closed.
