Abstract: The device has a first metallic junction element affixed to a first pipe element and a second metallic junction element affixed to second pipe element. One of the junction elements is provided with an elastic lip cooperating with a frontal face provided on the other junction element.The element provided with an elastic lip has a nozzle element made of a metal or metallic alloy that is compatible from a welding point of view, with the material of the pipe element to which it is joined by welding, and cooperates with a tightening nut, and an end piece having an axial cross-section in the shape of a horizontal u so as to define the said elastic lip, the said end piece being made of a material that is different to that of the nozzle element so as to provide improved mechanical characteristics giving the elasticity that is necessary for the junction, and being affixed to the free end of the nozzle element by diffusion welding.

Abstract: The static seal comprises a semi-rigid annular part (11) shaped as a bead and first and second wings (12, 13) extending transversely with respect to the seal axis and laterally connected to the bead portion (11) in a gradual manner by means of concave surfaces with a large curvature radius. The seal has in its axial cross-section the shape of a V lying on its side, the tapered surfaces (16, 17) of the branches (12, 13) of the V being slightly inclined with respect to the planar surfaces (18, 19) of the bead (11) to which they are attached. The branches (12, 13) of the V forming the wings have an elasticity such that by flexure of said tapered surfaces (16, 17) of the V branches and slight flexure of the bead (11), the extremities of said surface may form with the planar surfaces (18, 19) of the bead (11) to which they are attached two sealing regions. Said seal is intended to be used in severe conditions of temperature, pressure, vibrations and chemical attack.
