Abstract: A flanged joint for a pressure medium. The flanged joint includes a first component and a second component having an interior. Also included is at least one flat gasket held between facing surfaces of the first and second components. An annular groove and a radially opposed working diameter are located between the interior and the at least one flat gasket. At least one lamella ring is held in the annular groove and biased, essentially without a gap, against the working diameter.

Abstract: A pipe connection for exhaust pipes of internal-combustion engines. The pipe connection includes an axial and radial plug and an angle compensation. The pipe connection further includes a first pipe, a second pipe and an interior part at an end of the first pipe. The interior part is enveloped by a bell part at an end of the second pipe. The pipe connection further includes at least one lamellar ring held in an annular groove in either a) a radially outer surface of the interior part or b) a radially inner surface of the bell part. The at least one lameller ring is tensioned against either a) the radially outer surface of the interior part or b) the radially inner surface of the bell part. Either a) the radially outer surface of the interior part or b) the radially inner surface of the bell part is constructed as a concave surface. The at least one lameller ring is tensioned against the concave surface.
