Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing ring comprising a molded elastomer ring having an inner ring contained therein which forms a pipe joint between two abutted pipe ends. Each of the pipe ends includes a recessed part, a flange or the like, which can be clamped together, for example, by means of a screw, and each of which has a sealing cavity into which the two axial ends of the sealing ring sealing the joint project. The axial ends of the sealing ring are deformed by the clamping together of the two recessed parts or the like and conform to the contour of the interior of the corresponding sealing cavity. To facilitate assembly and improve sealing properties, the two outer annular edges of the molded elastomer ring which rest against the surface of the two pipe ends are rounded and thus provided with a radius (R1).
