Radial sealing surface system and method

A metallic seal, comprising:

• a rib;
• a first leg, coupled to the rib, having a first sealing profile;
• a second leg, coupled to the rib, having a second sealing profile;
• an inner bore including a first inner diameter extending for a first length in a linear orientation, a second inner diameter extending for a second length in the linear orientation, and a step between the first inner diameter and the second inner diameter;
• a first radial contact point, aligned with the first inner diameter, at a first radial distance from a rib end, the first radial contact point arranged along a first transition between the rib and the first sealing profile;
• and
• a second radial contact point, aligned with the second inner diameter, at a second radial distance from the rib end, the second radial contact point arranged along a second transition between the rib and the second sealing profile, wherein the first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance.

A metallic seal, comprising:

• a seal body;
• a first leg having a first sealing profile;
• a second leg having a second sealing profile, the first and second legs separated by at least a portion of the seal body;
• an inner bore including a first inner diameter and a second inner diameter, each of the first inner diameter and the second inner diameter positioned in a linear orientation, wherein the first sealing profile is arranged at a first angle relative to the first inner diameter and the second sealing profile is positioned at a second angle relative to the second inner diameter;
• a first radial contact point positioned along a first flat of the seal body at a first transition between the first flat and the first sealing profile;
• and
• a second radial contact point positioned along a second flat of the seal body at a second transition between the first flat and the second sealing profile, wherein the second radial contact point is at a larger outer diameter of the seal than the first radial contact point.
