Seal assembly and joint bushing

Abstract

Disclosed is a sealing arrangement (10) for producing a sealing function in an, in particular static, pipe connection, in particular between a fluid-carrying pipe (11) and a connection sleeve (12). The sealing arrangement (10) comprises a ring seal (20) arranged in a circumferential groove (121), a seal seat (30) and a clamping element (40) for clamping the ring seal (20). The sealing arrangement (10) has a pressure side. The seal seat (30) is arranged in the circumferential groove (121) on the pressure side and has overflow openings (31) so that the ring seal (20) is exposed to the pressure of the fluid on the pressure side. Additionally or alternatively the seal seat (30) is arranged in the circumferential groove (121) and is configured to be conically tapering in the direction of the pressure side so that by clamping the ring seal (20) this is compressed in a radial direction, wherein the circumferential groove (121) remains accessible on the pressure side.
