Dynamic flange seal and sealing system

A flange to flange dynamic seal for use in a high pressure, high temperature environment, said seal comprising:

• an iconel bellows seal contained and supported within a recess formed in a sealing surface of a first flange and extending into a recess in a sealing surface of a second flange upon connection of said flanges, each of which said flanges are complimentary to each other, said iconel bellows seal is biased and dynamic to allow for variations in the structure of said flange connection, said iconel bellows seal providing a biased, dynamic seal and flange seal between said first and second flanges.

A flange to flange dynamic seal for use in a high pressure, high temperature environment, said seal comprising:

• a bi-material gasket supported within a recess of a sealing surface of a first flange, said bi-material gasket comprising a flexor and a flexible sealant attached thereto, that, upon said connection of said first flange to a second flange, said flexor is caused to contract an amount relative to the amount of force exerted and applied thereon as generated from said flanges upon connection, said flexor resultantly forcing said flexible sealant to displace against said sealing surfaces of said first and second flanges and form a seal and flange seal therebetween.

A flange to flange dynamic sealing system comprising:

• an iconel bellows seal contained and supported within a recess formed in a first flange, said iconel bellows seal comprising at least one form seal and providing a biased, dynamic seal;
• and
• a bi-material gasket supported within said first flange and positioned adjacent said iconel bellows seal, said bi-material gasket comprising a flexor and a flexible sealant attached thereto, said flexor is caused to contract as said first flange and a second flange are coupled together, thus resultantly displacing said flexible sealant against said first and second flanges and forming a seal therein, said iconel bellows seal and said bi-material gasket function together to form a flange seal between said first flange and said second flange.
