Embodiment Construction
[0031] Now especially with reference to Figure 3-5, an exemplary ring seal 300 for sealing opposing flow component sealing surfaces defining a fluid flow path will be described. The terms "lower" and "upper" are expressions with reference to the drawings only and do not necessarily correspond to the orientation of the seal assembly in actual installation. The illustrated ring seal 300 includes an annular seal body 305 defining a shaft bore 310 for passage of fluid in an axial direction as illustrated by arrow 315 . The sealing material should have elastic properties to allow compression and rebound when compressed between elements defining the flow path to provide a good seal along the axial flow path. Seals such as 316 duplex stainless steel, nickel, Hastelloy (HASTELLOY from Central States Industrial Equipment & Service, Inc.) and AL-6XN (from Central States Industrial Equipment & Service, Inc.) are exemplified as suitable materials.
