✦ Synopsis

while the latter is installed between two flanges. Each segment comprises a curved flank, a further flank serving as a point of attack for a rotating mechanism, and a third flank for the attachment of the segment to the sealing ring. The segment is provided as a onepiece unit that is relatively small in size. The segments can be mounted irrespective of the nominal pressure and the nominal diameter. This allows the sealing arrangement to be manufactured cost-effectively. Various embodiments of these segments are described in the patent.
