Pipe joint seal for polymer piping
A seal assembly is configured for use at PVCO pipe junctions. The seal assembly includes a main seal body made of a monolithic resilient material, such as rubber, and a stiffener. The seal has a stiffener pocket sized and configured to accept the stiffener, such that the stiffener can be assembled to the seal body by hand. This assembly can then be installed into the bell end of a first PVCO pipe, and a spigot end of a second PVCO pipe may then be inserted into the bell end and engaged with a main sealing lobe of the seal assembly. The seal assembly is configured to reliably withstand the insertion process, without damage or degradation to the sealing structures. Once installed, the seal assembly provides a robust fluid-tight seal along all potential leak paths between the seal assembly and the first and second pipes.

Seal ring and hose connector assembly
A seal ring has a central axis and an elastic ring member made of elastic material and an annular body portion and a flange surrounding the annular body portion. The thickness of the flange is smaller than the thickness of the annular body portion as measured in the axial direction of the seal ring. A hose connector assembly includes the aforementioned seal ring.

Gasket with electrical isolating coatings
An electrically isolating gasket is disclosed wherein a coating layer is disposed on at least one conductive surface, and in some embodiments, on all surfaces or at least all of the conductive surfaces. The electrically isolating gasket includes a core gasket component, a ring seal component, and a non-conductive inner seal component. The coating layer can be, for example, polyimide, polyamide, ceramic, and aluminum oxide.
COUPLING ASSEMBLY FOR PIPE CONNECTION
Disclosed is a coupling assembly for pipe connection, which, even when connecting pipes having different diameters to each other, can reduce the resistance against a fluid flowing inside the pipes, can be installed in a state where couplers are temporarily assembled using fastening members, and is not deformed during the fastening process and thus can also be stably fixed after the fastening process.

Gasket
A gasket for sealing a gap between a through hole formed on a wall body and a pipe to be inserted into the through hole, the gasket being provided for the pipe and made of tubular elastic material, the gasket having an inner circumferential lip portion which elastically contacts an outer circumferential face of the pipe; and an outer circumferential lip portion which elastically contacts an inner circumferential face of the through hole; an inner seal area on an inner circumferential side where the inner circumferential lip portion is provided is located at a position so that the inner seal area does not overlap in a radial direction with an outer seal area of an outer circumferential side where the outer circumferential lip portion is provided.
BIDIRECTIONAL PRESSURE-INTENSIFIED SEAL
A pressure-energized bidirectional seal having a main body having a first end and a second end and a pair of legs extending from the second end of the main body, the pair of legs having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a hollow interior opening in a first direction. The bidirectional seal includes at least one rib extending from the outer surfaces and configured to sealingly engage a mating surface of a mating body the at least one rib forming a sealing zone opening in a second direction opposite of the first direction.
