Abstract

A seal is disclosed having a pair of side walls, a base extending between the side walls, a first concave surface extending inwardly from one of the side walls, a second concave surface extending inwardly from the other side wall, and a convex surface extending between the first concave and second concave surface to form a rounded peak having an apex. The seal has a seal width defined between the seal side walls, and a seal height defined between the apex of the rounded peak and the base. The width is at least twice the height of the seal. The seal is located in a channel recess of a first component opposite a second component to seal between the first component and the second component, the channel recess having a floor and a height defined between the floor and a surface of the first component in which the channel recess is formed.
