Abstract
A union is used to join mating high pressure flow line components. The union comprises an abutment, an annular gland, a seal assembly, and a plurality of threaded connectors. The abutment is between bearing surfaces on the mating components. The gland is formed by alignment of rabbets on the mating components and extends axially across and radially inward of the bearing surface. The seal assembly is carried in the gland and comprises first and second elastomeric seals on each side of a metal backup ring. The threaded connectors extend through holes in the mating components and apply axial load to the abutment to form the union.
