Abstract
A gland seal arrangement for effecting a fluid seal between two relatively movable parts wherein the loading applied to an annular sealing member in contact with such parts is derived from a coaxially arranged, sleeve-like thrust member sensitive to the pressure of the fluid being sealed so that with increasing fluid pressure the loading applied to the sealing member is correspondingly increased.
