Abstract
A seal assembly is provided intended to locate sealing means (13, 14) between a housing (10, 11) and another member (15) which may be fixed or rotating. A housing for the sealing member is formed of two parts (10, 11) between which the sealing member is to be located. A first housing part (10) may be in two portions arranged to be fitted together. A second housing part (11) is located between the two portions of the first housing part (10) and a seal (13, 14) is located between the two housing parts. The assembly is secured together by welding the two portions (10A, 10B) of the first housing part.
