Abstract
A seal assembly includes a tensionable annular member and a gap seal annular member that are axially juxtaposed and configured to be carried by one of a pair of coaxially movable components for sealingly engaging another one of the pair of components. The tensionable annular member includes first and second radial surfaces, an inner surface, and an outer contact surface. Rounded bottom grooves are formed across the first radial surface from the outer contact surface to the inner surface. In another embodiment, notches are formed across the inner surface from the first radial surface to the second radial surface.
