Abstract
A split ring seal assembly with a slip joint including a split ring having first and second free ends and a connecting member in the shape of a ring segment having first and second ends. The split ring seal has a multiple convoluted cross section with two outer flanges. The connecting element has a U-shaped transverse cross section. The split ring seal and connecting element are designed such that the connecting element fits within the split ring seal. The first end of the connecting member is fixedly attached to the first end of the split ring seal. The second end of the connecting member is slidably received within the second end of the split ring seal. This enables the split ring assembly to expand and contract as it is exposed to varying temperatures and pressures. The connecting element is comprised of two connecting members having curved portions and integral overlapping portions which are slidable relative each other. The curved portions of each of the connecting members is attached to one of the outer flanges at the first end of the split ring.
