Title: High pressure tubular swivel joint

Abstract

A swivel joint and connection for abutting high pressure hydraulic manifolding are described. The joint consists of 2 flanged nonrotating swivel bodies, with one of the nonrotating swivel bodies having a rotating swivel body journaled in it. A flanged tubular sleeve is secured between the adjacent end faces of the 2 nonrotating swivel bodies, with the opposite ends of the tubular sleeve received respectively in counterbores formed in one non-rotating swivel body and in the rotating swivel body, respectively. A static annular seal is disposed between the first end of the tubular sleeve and the counterbore in the nonrotating swivel body, and a dynamic annular seal is disposed between the end face of the opposite end of the tubular sleeve and the counterbore in the rotating swivel body. Composite elastomeric and metallic annular dynamic seals also are described. (19 claims)
