Abstract

The invention relates to pipe swivel joints of the kind suitable for use in the oil industry in situations where a sub-sea well is connected to a surface vessel by complex pipe lines, twisting of which must not occur when the vessel ''weather-vanes''. An example of a joint comprising inner (2, 4) and outer (1, 3) toroidal members with a fluid pasage (13) defined by confronting faces of the members, dynamic (17, 18) and silt (15, 16) seals being provided, wherein the confronting faces include complementarily contoured stepped annular regions which together define a gap therebetween, each step of each annular region comprising an annular land (L) disposed in a radial plane of the joint unit. The land (L) of adjacent steps are of differing diameters. In a particularly useful arrangement, the inner and outer members each comprise a first unit portion (1; 2) providing the surface defining the passage and two flanking portions (3; 4) providing the stepped regions.
