Abstract

A seal (5) for use in temperature and pressure extremes is disclosed. It features springs internal to the sealing members and the ability to seal against pressure differentials from opposed directions. A spacer ring (50) prevents contact from oppositely oriented seal components (42, 46, 48, 54, 58, 60) and at the same dine prevents spring and seal collapse under extreme loading conditions. The seal assembly is self-centering in a downhole seal bore and can be used on tools delivered on wireline, where the insertion forces available are at a minimum. The seal can withstand pressure differentials in excess of 13.500 PSI and temperatures above 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
