Abstract:
1. A sealing configuration configured for sealingly coupling a first fluid flow path of a first device to a second fluid flow path of a second device, the sealing configuration comprising: a support body comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, and a through hole between the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the through hole couples the first fluid flow path to the second fluid flow path when the sealing configuration is arranged between the first device and the second device, and at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface comprises a structure configured for increasing a surface pressure when coupling the first device to the second device, the structure comprising one or more indentations; and a metal coating configured for increasing sealing, the metal coating disposed between one or more indentations on at least one raised contact surface of at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface on a same side of the support body as the structure, wherein the metal coating comprises a material softer than a material of the support body.
