Abstract: A sealing ring for sealing a space between two substantially cylindrical space surfaces (36, 44) axially introducable one into the other comprises two annular sealing portions (2, 4) concentrically connected with each other. The sealing portions have one sealing surface (14, 16) each adapted to engage one space surface (44, 36) each.
