A tubular joint comprising: a first tubular member and a second tubular member , the first tubular member having an end face configured to face a corresponding end face of the second tubular member ; a clamping device for clamping the tubular members to each other with the end face of the first tubular member in contact with the end face of the second tubular member ; and an annular sealing element to be received in an annular groove formed by a first annular recess in the end face of the first tubular member and an opposite second annular recess in the end face of the second tubular member , wherein the sealing element comprises an annular metallic body (41; 41') which has a first outer sealing surface designed to mate with a first tapered sealing surface provided in said first annular recess and a second outer sealing surface designed to mate with a second tapered sealing surface provided in said second annular recess upon clamping of the tubular members to each other, characterized in: that the sealing element comprises an annular first spring-energized seal member mounted to the metallic body (41; 41') and configured to be in sealing contact with a first radially extending sealing surface provided in said first annular recess radially inwardly of the first tapered sealing surface when the tubular members are clamped to each other; that the sealing element comprises an annular second spring-energized seal member mounted to the metallic body (41; 41') and configured to be in sealing contact with a second radially extending sealing surface provided in said second annular recess radially inwardly of the second tapered sealing surface when the tubular members are clamped to each other; and that the spring-energized seal members are configured to be prestressed upon clamping of the tubular members to each other. a first tubular member and a second tubular member , the first tubular member having an end face configured to face a corresponding end face of the second tubular member ; a clamping device for clamping the tubular members to each other with the end face of the first tubular member in contact with the end face of the second tubular member ; and an annular sealing element to be received in an annular groove formed by a first annular recess in the end face of the first tubular member and an opposite second annular recess in the end face of the second tubular member , wherein the sealing element comprises an annular metallic body (41; 41') which has a first outer sealing surface designed to mate with a first tapered sealing surface provided in said first annular recess and a second outer sealing surface designed to mate with a second tapered sealing surface provided in said second annular recess upon clamping of the tubular members to each other, characterized in: that the sealing element comprises an annular first spring-energized seal member mounted to the metallic body (41; 41') and configured to be in sealing contact with a first radially extending sealing surface provided in said first annular recess radially inwardly of the first tapered sealing surface when the tubular members are clamped to each other; that the sealing element comprises an annular second spring-energized seal member mounted to the metallic body (41; 41') and configured to be in sealing contact with a second radially extending sealing surface provided in said second annular recess radially inwardly of the second tapered sealing surface when the tubular members are clamped to each other; and that the spring-energized seal members are configured to be prestressed upon clamping of the tubular members to each other. <EOS>
