Claim:
A method for forming a static seal in a fluid pump housing, the method comprising: seating a support structure in a first housing section such that a first sealing element is interposed between a first sealing surface of the support structure and a first inside surface of the first housing section, the support structure circumscribing a pump chamber and the first sealing element circumscribing a first opening between an interior space of the support structure and a first interior of the first housing section; and seating a second housing section on the support structure such that a second sealing element is interposed between a second sealing surface of the support structure and a second inside surface of the second housing section, the second sealing surface located on a side of the support structure opposite to the first sealing surface and circumscribing a second opening between the interior space and a second interior of the second housing section, wherein the support structure, the first sealing element, the second sealing element, the first housing section, and the second housing section cooperatively fluidly seal the pump chamber from an environment external to the fluid pump housing.
