Abstract: A press-in-place seal for an interface between adjacent components, with the seal including a cylindrical structure arranged along a longitudinal axis and characterized by a J-shape in a cross-sectional view. The seal is arranged inside a first component and compressed by a second component when the PIP seal is installed within the interface. The J-shape includes a first stem section orthogonal to and extending toward the longitudinal axis for being compressed by the second component when the seal is installed within the interface. The J-shape also includes a second stem section longer than the first stem section, orthogonal to and extending toward the longitudinal axis, for stabilizing the structure when the seal is installed. The J-shape further includes a base third section arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis and connecting the first stem section to the second stem section, thereby defining a concavity between the first and second sections.
