Loss of seal preventable. Rotation of components joint reversed from that caused by normal outward bulge at joint, or else eliminated. Elimination or reversal of rotation by suitable amount prevents opening of gap on O-ring, thus preserving seal. Applicable to segmented terrestrial pressure vessels.
