Abstract
High-pressure static seals and pressure vessels with static seals for containing fluid at high pressures are shown and described. Embodiments of the invention allow a plug to be easily, manually inserted into and removed from the pressure vessel. A metallic ring in the seal is configured to expand under pressure to prevent an O-ring in the seal from being extruded into a gap between the plug and the vessel wall, but not to expand so much as to cause galling or similar damage when the seal moves with respect to the wall under elevated pressure.
