A hammer union seal assembly, hammer union seal and method of construction thereof is provided. The method of constructing the hammer union seal includes forming an annular rubber ring having a cylindrical inner surface and a cylindrical outer surface, with the cylindrical outer surface extending between opposite corner edges. The method further includes forming an annular steel ring. Then, recessing and bonding the annular steel ring in one of the corner edges with an outer surface of the steel ring remaining exposed.

1. A method of constructing a hammer union seal, comprising: forming an annular elastomeric body having a cylindrical inner surface and a cylindrical outer surface, the cylindrical outer surface extending between opposite faces with the cylindrical outer surface transitioning to one of the opposite faces at a corner edge and transitioning to the other of the opposite faces via an annular lip that extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface;forming an annular steel ring from a single loop of wire and welding opposite ends of the wire to one another; andrecessing and bonding the annular steel ring in the corner edge with an outer surface of the steel ring remaining exposed. 2. The method of claim 1 further including molding the annular elastomeric body to the annular steel ring. 3. A hammer union seal, comprising: an annular elastomeric body having a cylindrical inner surface and a cylindrical outer surface, the cylindrical outer surface extending between opposite faces with said cylindrical outer surface transitioning to one of said opposite faces at a corner edge; andan annular steel ring having opposite ends joined together by a weld joint, said steel ring being recessed and bonded in said corner edge and transitioning to the other of the opposite faces via an annular lip that extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface with an outer surface of said steel ring being exposed. 4. The hammer union seal of claim 3 wherein said steel ring is formed from a single loop of wire. 5. A hammer union assembly, comprising: an annular first member having a male end with an outer conical surface and a radially outwardly extending flange adjacent the male end;an annular second member part having a female end with an inner tapered surface configured for sealed engagement with said outer conical surface of said first member, said second member having an externally threaded portion adjacent said female end with an annular counterbore extending axially inwardly from said female end to provide a pocket;a nut having internal female threads configured for threaded engagement with said externally threaded portion of said second member having a radially inwardly extending flange configured to confront said radially outwardly extending flange of said first member; andan annular elastomeric seal disposed in said counterbore of said second member, said seal including an annular elastomeric body having a cylindrical inner surface and a cylindrical outer surface, said cylindrical outer surface extending between opposite faces with said cylindrical outer surface transitioning to one of said opposite faces at a corner edge and transitioning to the other of the opposite faces via an annular lip that extends radially outwardly from the cylindrical outer surface, with an annular steel ring formed from a single loop of wire having opposite ends welded to one another by a weld joint, said steel ring being recessed and bonded in said corner edge with an outer surface of said steel ring being exposed.
