Provided is a seal that can ensure a satisfactory sealing property and can be easily separated from a sealing surface even in the case in which the seal is used for a long period of time under the conditions of a high temperature and a high pressure. The seal includes a seal body mounted in a seal groove that is formed in a first member and a second member is made to be in pressure contact with the first member to form a sealing part. The sealing part that comes into contact with the second member at the entire surface of the sealing part is formed along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the seal. A step portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the seal in such a manner that an area of a contact surface is smaller for the sealing part as the contact area is closer to the bottom side of the seal groove.

1. A seal is mounted in a seal groove formed in a first member and which provides a sealing property between the first member and a second member when the second member is made to be in pressure contact with the first member, wherein the seal groove in which the seal is mounted is a partial dovetail groove in which a width of a bottom face of the seal groove is larger than a width of an opening part of the seal groove,the partial dovetail groove having a wall surface on a diameter inward side that is a vertical surface, and a wall surface on a diameter outward side that is an inclined face,wherein the seal is formed in a generally L-shape in a cross section, and is composed of a seal material body that is mounted on the bottom face of the partial dovetail groove, and a lip part that is extended outward from the partial dovetail groove at a slant posture from the seal material body and that is provided along the wall surface of the diameter outward side of the partial dovetail groove,wherein an outer surface of the lip part that is projected from the partial dovetail groove has a sealing part, the sealing part being formed at an entire surface of the sealing part while being in pressure contact with the second member, when the seal is mounted in the partial dovetail groove and the second member is made to be in pressure contact with a first member,wherein a step portion is formed on the outer surface of the lip part in such a manner that a position of the step portion varies around the circumference of the lip part from a low position, located nearer to the seal material body, and a high position, located nearer to the leading end of the lip part, and wherein a thickness of the lip part at a position downward from the step portion is less than a thickness of the lip part at a position upward from the step portion, andwherein the step portion has a surface that is a curved wavelike line when viewed in a front view. 2. The seal as defined in claim 1, wherein the step portion is formed by bonding a separate member. 3. The seal as defined in claim 2, wherein the seal is formed in such a manner that a height of the seal is uneven in a circumferential direction. 4. The seal as defined in claim 1, wherein the seal is formed in such a manner that a height of the seal is uneven in a circumferential direction. 5. The seal as defined in claim 1, wherein the step portion comprises a vertical portion, which extends outward from the lip part, and a horizontal portion, which extends along the surface of the lip part from the vertical portion to a free end of the lip part. 6. The seal as defined in claim 5, wherein a distance between the vertical portion and the free end of the lip part varies in a cyclical manner along a circumference of the seal. 7. The seal as defined in claim 5, wherein a surface of the vertical portion of the step portion comprises a curved and undulating surface. 8. The seal as defined in claim 1, wherein a length of the sealing part, which is defined as a distance between the step portion and a free end of the lip part, varies in a cyclical manner along the circumference of the seal. 9. A seal is mounted in a seal groove formed in a first member and which provides a sealing property between the first member and a second member when the second member is made to be in pressure contact with the first member, wherein the seal groove in which the seal is mounted is a partial dovetail groove in which a width of a bottom face of the seal groove is larger than a width of an opening part of the seal groove,the partial dovetail groove having a wall surface on a diameter inward side that is a vertical surface, and a wall surface on a diameter outward side that is an inclined face,wherein the seal is formed in a generally L-shape in a cross section, and is composed of a body that is mounted on the bottom face of the partial dovetail groove, and a lip part that extends from the partial dovetail groove at a slant posture from the body,wherein the lip part comprises a free end that projects from the partial dovetail groove and wherein a sealing part is formed along an outer surface of the lip part downward from the free end thereof, the sealing part being in pressure contact with the second member, when the seal is mounted in the partial dovetail groove and the second member is made to be in pressure contact with the first member,wherein a step portion is formed on the lip part, the step portion comprising a vertical portion, which extends from the lip part, and a horizontal portion, which extends from the vertical portion to the free end of the lip part,wherein a distance between the vertical portion of the step portion and the free end of the lip part varies in a cyclical manner along a circumference of the seal, andwherein the vertical portion of the step portion comprises a curved and undulating surface. 10. The seal as defined in claim 9, wherein a length of the sealing part, which is defined as a distance between the step portion and the free end of the lip part, varies in a cyclical manner along the circumference of the seal.
