A pneumatic sealing system for a gas mask, which seals the mask to the face of the user by using a pump that employs air from inside the gas mask to variably inflate a mask seal during the breathing cycle. A double diaphragm pump, which has a driving diaphragm and a driven diaphragm, is connected to the inflatable mask seal via a hose duct. The double diaphragm pump is driven by the pressure difference inside the gas mask. During inhalation, the driving diaphragm fills with ambient air and the driven diaphragm fills with filtered air. During exhalation, the driving diaphragm and the driven diaphragm compress, releasing and trapping air in the mask seal.

A cup tool for use with a mandrel of a wellhead isolation tool has a substantially right-angled stepped shoulder over which an elastomeric sealing element is forced by elevated fluid pressures. A top end of the elastomeric sealing element is inhibited from extrusion past the stepped shoulder during the insertion of the mandrel, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the sealing element before the mandrel is fully inserted through the wellhead. Once the sealing element is exposed to elevated fluid pressures, the top end of the elastomeric sealing element is forced upwardly over the stepped shoulder, and extruded into an annulus between the mandrel and a well casing or production tubing to provide a high-pressure fluid seal.
