A SELF-ADJUSTING SEAL ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A self-adjusting seal assembly is formed to fit around a member extending from a structure which is thermally insulated with insulation panels but which leaves a gap around the in- sulated member. The self-adjusting seal assembly covers this gap and automatically compensates for any gap variation due to thermal expansion and contraction. The assembly has a first spring biased seal member located on the insulation panel to partially abut against the member and partially seal the gap around the member. A second seal member is spring biased to abut against the first seal member to thereby completely en- close the member and the gap around the member. As the struc- ture member expands or contracts the spring loaded seal mem- bers move to retain their position abutting the member and maintain the integrity of the gap seal.
