I'm ashamed to admit that I'm stumped by the abbreviation "Keilgl." in the context of pipe materials and seals/gaskets. The full phrase is:
"SB-Rohr K-GM mit integr. bzw. Keilgl. Dichtung DIN 1916/ DIN V 1201"
.... whereby "SB" is presumably Stahlbeton".
I imagine some sort of gasket with a V-shaped cross-section, but that's strictly a guess. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Comment: "Yes, Steffen, that's clearly what the author meant. It even vaguely rings a bell, whereby I always imagined that the term was exclusively associtated with rotating equipment (shaft seals). There appears to be no better (more descriptive) term for this form of sewer pipe gasket as well. Many thanks!"
