RTJ gaskets
Ring type joints
-
The metallic RTJ is used in the Petroleum Industry when high-pressure applications require a high-integrity seal
STYLE R-OVAL
+ Today this product range can also be found on valves and pipework assemblies, along with some high integrity pressure vessel joints.
+ Available in both oval and octagonal configurations, both types are interchangeable on the modern octagonal type grooved flanges.
STYLE RX
+ The RX is designed to fit the same groove design as a standard Style R, making the joints interchangeable, however consideration should be given to
the difference in finished make up distance.
+ The geometry of this modified design induces a pressure energising effect when the assembly is pressurised, improving the efficiency of the seal..
STYLE BX
+ The Style BX are designed for use on API 6BX flanges on pressure systems rated up to 20,000 psi.
+ When correctly fitted, the style BX gasket allows virtual face to face contact of the flange faces.
+ All BX gaskets incorporate a pressure balance hole to ensure equalization of pressure which may be generated in the grooves. Designs are also available for subsea applications.
SPECIAL DESIGNS
