Ring Type Joints

Ring Type Joint gaskets are precision machined metallic gaskets generally used in high pressure applications such as the Oil, Gas, Petrochemical and Offshore industries.

This type of gasket is designed to be used in RTJ groove flanges and are produced under license to dimensions as per API-6A and ASME B16.20.

Technical Details:

  • Ring Type Joints concentrate the bolt load over a small area producing high sealing stresses.
  • As the Ring Type Joint Material should always be softer than the mating flanges, the high seating stress causes ”plasticflow” of the ring joint in the flange faces creating the seal.
  • RTJ Gaskets can be produced from a variety of material’s to suit the process application and flange grade.
  • Used on high pressure lines up to 20,000 PSI, RTJ’s are an extremely reliable and robust sealing mechanism.
  • BX, SBX & RX type available for Sub Sea application.
  • IX Seal Rings used in Norsok Compact flange assemblies.
  • Standard R type available R11 (1/2”) to R105 (36”) in Oval or Octagonal Section.
