API Ring Joint Gaskets manufacturer High Pressure
Metallic ring type joint gaskets are heavy duty, high-pressure gaskets largely used in offshore and onshore petrochemical applications. They are precision-engineered components designed to be used in conjunction with precision-machined flanges. All our Ring Joints are manufactured according to ASME B16.20 and API 6A.
The gasket material is selected on a number of grounds primarily; chemical compatibility with the media and the hardness of the flange. The gasket material ideally needs to be roughly 30 Brinell less than the flange material to ensure sufficient deformation of the gasket without damaging the flange facing.
Worn, pitted or corroded flange sealing surfaces can impede the sealing ability of RTJ gaskets. In such instances, a serrated octagonal RTJ gasket, covered with flexible graphite, can provide a temporary or emergency solution until the flange can be repaired or replaced.
The Ring Type Joint Gasket is initially developed for high pressure/ temperature applications found in the petroleum industry and is primarily used in the oilfield on drilling and completion equipment.
However, today this product range can also be found on valves and pipe work assemblies, along with some high integrity pressure vessel joints.

Functional description
Under axial compressive load, ring type joints plastically deform and flow into the irregularities of the flange groove. Since the contact area of the ring type joint is relatively small, a very high compressive load results between the sealing surface of the ring type joint and the flange groove. This surface pressure is further increased especially by the RX and BX RTJ variants. Both variants are able to seal extremely high internal pressures. RTJ gaskets are produced from metal, so they remain in their compressed form, even when the surface pressure is relaxed. The sealing function of the RTJ gasket is reinforced by the axial forces acting on the sealing surfaces.
