RTJ gaskets are designed to seal by “initial line contact” or wedging action between the mating flange and the gasket. It is essential to choose a softer metal of the gaskets while the flange’s material should be harder to make sure the ring type joints can give a very tight and efficient seal after applying pressure on the sealing interface through bolt force. Usually, the ring gaskets are used in oil, petroleum and chemical process fields. As precision machined, metallic sealing rings, ring joints are suitable for high pressure and high-temperature applications.

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.
Materials
RTJ gaskets are available as standard in soft metal and in 304, 316 and stainless steels. Versions in other materials on request.
Style R ring type joints are manufactured on oval (2962/R) and octagonal profiles (2961/R).
Both styles are interchangeable in the modern flat bottomed groove.
Octagonal profile joints are interchangeable on flat bottomes groove flanges which have a 23 degree angle groove wall
Advantages
- Metal-to-metal contact creates a reliable seal
- Suitable for extreme pressure and temperature requirements
- Certified quality (including surface hardness)

We specializes in ring joint gasket, including ring gasket in R, RX, BX, IX types, lens gasket, weld ring gasket and bonnet gasket(according to client’s drawing). The metal gasket designed for use in high pressure, high temperature application necessitated the need for a high integrity seal. Our products are widely used in flat gate valve, Christmas tree, pipeline fittings, flange, high pressure vessel, oil &gas industry, wellhead assembly, petrochemical industry and the like.
