High Light: Brass oval ring joint gasket, R100 rtj gasket types, Brass rtj gasket types
Ring joint gasket is machined from solid metal in a variety of shapes according to API 6A & ASME B16.20 standards,it’s designed for high pressure ,high temperature or highly corrosive applications by selecting the most suitable material and shape. It is designed to with stand exceptionally high assembly loads over a small area, thus producing high seating stresses.Ring type Joint Gaskets are designed to seal by “initial line contact” or wedging action between the mating flange and the gasket. By applying pressure on the seal interface through bolt force, the softer metal of the gasket flows into the imperfections of the harder flange material, creating a very tight and efficient seal.
As a result of metal to metal sealing media they are made to be free of indentations, tool marks etc and have a surface finish of maximum,
· R, RX – 63 microinches Ra (1.6 micrometer Ra).
Thus Gasket supplies ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) with the hardness numbers as follows:
| GASKET MATERIALS | BRINELL HARDNESS NUMBER (max) | ROCKWELL HARDNESS NUMBER (max) | IDENTIFICATION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft iron | 90 | 56 | D |
| Low carbon steel | 120 | 68 | S |
| 4-6% Chrome 1/2% molybdenum | 130 | 72 | F5 |
| 304 Stainless Steel | 160 | 83 | S304 |
| 316 Stainless Steel | 160 | 83 | S316 |
| 347 Stainless Steel | 160 | 83 | S347 |
