Ring Type Joints

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.
