Ring Type Joint Gaskets
Tolerances: (mm)
Standard Style R Ring Type Joints are manufactured in accordance with both API 6A size/ratings. Available in both oval and octagonal configurations, both types are interchangeable on the modern octagonal type grooved flanges. |
NOTE:Radius of the Ring shall be 8% to 12% of the Ring height 'H'. |
Tolerances: (mm)A* Width of Ring ......................... +0.20 D Hole Size ................................. ±0.50 H* Height of Ring ....................... +0.20,-0.00 OD (OD of Ring ) ……................ +0.00,-0.15 23° (Angle) ................................... ±0°15’ * One pressure passage hole required per ring on center line. *A plus tolerance of 0.20 mm for width 'A' and height 'H' is permitted, provided the variationin width or height does not exceed 0.10 mm throughout its entire circumference. |
Offshore Seals manufactures the BX type RTJ gaskets in accordance with API 6A and are suitable for use in high pressure API 6BX flanges. This type of gasket forms a metal to metal seal on assembling and the efficiency improves as internal pressure increases. All BX sizes have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure across sealing faces. The BX type Ring Joint Gaskets are available in sizes from BX150 to BX303. |
NOTE:The pressure passage hole illustrated in theRX Ring Cross section applies to Rings RX82 through RX91 only. Center line of hole shall belocated at mid point of dimension 'C' ( width of flat).

Offshore Seals manufactures various sizes of the RX type RTJ gasket in accordance to API 6A to suit API 6B and ASME / ANSI B16.5 flanges. The RX Style Ring Joint is a pressure energized version of the R octagonal gasket that fits the R type flat bottomed groove. This style has an increased height and utilizes the internal system pressure to energize and improve the seal as internal pressure increase. Some sizes in the RX Style Ring Joints have a pressure relief hole to equalize pressure both sides of the sealing faces. The RX type Ring Joint Gaskets are available in sizes from RX20 to RX215. |
