Product Data SheetApplication
Ring Joint gaskets are widely used between pipeline flanges, valves and pressure vessels in the Oil & Gas industry; Withstand high pressure situations up to 400 bar (pending on flange construction and rating); Style RX gaskets are suitable for ASME B16.5 flanges up to 2500 lbs. API 6A type 6B flanges can withstand a pressure up to 5000 psi.
Chemical Compatiblity
Corrosion and chemical resistance are depending on the selected RTJ gasket material. For pressure and temperature range we refer to Technical Specifications, as per table 1.
Delivery Options
RX shaped RTJ gaskets are available in ring numbers RX20 up to RX215. Customer specific gaskets can be manufactured upon request. Other materials are also available, please refer to table
