Contain a complete metal profile. Suitable for high temperature/ pressure applications.
Metallic ring joint gaskets are heavy duty, high-pressure/temperature gaskets typically used in the petrochemical and the Oil & Gas industry. They are precision-machined to dimensions listed in ASME B 16.20, API Spec. 6A or to special customer specific dimensions.
Material grades used are based on application such as media, temperature and service conditions.
-
Type R, oval
Standard Ring Joint Gasket oval section, for flange with standard Ring Joint grooves.
-
Type R Octagonal
Standard Ring Joint Gasket octagonal section, for flanges with standard Ring Joint grooves.
-
Type RX
Ring Joint Gaskets for pressure up to pprox.. 700 bar. With this type the outer sealing surface makes the first contact with the flanges. A higher system pressure produces a higher seating stress. Ring Joint Gaskets for RX type are interchangeable with the standard R type.
-
Type BX
Ring Joint Gaskets for very high pressures (upto pprox.. 1500 bar).
BX gaskets are self-energized by the internal system pressure which increases the gasket seating stress on the flange contact surface. This Ring Joint is only suited for API-type BX flanges and grooves.
