Metallic Ring

Type Joint
Gaskets (RTJ)
 RTJ (Ring Type Joints)

• Metallic ring type joint gaskets are heavy duty, high-pressure gaskets largely used in offshore and
onshore petrochemical applications. They are precision-engineered components designed to be
used in conjunction with precision-machined flanges. All our Ring Joints are manufactured
according to ASME B16.20 and API 6A.
• The gasket material is selected on a number of grounds primarily; chemical compatibility with the
media and the hardness of the flange. The gasket material ideally needs to be roughly 30 Brinell
less than the flange material to ensure sufficient deformation of the gasket without damaging the
flange facing.
• Worn, pitted or corroded flange sealing surfaces can impede the sealing ability of RTJ gaskets. In
such instances, a serrated octagonal RTJ gasket, covered with flexible graphite or a Maxiflex CR-
RJ, can provide a temporary or emergency solution until the flange can be repaired or replaced.
• The sealing surfaces on the ring joint grooves must be smoothly finished to 63 Microinches and be
free of objectionable ridges, tool or chatter marks.

A number of ring joint styles are available designed for specific flange types, these are:
