REVIEW)
The working of ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) can be explained by the axial compressive load causing them to deform and flow to irregularities in the flange grooves that it seals. As load bearing area of ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) are small high surface stresses are produced between the sealing face and the groove
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
As a result of Metal to Metal sealing media they are made to be free of indentations, tool marks etc and have a surface finish of maximum, Ring Type Joint Gasket (RTJ Gasket)
R, RX – 63 microinches Ra (1.6 micrometer Ra).
BX – 32 microinches Ra (0.8 micrometer Ra).
The working of ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) can be explained by the axial compressive load causing them to deform and flow to irregularities in the flange grooves that it seals. As load bearing area of ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) are small high surface stresses are produced between the sealing face and the groove, making it poor in recovery characteristics and unfit for reuse.
Type - R, RX, BX ring joint gaskets (RTJ Gasket) in API 6A, ASME B16.20 gasket standards for API 6B, ASME B16.5 and API 6BX flanges respectively.
