Ring type joint gasket (RTJ Gasket) is a high integrity
sealing gasket, high temperature and high pressure
gasket for applications in petroleum industry, oilfield
drilling, pressure vessels joints, pipes and valves etc
from Goodrich Gasket Pvt. Ltd.
Goodrich Gasket manufactures ring joint gaskets (RTJ
Gasket) according to API 6A and ASME B16.20 for numerous
industrial applications based on the customer required
specifications with corrosive protection using
electroplated zinc or alternate material coating of up
to 0.0003” thickness.
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,
- 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.
Goodrich Gasket manufactures 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.
