Ring Joint Flanges Manufacturer in India

About Ring Joint Flanges

Ring Joint Flanges (RTJ) are designed for use in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, typically exceeding 800°F (427°C) and/or Class 600 pressure ratings. These flanges feature grooves cut into their faces to accommodate steel ring gaskets, which are compressed between the flanges when tightened. The compression of the gasket into the grooves creates a metal-to-metal seal, ensuring a reliable and durable connection.

While some Ring Joint Flanges may include a raised face with a ring groove machined into it, the raised face does not contribute to the sealing mechanism. In RTJ applications, the primary sealing action is achieved through the contact of the compressed gasket with the flange grooves, rather than the raised faces of the flanges. This ensures that the gasket is not further deformed or crushed, maintaining the integrity of the seal and preventing leakage due to external factors like vibration and bolt tension.

About Ring Type Joint Gaskets

Ring Type Joint (RTJ) gaskets are metallic sealing rings engineered for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. These gaskets are used in conjunction with specially designed flanges to provide reliable, leak-proof seals when installed properly.

RTJ gaskets seal by creating “initial line contact” or a wedging action between the gasket and the flange. As bolts are tightened, pressure is applied to the seal interface, causing the “softer” metal of the gasket to flow into the finer structure of the harder flange materials, thereby forming a tight, efficient seal.

The Style R ring is the most commonly used RTJ gasket, manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.20 for use with ASME B16.5 flanges, ranging from class 150 to class 2500. The Style R ring comes in octagonal and oval configurations, with the oval offering a slightly lower sealing efficiency than the octagonal ring. The oval cross-section is often used in older round bottom grooves, while newer flat bottom grooves can accept either oval or octagonal cross-sections.

RTJ gaskets are designed to handle high-pressure applications, with Style R capable of sealing pressures up to 6,250 psi, and RX type and BX type gaskets designed for even higher pressures. RX gaskets can seal pressures up to 700 bar, while BX gaskets are ideal for extreme pressures up to 1500 bar and are specifically suited for API BX-type flanges.

To ensure proper sealing, the sealing surfaces of RTJ flanges and grooves must be finely finished to 63 microinches and free of imperfections. The gasket’s hardness is lower than that of the flanges to facilitate the initial line contact and ensure a reliable seal.
