Ring Joint Gasket

Ring Joint Gaskets

KAXITE Ring Joint Gaskets fully comply with the ASME B16.20 standard and the API spec 6A requirements (where applicable).

Characteristics:

•  All gaskets are completely identified with low-stress permanent markings indicating style, ring number, material and applicable standard                  
• All gaskets fully comply with the ASME B16.20 standard and the API spec 6A (where applicable)
• All materials are fully traceable and documentation can be supplied upon request
• Material hardness is carefully controlled which ensures a good seal without damaging the surfaces of the flanges
• RTJ gaskets can withstand aggressive chemicals and temperatures up to 1,000°C (1,832°F) with properly selected metal
• All gaskets have a thin protective coating to eliminate oxidation effects due to atmospheric contact

STYLE R
Meeting ASME B16.20 specifications, KAXITE R style gaskets are available in both oval and octagonal configurations and are interchangeable on modern flange grooves.

STYLE RX
This is a pressure-energized adaptation of the standard R gasket. Interchangeable with the R style gasket, the RX gasket provides a more effective seal option for higher system pressures.

STYLE BX
These pressure-energized ring joint gaskets are designed for system pressures up to 20,000 psi. They allow virtual face-to-face contact of the flanges to ensure that the gasket is fully trapped on both the inner and outer diameters.
