Description:
Ring Joint Gaskets (RTJ) are metallic sealing rings that fit into ring grooves and are ideal for high pressure and high temperature applications. They are commonly utilized in valves and pipes in the petrochemical and oil sectors. The choice of material may be determined to suit higher temperatures and aggressive media. They comply with ASME B16.20 standards.
To guarantee appropriate deformation of the gasket without harming the flange face, the RTJ gasket material is chosen based on the chemical compatibility with the media and the flange’s hardness.
