What is the inspection method of ring joint gaskets
dimensions?
These components get employed in industries that operate under high

pressure and temperature. The inspection method for ring joint
gaskets ensures that the gasket gets installed correctly. The conveying
flanges move down a specified path along the inspection station. This
station can detect the proper installation for all rtj gaskets types, offering
protection from system failure. Moreover, any improper positioning gets
rectified via lateral displacement to ensure precise ring joint dimensions.
Flange-based applications must check for defects in gasket installation.

The inspection method lets you do it without complicated electrical and
mechanical tools. It also allows you to select the correct rtj gasket
dimensions for your application by assessing the vital metrics of the gasket.
They include the inside and outside diameters, thickness, and dimensions
of the ring.
How can you measure rtj ring size?
These gaskets get manufactured in different styles. For instance, the R type
uses oval and octagonal sections and flanges with trapezoid-shaped
grooves. Types RX and BX have bevelled edges and are suitable for higher
pressures.
You can find the appropriate component with an rtj gasket size chart pdf.
These tables use the inside and outside diameters, the thickness, and the
dimensions of the centring ring.
The sizes are standard based on these metrics, and you can refer to an rtj
ring size chart for selection. You can also use permitted variations based on
the specification.

While assessing the size, it is crucial that the ring joint gasket
material matches that of the flange. Note that it should have lower
hardness so that the gasket fits within the groove. It will ensure that the
mating flanges securely bolt together and don't get deformed upon
tightening.
How do you calculate rtj gasket torque chart?
A torque chart helps you understand the torque or twisting force applied
while tightening the nut manually or with a wrench. The resulting axial
force stretches the bolt and raises the load on the rtj ring type joint. It gets
calculated based on the nominal bolt diameter (d), a nut factor (k) to
account for friction, and the bolt pre-load (f).
Torque = (k x d x f)/1000
You may have to use hydraulic tensioning in the ring type joint gasket for
uniformity – especially if the diameter is too high. But generally, the bolt
gets tightened three times at 30%, 70%, and 100% of the torque.
Be wary that the actual results may vary slightly from the rtj ring gasket
size chart based on actual conditions. For instance, you may calibrate the
equipment differently, or the quality of the nut and flange may not be
perfect. The bolting process introduces some inevitable variation in the
components.
RTJ Gasket thickness available at 0.175" ( 4.5mm)
What is the difference between gasket ring type joint style R vs

style BX?
These two are the most common styles of gaskets you will find
9
in petrochemical, oil and gas industries, and heat exchangers. The BX-
type gasket ring type joint relies on a metal-to-metal seal and adheres to
API 6A standards. They work perfectly in high-pressure environments up to
20,000 psi, the efficiency improving with the stress. BX rtj ring types also
have a relief hole on the faces to ensure equal pressure.
In contrast, the R style uses oval or octagonal cross-sections and conforms

to API 6A and ASME B16.20 standards. The rtj ring dimensions vary across
the styles. The R type can withstand pressures up to 5000 psi or more.
These components get preferred in valve covers. An rtj gasket type d
delivers high performance and robustness for demanding applications.
What is the installation procedure of metallic ring joint gasket?
A ring-type joint gasket gets installed in the ring groove (trapezoidal) on

the flange akin to a semi-self-tightening mechanism. While installing
the ring type gasket, you will tighten the bolt, producing axial compression.
The gasket gets attached to grooves and creates a strong seal. Eventually,
the rtj insulation gasket expands radially due to the medium pressure. It
makes the components fit more tightly into the groove.
It is vital to note that excessive pressure will deform the flange and the bolt.
You will experience poor sealing. Installing a metallic ring joint gasket with
caution is imperative for the best performance. The optimal pressure
applied during installation ensures overall system performance and creates
a long-lasting seal.
