RTJ (Ring Type Joint) Gaskets are precision-machined metallic sealing rings, specifically designed for use in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, commonly found in the oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery, and power generation industries. They seal by metal-to-metal contact between the gasket and flanges, making them ideal for critical, leak-proof connections.
Designed for pressures up to 20,000 psi
Excellent for elevated temperatures (up to 1000°C)
High-integrity metal-to-metal sealing
Reusable in some applications (depending on condition)
Compatible with RTJ flanges (as per ASME/ANSI B16.5/B16.47)
Machined for tight tolerance and smooth finish
R Type: Octagonal & oval-shaped standard design – fits most RTJ flanges
RX Type: Pressure-activated sealing – interchangeable with R type but gives better sealing under high pressure
BX Type: Specially for API 6A flanges – used in extreme pressure services (up to 20,000 psi)
Soft Iron: -40°C to 500°C - General applications, low cost
Carbon Steel: -40°C to 540°C - Moderate pressure & temp
SS 304/316/316L: Up to 650°C - Corrosion-resistant environments
Inconel 625/718: Up to 980°C - High temperature & aggressive media
Hastelloy, Monel: Up to 700°C - Specialty chemical and marine service
Coatings like zinc, silver, or PTFE available for enhanced sealing and flange protection.

Q: Can RTJ gaskets be reused?
A: Not recommended. Some solid metal gaskets may be reused in non-critical applications if not deformed, but always consult specifications.
Q: What’s the difference between R, RX, and BX types?
A: R is standard, RX offers better sealing with pressure assistance, BX is for ultra-high-pressure flanges (API 6A).
Q: Can RTJ gaskets be used with raised face flanges?
A: No. They are specifically designed for RTJ flanges only.
