Ring Joint Gaskets for Oil & Gas Use by pashamr1 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ring joint gaskets are metallic sealing rings used for high pressure and high temperature applications in flanges. They commonly use in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. There are three main types of ring gaskets defined by standards - Type R is not pressure energized while Types RX and BX are pressure energized, with Type BX also allowing face-to-face flange contact. API and equipment manufacturers specify ring groove dimensions and profiles to properly seat the different ring gasket designs.
