The Oval RTJ Gasket is a precision-engineered metallic sealing element designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Manufactured according to API 6A and ASME B16.20 standards, this gasket features an oval cross-section that ensures a tight, leak-proof seal when compressed between ring-type joint flanges.
Design & Shape: The oval profile provides effective sealing by concentrating the bolt load on a smaller area, creating high seating stress and ensuring reliable performance.
Materials: Available in a wide range of materials such as soft iron, low carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316, 321, 347), and special alloys (Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy) to suit varying service conditions.
Applications: Commonly used in the oil & gas, petrochemical, refinery, and power generation industries, especially in systems handling high-pressure steam, hydrocarbons, and corrosive media.
Pressure Ratings: Suitable for pressures up to 20,000 psi, depending on material and flange design.
Advantages:
Provides strong and durable metal-to-metal sealing.
Maintains seal integrity under thermal cycling and pressure fluctuations.
Compatible with standard RTJ flange grooves (R-type).
