PAC-RTJ
RING TYPE JOINT GASKET

PAC-RTJ excels in high-pressure applications such as oil and gas exploration and production. RTJs are also used on valves and pipework assemblies in refineries and other process industries. Available in both oval and octagonal profiles, standard style R ring type joints are manufactured to meet both API 6A and ASME B16.20 sizes and ratings. Also available are Style RX ring type joints which energizes on assembly. This type is designed to fit the same groove as a style R therefore making them interchangeable. For very high pressures, often found in sub-sea wellhead and Christmas tree systems, the style BX is used. Subsea versions of all styles are available with pressure balance holes. We also design and manufacture special RTJ and bespoke solid metal gaskets for topside and subsea blow-out preventers.

  • Both styles are interchangeable on the modern flat bottom groove, however only the oval style can be used in the old type round bottom groove.
  • Style RX ring type joints are designed to seal pressure up to 6,250 psi in accordance with ASME B16.5 pressure ratings and up to 5,000 psi in accordance with API 6A pressure ratings.
  • We can also offer Style SRX Octagonal RTJ’s which have two pressure passage holes making the gasket suitable for subsea installation.
