Ring Gaskets
Ring gaskets are essential components used to maintain safer operations in the oilfield and petrochemical industries. Systems in these industries run under high pressure and temperature. Ring gaskets provide a tight and leak-proof seal in these systems. These are made from strong metals and provide secure sealing even under heavy use or harsh settings. Businesses operating in oil and gas, power generation, and petrochemical sectors must invest in these sealing solutions.
National Oil Groups offers top-quality ring gaskets designed to deliver superior safety and performance. Our products meet the required safety standards and perform well in harsh industrial conditions. With our products, you can ensure your workers’ and equipment’s safety across complex applications.
Overview of Our Ring Gaskets
Our ring gaskets are metallic sealing components made with high accuracy. These are also known as RTJ or ring-type joints and are used to prevent leaks between two connected surfaces, usually flanges. These metallic rings fit in a groove on the flange. Our ring gaskets are specially designed to handle high pressure and temperature. This makes them perfect to use for applications that are carried out under harsh conditions.
Our gasket fits into a matching groove between two flanges. When the flanges are bolted together, the gasket is tightly pressed. The pressure created turns the softer gasket into a strong and leak-proof metal-to-metal seal. The gasket fills the small gaps in the flange and ensures safer operations in different industries, like oil refining and drilling.
Types of Ring Gaskets We Offer
We offer various types of ring gaskets with specific designs and pressure ratings. We make sure our clients’ requirements are always satisfied. Our product range includes gaskets made from different materials, like stainless steel, soft iron, or other alloys.
1. R-Type (Oval or Octagonal)
We offer both oval and octagonal R-type gaskets. Modern businesses usually prefer octagonal gaskets, as they have higher sealing ability than oval type. The octagonal type with efficient design is usually used for applications with pressures up to 10,000 psi. The older-style oval gaskets can only be used for standard round and flat-bottom grooves.
2. BX-Type
We offer BX-type ring gaskets that are designed to meet API 6A standards. These feature a pressure passage hole. This hole helps in equalizing the pressure on both sides of the seal. These are used for high-pressure systems. Moreover, they can’t be changed with other types, as they are only used in API 6BX flanges.
3. RX-Type
This is an advanced version of the R-type gasket. These have a self-sealing ability and use a pressure-energized effect. When the system is pressurized, its design increases the sealing force. This makes these gaskets a better option to use under high or changing pressure conditions. We offer RX-type gaskets designed to meet API 6A and ASME B16.20 standards.
4. Customized Ring Gaskets
We also offer ring gaskets that are designed based on clients’ special requirements. We make sure our products meet the required safety standards. Moreover, the materials used to make gaskets are selected based on pressure, temperature, and other conditions. We also offer spiral-wound and metal-jacketed gaskets.
Key Features of Our Ring Gaskets
With National Oil Groups, you can secure reliable mechanical seal solutions that perfectly fit your system and application needs. When compressed, our gaskets slightly change in shape to fit into the harder flange material to create a leak-proof connection. Here are the main features that make our gaskets trusted solutions for tough conditions:
- High Sealing Efficiency
- The metal-to-seal becomes tighter when pressure increases. Our gaskets are designed to perform reliably under extreme pressure and temperature. Moreover, they are also resistant to blowouts.
- Corrosion & Heat Resistance
- We offer RTJ gaskets made from several corrosion-resistant metals, like soft iron, Inconel, stainless steel, and others. They don’t degrade when they come in contact with harsh chemicals. This makes them a perfect choice for businesses operating in tough conditions.
- Precision-Machined
- Our gaskets are accurately manufactured to ensure they fit tightly into the grooves of flanges. The exact manufacturing ensures a stable and reliable seal.
- Long Service Life
- They are well-made and offer a long service life. You can reuse them, as they don’t lose performance or reliability even after repeated use. Our gaskets provide the required performance even with minimal maintenance.
- Compliance With Industry Standards
- Our ring joint gaskets are designed to comply with required industry standards, like API 6A. They offer high performance and ensure safer operations across diverse industries.
- Safety & Reliability
- Our gaskets provide a leak-proof connection and eliminate the risks of fires, explosions, and other issues. By preventing these risks, these gaskets can help you improve productivity and reduce downtime issues.
Applications of Our Ring Gaskets
Unlike conventional gaskets, our ring gaskets can easily withstand extreme conditions. They create a strong seal by slightly deforming. The seal provided by them is resistant to vibration and corrosion. You don’t need to worry about your workers and equipment safety, as they withstand pressure and temperature fluctuations for long periods.
- Oil & Gas Pipelines: They are used in high-pressure pipelines to contain toxic and valuable hydrocarbons. They prevent spills and maintain a tight seal, so they prevent blowout failures. They easily resist temperature changes in the transported fluids.
- Petrochemical Refineries: They are used in refineries to safely contain highly corrosive and volatile chemicals under high temperatures and pressures. These are installed in flange connections on heat exchangers and compressors to maintain a reliable seal under thermal and pressure stress.
- Power Generation Units: In power plants, our RTJ gaskets are used to provide strong sealing in high-pressure steam and turbine systems. They are used in boilers, as they offer a stable seal even under extreme heat and rapid thermal cycling. They can be used for high-pressure vessels that safely contain superheated fluids.
