Type Joints are primarily used by the oil, gas,
petrochemical and offshore industries, they are
also commonly used on valve, pipe work assemblies
and with some integrity vessel joints. Ring type
are use to seal flanged connections subject to high
pressures and temperatures. These precision made
solid metal gaskets form a metal to metal seal with
the flanges. The gasket cross-sections are designed
to concentrate the bolt load over a small area to
produce a high seating stress. The gasket metal
should always be softer than the mating flanges.
The high seating stress causes 'plastic-flow' of
the gasket into the flange faces to create seal.
The 'RX' and 'BX' gaskets are designed to be pressure
activated by the sealed media which improves the
efficency of the seal as the internal pressure of
the system increases. |
