Durlon® Style BX gaskets have a pitch diameter slightly larger than the groove pitch diameter. This allows for initial contact to be made on the outside of the ring, pre-loading the gasket which creates a pressure energized seal.
All Durlon® Style BX gaskets incorporate a pressure passage to enable trapped pressure to balance itself in the joint.
Style BX ring joint gaskets can only be used with API BX flanges and are not interchangeable with style RX.
Durlon® RTJ Characteristics
All gaskets are completely identified with low-stress permanent markings indicating style, ring number, material, and applicable standard
All gaskets fully comply wit the ASME B16.20 standard and the API spec 6A (where applicable)
All materials are fully traceable and documentation can be supplied upon request
Material hardness is carefully controlled which ensures a good seal without damaging the surfaces of the flanges
RTJ gaskets can withstand aggresive chemicals and temperatures up to 1,000°C with properly selected metal
All gaskets have a thin protective coating to eliminate oxidation effects due to atmospheric contact
