Ring Type Joints (RTJ)
Ring Type Joints (RTJ)
An RTJ (Ring Type Joint) is a metal ring gasket for flanges with a matching groove. The ring profile and size must correspond to the connection.
- Description
- Parameters
Matching the ring to the flange
An RTJ connection seals through contact between the metal ring and the groove surfaces. The profile, dimensional accuracy, material and condition of the mating surfaces are therefore critical.
RTJ designs include R, RX and BX. These types are not freely interchangeable: the ring must be selected according to the flange documentation. System pressure alone does not determine the correct seal.

Information for an accurate inquiry
Ring designation
Specify the ring type and number from the specification, the flange designation and the applicable standard. A photograph of the marking helps match the inquiry to the documentation.
Material and service conditions
Provide the material grade, hardness requirements, operating medium and service conditions if defined by the project. Include a drawing for non-standard geometry.
