Ring Type Joints

Ring Type Joints (RTJs) are specialised gaskets, designed to be used with flanges that have grooves in them. 

They are capable of creating an extremely strong and reliable corrosion resistant joint that will withstand the pressure of up to 1500 Bars and temperatures up to 1000°C.

Ring Type Joints are widely used by the Oil, Gas, Petrochemical and Offshore Industries, on valves and pipework assemblies in refineries, and in other applications subject to high pressures and temperatures. 

Provincial Rubber’s precision machined Ring Type joints are designed to concentrate the bolt load over a small area, thus producing high seating stresses. As the ring type material should always be softer than the mating flanges, the high seating stress causes ‘plastic-flow’ of the ring joint in the flange faces, creating the seal.

There are different shapes and models of Ring Type Joints available, including oval and octagonal. Choosing the right ring type joint depends on a number of factors based on the application, the flange it needs to fit into, and the type of metal to create a solid seal for the job in hand.

We have ring type joint gaskets available in soft iron, low carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and other materials you may require. We have basic Style R ring type joints as well as Style RX, and Style BX.
