RTJ Ring Profile Selection Guide
Choose ring profile based on flange rating, groove type, and service — Oval seals by line contact; Octagonal seals on flat groove faces; BX/RX for pressure-energised API wellhead service.
| Profile | Groove Face | Pressure Class | Sealing Action | Preferred Service | Interchangeable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oval (R-series) | Trapezoidal / Oval groove | 150# – 2500# | Line contact on two rings | General HP/HT process | With Octagonal in same groove |
| Octagonal (R-series) | Trapezoidal groove only | 150# – 2500# | Flat face contact | Higher sealing efficiency than Oval | With Oval in trapezoidal groove |
| BX (API) | API 6A BX groove | 2000 – 20000 PSI | Pressure-energised self-sealing | Wellhead, Christmas tree, HP subsea | NOT interchangeable with R-series |
| RX (API) | API R trapezoidal groove | 2000 – 15000 PSI | Pressure-energised, R-compatible | Upgraded HP service on R-groove flanges | Replaces R-series in same groove |
| SRX (API) | API R trapezoidal groove | 5000 – 20000 PSI | Extreme pressure-energised | Subsea, ultra-HP wellhead | NOT interchangeable with R |

Gasket Selection Guide
Selection depends on flange face type, pressure class, temperature, fluid medium, and bolting available. Use this table as a starting point — final selection must confirm with design code and fluid compatibility.
By Flange Face Type
| Flange Face | Recommended Gasket Type | Not Suitable | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raised Face (RF) | SWG with outer ring · CAF/CNAF · Graphite sheet · Kammprofile | Full-face rubber (unless FF) | Most common — widest gasket selection |
| Flat Face (FF) | Full-face rubber · Full-face CAF · Full-face PTFE | Ring-only gaskets (IBC style) | Required for cast iron flanges — full face prevents flange rotation |
| Ring Type Joint (RTJ) | Oval / Octagonal RTJ rings · BX / RX (API) | All soft gaskets | Metal-to-metal seal — groove must be clean and undamaged |
| Tongue & Groove (T&G) | SWG without outer ring (Type A/C) · CAF confined ring · Rubber ring | SWG with outer ring | Self-aligning — gasket is fully confined; low blowout risk |
| Male & Female (M&F) | SWG without outer ring · Flat ring CAF/PTFE | Full face gaskets | Gasket seated on female face — confined seating improves reliability |
