Advantages Of RX Type Ring Joint Gaskets
There are several reasons why RX Type Ring Joint Gaskets can be advantageous for an application. These have been enumerated below.
- The gaskets possess a characteristic self-sealing nature. These are pressure energized, and thus the sealing gets better with increasing internal pressure.
- These gaskets can resist shock load, test pressure shock and drilling vibrations better. This makes them suitable for industries like oil drilling and crude oil refining.
- RX Series API Ring Joint Gaskets can be used interchangeably with standard R Type gaskets. However, it must be noted that these gaskets are taller in size.

Why Are Style RX Ring Gasket Not Used As Much As Style R?
RX Ring Gasket are simply a pressure-energized version of the standard Style R gasket. While fitting the same grooves as a Style R gasket, these provide various advantages,
The most prominent of them is the pressure-energizing effect. In any given arrangement, with increased internal pressure, the efficiency of their sealing also increases. But even then, these cannot be used as widely as Style R gaskets. And the reason for that is the higher costs of these gaskets. They are significantly more expensive than oval or octagonal RTJ gaskets, which can be a limitation.

Disadvantages Of RTJ Rx Gasket
While RTJ gaskets and is varieties make them a suitable choice for different applications, it is not universal gasket. The same is the case with an RTJ Rx Gasket. These are great options for high-temperature and high-pressure uses. Moreover, these are pressure-energized gaskets that promise an increase in sealing efficiency with an increase in pressure. However, the major problem with RTJ Style RX Gaskets is their high costs. Since these are costlier, there are cases where their advantage is not worth the extra expense. Moreover, these gaskets are not recommended for reuse.

Choosing the Best RX-74 Ring Gasket Material for Your Application
The choice of the ring gasket material plays a huge role in determining how effectively the sealing will be done. Therefore, the first thing to do is to consult a size chart.
It can be then determined whether an RX 35 Ring Gasket or RX-74 Ring Gasket suits the application in question.
Now, there are a variety of material options, but there isn’t “one” perfect material. You’d have to choose the best material depending on things like:
- Maximum pressure
- Maximum temperature
- Nature of medium and so on
The most common choices are different standards of Stainless steel, soft iron etc as well as exotic alloys like Inconel.

Why Are used Type RX Ring Joint Gaskets for API 6B Flanges?
RX Style ring joint gaskets are known for their effectiveness in handling high-pressure and high-temperature applications. These gaskets are designed to handle a maximum pressure of 5000 psi. And some of the applications are in the petrochemical and crude oil refining industry. The API 6B flange is also used in high-pressure applications. Its main purpose is to distribute the load on a smaller gasket area. Both are thus compatible. And this is why the manufacturing of Type RX Ring Joint Gaskets for API 6B Flanges is done.
