IGP Ring Type Joint gaskets are precision machined from the Solid metal with close tolerance to be seated perfectly in the matching grooves machined in the mating flanges.
Hardness of the RTJ gaskets shall be essentially less than that of the respective mating flanges. The seating surface of the IGP Ring Type Joint gaskets will be machined to Octagonal or Oval shape. Machining of the Gasket seating surface with specific surface finish and dimensional accuracy is critical.
Ring Type Joint Gaskets are specially designed to seal the respective flange assembly joint by tightly seating and crushing with line contacts or by wedging and coining with crushing principle. This design ensures the gasket to deform under compression, creating a secured and robust seal.
As the flanges are tightly closed by applying sufficient bolt torque, the gasket is compressed and the seating area of the gasket flows, fills and fully adopts the contacting flange surface by enabling an exceptionally tight metal-to-metal seal capable of withstanding very high pressures.
This special joint design feature enables the Ring Type Joint gaskets highly dependable leak free seal for very high pressure and temperature and highly corrosive applications.

SPECIAL TYPE RING GASKET
STYLE R AND RX RTJ WITH PTFE INSERT
IGP R and RX Ring Type Joint gaskets are with PTFE inserts.
The insert will be located between the inside diameter of the Ring Type Joint gasket and the bore of the flange. By tightening the bolt the trapped PTFE insert will also be compressed along with the RTJ gasket and fully and tightly fill the annular space between the flange bore and the ID of the RTJ gasket.
Specially introduced PTFE insert serves to reduce the turbulent flow and avoid the corrosion and erosion of the gasket and the flange face by filling the gap between gasket ID and Flange bore and preventing to come in to contact with the medium handled.

Key Features and Benefits of RTJ Gaskets
These gaskets can endure repeated usage, thermal cycling, mechanical stresses, and extreme conditions, offering a durable and long-lasting sealing solution.
RTJ gaskets are typically crafted from materials such as soft iron, stainless steel, or alloyed metals, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical substances.
Thanks to their design that fits into specialized grooves on flange faces, Ring Gaskets are relatively straightforward to install. Moreover, they require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient choice for industrial applications.
The deformation of Ring Gaskets under compression results in a tight seal that effectively prevents leaks and blowouts, even under high-pressure conditions.
