BX

Seaco manufactures and supplies a large variety of ring joint gaskets. The RTJ standard size gaskets are manufactured in accordance to API-6A and ASME B16.20 specifications. Total control of manufacturing processes ensures correct gasket surface and hardness to give a good seal without damaging flange connections.The hardness of the ring should always be less than the hardness of the flanges to prevent flange deformation. The sealing surfaces on the ring joint grooves must be smoothly finished to 63 micro inches.

BX is a gasket designed for very high pressures up to approx. 1,500 bar. These rings may only be used in connection with API type BX flanges and grooves. The BX ring has a through horizontal hole that acts as a pressure equaliser.
