API 6A Ring Joint Gaskets, ASME B16.20, Style RX, 15000 PSI

The ‌RX metal ring gasket‌ is a typical metal sealing gasket, usually machined from metal materials. Its shape is generally oval or octagonal, and this unique design gives it distinct advantages in sealing applications. Visually, the RX metal ring gasket features a simple and neat appearance, with the metal material endowing it with durability and strength‌.

The sealing principle of the ‌RX metal ring gasket‌ is primarily based on the elastic deformation of its metal material. When the gasket is installed between two flange surfaces and subjected to bolt preload, the metal ring undergoes elastic deformation, filling microscopic gaps between the flange surfaces to form a reliable sealing barrier. This sealing method can withstand high pressure and temperature, making it suitable for various harsh operating conditions‌
