Ring Type Joint Gasket Dimensions

R, RX and BX ring dimensions to ASME B16.20 and API 6A, in millimetres, as manufactured by TBJ-UTEX under the Aerolite® brand.

This chart lists the ring dimensions for every standard ring type joint gasket in the Aerolite® range: Type R oval and octagonal rings R11 to R105, Type RX rings RX20 to RX215, and Type BX rings BX150 to BX303. The figures are the ones we manufacture to, transcribed from our RTJ technical datasheet (PDF), in millimetres throughout. Tolerances are given in each table heading.

Ring type joints are specified by ring number, not by pipe size, so the ring number is the key to every table below. Where a ring is used on ASME B16.5 flanges, the nominal size and pressure class it fits are shown beside it. Rings marked API 6A are listed for wellhead and Christmas tree flanges rather than a B16.5 pressure class.

How to read the chart

Pitch diameter P is the diameter to the centre of the ring section. It is the same figure as the groove pitch diameter on the mating flange, so a ring number can be confirmed from a flange drawing by this dimension alone.

Oval and octagonal Type R rings share a ring number, pitch diameter and width. They differ only in section height, so an octagonal ring fits any flat-bottom groove cut for the same ring number. Oval rings also suit the older round-bottom grooves.

Groove dimensions are not on this page. Groove width, depth and surface finish are set by the flange standard, ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47, or by the API 6A flange type, and should be taken from the flange drawing.

RX and BX rings are pressure-energised and are not interchangeable with Type R. RX rings fit the same groove as the Type R ring of the same number but stand higher. BX rings need a BX groove. BX rings are not reused.

Type R oval and octagonal rings, R11 to R105

Tolerances: pitch diameter ±0.18, width ±0.20, heights ±0.50, flat width ±0.20, radius ±0.5. Rings marked * conform to API 6A. A dash in the oval column means the ring is made octagonal only.

Ring materials, hardness and temperature limits

The ring must be softer than the flange so that it yields into the groove rather than marking the flange face. Hardness is controlled to the maximum values below. Monel, copper, brass, aluminium, Inconel, Incoloy and titanium rings are made on request.

Each ring is marked with the manufacturer's name, API monogram and licence number, ring number, material code and heat number, so it can be traced to its mill certificate on receipt.

Cross-referencing another manufacturer's ring

Ring numbers are defined by ASME B16.20 and API 6A, not by any manufacturer. An R, RX or BX ring from any maker that carries the same number is made to the same dimensions in these tables, so an Aerolite® ring can be substituted on dimensions from the ring number alone. Material, hardness and service conditions should be confirmed by your engineer before substitution.

Request a quotation

Email the ring number, section (oval or octagonal for Type R), material and quantity to enquiry@tbj.com.my. A flange drawing is enough if the ring number is not known.

Quotations for Malaysia are in MYR; export quotations are in USD, with the lead time quoted per order. Australian buyers can read how an export order runs on the Australia page.
