Metallic Gaskets: STYLE RX and SRX
The Style RX ring type joint is manufactured in accordance with API 6A and ASME B16.20, to suit API 6B and ASME B16.5 flanges. Style RX ring type joint is a pressure energized adaptation of the Style R ring type joint. The Style RX is designed to fit the modern flat bottom groove, and is interchangeable with the standard Style R ring type joint. However, since the Style RX is significantly taller than a Style R, larger flange make up distances will result.

Style RX ring type joints are designed to seal pressures up to 6,250 psi in accordance with ASME B16.5 pressure ratings, and up to 5,000 psi in accordance with API 6A pressure ratings. The design uses a pressure energized effect which improves the efficiency of the seal as the internal pressure of the system increases. Selected sizes incorporate a pressure passage hole to allow for pressure equalization each side of the sealing faces.
