Thumb

The Ring Type Joint was initially developed for high pressure/temperature applications found in the petroleum industry and is primarily used in the oil field on drilling and completion equipment. However, today this product range can also be found on valves and pipework assemblies, along with some high integrity pressure vessel joints.

Standard Style R Ring Type Joints are manufactured in accordance with both API 6A and ASME B16.20 size/ratings. Available in both oval and octagonal configurations, both types are interchangeable on the modern octagonal type grooved flanges.
