Style RX Ring Type Joint Gaskets are created as outlined by both API 6A and ASME B16.20 to suit API 6B and ASME B16.5 flanges. Type RX is a stress-energized adaptation of your standard Type R gasket.
ASME B16.20 specifies the exterior work surface of each gasket shall bring the manufacturers' brand or recognition signature and gasket quantity prefixed by the characters R, RX, or BX, accompanied by the gasket substance id. Supplies will probably be known as demonstrated in Desk 2. The gasket shall even be noted by having an ASME B16.20 designation. The marking will be utilized so as to not harmfully distort the gasket or change the dependability of the close.
