Solid Metal Gaskets

Kaxite Sealing solid metal gaskets—engineered for zero-leak performance in extreme pressure and heat.

Solid Metal Gaskets – Extreme Pressure Sealing for RTJ Flanges & Critical Services

Solid metal gaskets — also known as RTJ gaskets (Ring-Type Joint) or metal ring gaskets — are the ultimate sealing solution for extreme pressure and high-temperature applications. Machined from solid metal (soft iron, stainless steel, Inconel, Monel, or titanium), these gaskets rely on metal-to-metal contact rather than soft filler materials, delivering unmatched reliability in the most demanding services.

At Kaxite Sealing, a leading China solid metal gasket manufacturer since 2015, we engineer every metal ring gasket to API 6A, ASME B16.20, and NACE MR0175 standards. Our solid metal gaskets are trusted by procurement engineers and EPC contractors across oil & gas exploration, wellhead equipment, high-pressure pipelines, and subsea systems in over 60 countries.

What Is a Solid Metal Gasket?

A solid metal gasket (also called a metal ring gasket or RTJ gasket) is a one-piece metallic sealing element machined from a solid block of metal. Unlike kammprofile, spiral wound, or jacketed gaskets — which rely on soft filler materials — solid metal gaskets achieve their seal through metal-to-metal contact. When compressed between RTJ flange grooves, the gasket deforms plastically, filling the groove and creating a leak‑tight seal that withstands extreme pressures and temperatures.

Solid metal gaskets are the preferred sealing solution for API 6A wellhead equipment, high-pressure pipelines, subsea systems, and refineries where zero leakage is mandatory and service conditions exceed the capabilities of soft‑filled gaskets.

🔩 Standard RTJ Profiles

  • Oval — standard ASME B16.20, lowest cost
  • Octagonal — superior sealing, ASME B16.20
  • BX (API 6A) — pressure‑energized for high pressure
  • RX (API 6A) — pressure‑energized, self‑sealing
  • SBX / SRX — subsea variants for deepwater

🏭 Industries & Applications

  • Oil & Gas Exploration — wellhead, X‑mas trees
  • Refineries — high‑temperature flanges
  • Petrochemical — critical service flanges
  • Subsea Systems — deepwater connections
  • Power Generation — boiler flanges, steam lines

📌 Why Specify Solid Metal?

No filler to fail. Pure metal construction means no outgassing, no thermal degradation, no chemical attack on filler materials.

Ultimate reliability. Proven in the most demanding wellhead and subsea applications worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solid Metal Gaskets

Q1: What is a solid metal gasket?

A solid metal gasket (RTJ gasket) is a one‑piece metallic sealing element machined from solid metal, used in RTJ flange connections for extreme pressure and temperature services.

Q2: What is the difference between oval and octagonal RTJ gaskets?

Octagonal gaskets provide better sealing performance with higher seating stress and are preferred for critical services. Oval gaskets are more forgiving on flange groove fit.
