Spacing between RTJ flanges with style R oval gasket
Spacing between RTJ flanges with style R oval gasket
(OP)
Hello everyone,
After Googling, I still can't get the recommended spacing for different size and pressure rating of RTJ flanges using R type gasket. I just know there is no spacing between RTJ flange with BX type gasket. For R type gasket, there should be a spacing between RTJ flanges. We use 1" 2500# RTJ flange with style R oval gasket in my project. Any comments are appriciated.

Page 66 note that the "approximate" clearence between 1" #2500 flangesis 4mm regardless of type of gasket.
You need to be aware of possible crevice corroision using RTJ flanges if you have corrosive fluid. I have often had to inconel face RTJ flanges to avoid this as they dont' seal on the flange faces like the BX and NORSOK flanges do.

Also R and RX have different spacing.
