Overview of the Ring MaxTM SystemOverview of the Ring MaxTM System

What is a ring groove?

An API (American Petroleum Institute) specified groove used in the oil and gas industry that is machined in the face of 2 mating surfaces (flanges) to accept a metallic ring that forms the seal when

assembled.

“R” ring gasket

M8, Model R oval is a standard ring joint gasket designed for

flanges with standard ring joint grooves.

M9, Model R octagonal is a standard ring joint gasket designed for flanges with

standard ring joint grooves.


“RX” ring gasket

M12, Model RX is a ring joint gasket for pressures up to approximately 700 bar. This

model is characterized as “pressure energized”, the outer sealing surfaces form

the first contact with the flanges. Higher pressure causes increased gasket stress,

improving the efficiency of the seal. RX seals are interchangeable with the R model

groove.


“BX” ring gasket

M11, model BX is a ring joint gasket for very high pressures (up to 1500 bar). This gasket is suited only for

API-type BX flanges and grooves. BX gaskets incorporate a pressure

balance hole to ensure equalization of pressure.

• Since the Ring Max™ program beginning we have sold many cutters around the world which has provided proven cost

savings to those global customers.

• With this now being a standard product offering allowing shorter lead times we will be able to get the cutters to our

customers faster.

• The Ring Max™ 3 adds versatility to the Ring Max™ line up and testing has proven the 2 piece construction to be accurate and

effective.

• For those who do not like the Ring Max™ 3 two piece construction we still offer the Ring Max™ 2 one piece

construction.
