Ring type Gaskets

sureshchoksi · Aug 10, 2024

Can some one clarify on the interchangeability of Oval Ring type Gasket with Octagonal Ring type gasket? To be very specific, as I understand,
A. Flange with Octagonal Ring Groove: Oval Ring or Octagonal Ring type Gasket can be used.
B. Flange with Oval Ring Groove: Can Octagonal Ring type Gasket be used for Oval Ring Groove Flange, or only Oval Ring type Gasket can be used? Thanks.

A. Correct
B. Only an Oval Ring type gasket can be used with Oval groove RTJ flanges

Are these very old flanges? As far as I can see, no one makes Oval shaped ring joint flanges and they all became flat bottomed about 1960?

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

These are the flanges of Heat Exchanger Nozzle, and its some how recent one. Not old one.
