BX-160
The BX-160 Ring Joint Gasket is a metallic sealing component designed for high-pressure and high-temperature industrial piping systems. It is manufactured in accordance with API 6A specifications, intended for use with API 6BX flanges. This gasket features a pressure passage hole structure to support stable sealing performance under elevated pressure conditions, suitable for commercial procurement in energy and process industries.
This BX style ring joint gasket is produced to API 6A dimensional and performance specifications. It is designed for high-pressure service, with dimensional tolerances aligned to industry standard requirements for flange sealing. The BX style is not interchangeable with other ring joint gasket styles, and is only compatible with API 6BX flange configurations.
The BX series gasket incorporates a pressure passage hole that enables pressure equalization on both sides of the sealing faces. This structure supports consistent sealing performance during pressure changes, reducing the risk of gasket displacement or sealing failure during system pressurization and depressurization cycles.

BX series ring joint gaskets are manufactured from metallic materials, with material options available to match different corrosion resistance and temperature resistance requirements. The metallic construction supports use in high-pressure and high-temperature operating environments, with dimensional consistency to ensure proper seating in API 6BX flange grooves. Material selection can be adjusted based on specific medium and operating condition requirements for each project.
BX style ring joint gaskets are used across sectors that operate high-pressure piping systems. Primary applications include oil and gas production and refining, petrochemical processing, and power generation facilities. They are installed on API 6BX flanges in wellhead systems, pipeline connections, and high-pressure process equipment, serving as a core sealing component for pressurized fluid systems.
The BX-160 ring joint gasket is only compatible with API 6BX flanges. It is not interchangeable with R, RX, or other ring joint gasket styles, and cannot be used with standard flange configurations outside the API 6BX specification.
The BX-160 gasket is manufactured in accordance with API 6A specifications for ring joint gaskets, with dimensional tolerances and performance requirements aligned to this industry standard.
The pressure passage hole allows pressure to equalize on both sides of the gasket sealing faces. This reduces uneven stress on the gasket during system pressure changes, supporting more stable sealing performance over repeated pressure cycles.
BX series gaskets are most commonly used in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries, where high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems require metallic sealing solutions.
