BX ring joint gaskets feature a pressure-energized sealing design intended for use with compatible BX-type flange grooves. These gaskets are manufactured to precise dimensional and material requirements to support effective sealing in high-pressure oilfield connections.
The BX156 designation identifies a specific ring gasket size within the BX series. Correct gasket selection requires verification of the mating flange, ring groove dimensions, pressure rating, gasket material, and applicable equipment specifications.
STX Engineering Solutions supports oil & gas, drilling, offshore, marine, and industrial customers in Kemaman, Terengganu, Malaysia with the sourcing and supply of BX156 ring gaskets, API 6A ring joint gaskets, wellhead sealing components, high-pressure flange gaskets, and related oilfield equipment.

BX Type Ring Joint Gaskets
BX156 belongs to the BX-type ring joint gasket family used for high-pressure sealing in oilfield pressure-containing equipment.
Common ring joint gasket configurations include:
- R Type Ring Joint Gasket – Available in oval and octagonal profiles for compatible RTJ flange grooves in industrial piping and pressure equipment.
- RX Type Ring Joint Gasket – Pressure-energized metallic gasket commonly used in high-pressure oilfield flange connections.
- BX Type Ring Joint Gasket – Pressure-energized metallic gasket designed for compatible BX flange grooves in high-pressure API 6A equipment.
BX-type gaskets are specifically designed for BX groove configurations and should not be substituted with R or RX ring gaskets unless expressly permitted by the applicable equipment specifications.
Correct Product Identification
When sourcing a BX156 Ring Gasket, customers should verify the complete gasket designation and relevant flange requirements to ensure the correct replacement is selected.
Important information includes the BX156 ring number, flange specification, groove dimensions, equipment pressure rating, gasket material, hardness, operating temperature, and service conditions.
For sour service or corrosive environments, customers should confirm any applicable material requirements, including NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 where relevant.
Material test certificates, dimensional inspection records, and product traceability documentation may also be required depending on project specifications.
BX ring joint gaskets are generally intended for single-use installation and should be replaced when flange connections are dismantled, in accordance with the applicable equipment manufacturer's requirements.
