ASME B16.5 & B16.47 TABLES DO NOT APPLY FOR RING JOINT (RJ) FLANGES.
Note 1: The Illustration below is an Octagonal Ring Groove. Six sides "seal" &
two sides are exposed. Note 2: The two exposed sides (octagonal ring gasket)
may be color coded, but not the 6 sealing sides.
FIELD REPAIRS ARE PROHIBITED. ONLY APPROVED COMPANIES & MACHINISTS REPAIR RJ GROOVES.
ASSESS ASME B16.5 RING JOINT (RJ) FLANGE SEALING SURFACE DAMAGE
ASME B16.5 & B16.47 Ring Joint Groove Imperfections (Evaluation & Acceptance Criteria)
1. Side wall surface finish of ring joint gasket groove shall not exceed 63 microns (essentially machined smooth, .06 mm).
Note: This can be quickly & easily determined with Press-O-Film tape (used in Coating) if disputed. Almost always, excess coating or rust
due to inadequate cleaning (not using power brushing tools) or mechanical damage is cause of rejection.
2. Mechanical damage & groove surface deformation/protrusion is not permitted. (Remachine repair or replace flg)
Note: Scratches, nicks, gouges, burrs, cuts, & other mechanical damage to ring joint groove finish are evaluated per Criteria # 1.
Note: Most commonly, damage occurs to the exposed corner & facing (located as defined by the "F" dimension above).
Note: API Flanges specify a 45 degree "1.5 mm break" on the corners ... ASME B16.5 & B16.47 do not specify such a "break"
3. Lubricant is kept from sealing surfaces and properly limited to application on bolting.
4. Soft Iron octagonal ring gaskets installed shall have color coding paint applied to two outside visible sides only.
5. Rust is not allowed on assembled flanged surfaces. Corrosive pitting is rejected before installation. See 02-SAMSS-011 reqmts.
02-SAMSS-011 (Section 10) Flange Corrosion Protection Requirements (Flange Serviceability Issues)
1. Finish-machined and tested flanges shall be coated overall with a protective finish that does not hide markings.
2. Coatings shall be capable of protecting against corrosion in a marine environment for 12 months.
3. An additional separate strippable coating may be applied over the welding ends and sealing surfaces. The strippable coating need not be
weldable but shall be capable of easy removal without special tools or solvents, and shall not leave residue that will interfere with welding
or gasket seating. Examples: filled highbuild vinyl or urethane or PVC. DEMONSTRATE an effective Pre-Cleaning (Stripping) Method.
