Interference fit provides pressure
energized seal. No plastic packing
required.
Type P Elastomer Seal
Metal retainer rings prevent
extrusion
Seal energized against
casing with plastic
packing injection
Dovetail Elastomer Seals
Dovetail shape locks
seal into groove
Wide seal surface
provides improved
sealing
Tapered edges help
prevent extrusion
Commonly used as test plug and large O.D. seals
Type S Elastomer Seal
Metal springs in corners to
prevent extrusion
OD bump provides

API Flange Bolting
Flanges under pressure see a separation force equal to
the pressure times the area inside the ring gasket.
F = P x A
This separation force is contained by the flange bolting.
Thus, larger flanges and higher pressure flanges have
larger bolts and/or more bolts.
As the bolt diameter increases the amount of make up
torque goes up.
API 6A publishes recommended make-up torques for API
bolting.
