Figure-1: the ASME B16.5 flange with a ring-type joint (RTJ) facing. P – pitch diameter of groove; G – minimum diameter of raised portion; F – upper width of groove; r – radius at bottom of groove; E – depth of groove, equal to height of raised portion; 23°: slope angle of side wall.

Figure-2: a RTJ joint consisting of two RTJ flanges and a metallic ring gasket which rests in the ring-joint groove. h: approximate distance between flanges. N: groove number.

Figure -3: The stud bolt with two nuts for the connection of two RTJ flanges. Its length is denoted as L (L does not include the height of the points).
