Text version of the page

8 STYLE RX The Style RX is an adaptation of the standard Style R which energizes on assembly. The RX is designed to fit the same groove design as a standard Style R, making the joints interchangeable. Consideration should be given to the difference in finished make-up distance. The modified design uses an energizing on assembly effect which improves the efficiency of the seal. Designs are also available for Subsea applications.
