3. Overview of the Ring MaxTM System
What is a ring groove?
An API (American Petroleum Institute) specified groove used in the oil and gas industry that is machined in the face of 2 mating surfaces (flanges) to accept a metallic ring that forms the seal when assembled. 3

6. Overview of the Ring MaxTM System
“R” ring gasket
M8, Model R oval is a standard ring joint gasket designed for flanges with standard ring joint grooves.
M9, Model R octagonal is a standard ring joint gasket designed for flanges with standard ring joint grooves.

7. Overview of the Ring MaxTM System
“RX” ring gasket
M12, Model RX is a ring joint gasket for pressures up to approximately 700 bar. This model is characterized as “pressure energized”, the outer sealing surfaces form the first contact with the flanges. Higher pressure causes increased gasket stress, improving the efficiency of the seal. RX seals are interchangeable with the R model groove.

8. Overview of the Ring MaxTM System
“BX” ring gasket
M11, model BX is a ring joint gasket for very high pressures (up to 1500 bar). This gasket is suited only for API-type BX flanges and grooves. BX gaskets incorporate a pressure balance hole to ensure equalization of pressure.

Ring gasket materials vary dependant on the environment they are used in.
Basic materials:
Carbon Steel
Stainless Steel 304, 304L, 309, 316, 316L, 316 Ti, 321

50. Greenleaf ® Ring MaxTM 3 Technical Data
2 Piece Ring Max™ design
Allows for multiple spindle mounts
Gives more versatility to smaller Sub – Contract
machine shops
High accuracy of repeatability
More integration allowing customers to use
on all available machines
Cost effective, efficient solutions for shank or
head replacement in event of damage. 50

51. Where Does This Tool Fit
Into The Marketplace?
Imagine a subcontract machine shop manufacturing Oil & Gas
equipment machining API ring grooves with :
2 x VMC’s with HSK-100 spindle mounts
3 x HMC’s with Cat 50 spindle mount
1 x VMC with BT-50 spindle mount
2 x Turn / Mill machines with DIN 51

52. Problems Presented By The Shop Manager:
Too many machines with different back ends
Too much investment required to be able to run on all machines
Not enough ring grooves being machined to warrant tooling up
all machines 52

53. The Solution: Greenleaf ® Ring MaxTM 353

54. The customer prepared a test block with 14 test ports welded up
The Test:
The customer prepared a test block with 14 test ports welded up 54

55. Cutters Tested: BX150 & BX152
Back End – DIN Taper 55

56. How We Ran The Test: BX152 – Test No’s 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 134 3
We ran the above 2 tools as
detailed on the ports above
We had 2 x back ends and
after each groove we
changed the back end
We machined 1 off each size
with existing tooling to
bench mark ovality & tolerance 6 5 8 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 56

59. Questions?

60. Greenleaf ® Ring Max™ System
Since the Ring Max™ program beginning we have sold many cutters around the world which has provided proven cost savings to those global customers.
With this now being a standard product offering allowing shorter lead times we will be able to get the cutters to our customers faster.
The Ring Max™ 3 adds versatility to the Ring Max™ line up and testing has proven the 2 piece construction to be accurate and effective.
For those who do not like the Ring Max™ 3 two piece construction we still offer the Ring Max™ 2 one piece construction.
