DIPTI METAL INDUSTRIES
Dipti Metal Industries is a Leading global API 6A Type 6BX Flange Manufacturer, API 6A Type 6BX 3000 PSI Flange Supplier & API 6A Type 6BX 3000 PSI Flange Exporter of 20.7 MPa (3000 PSI) flanged products for high-integrity, severe service in Mumbai, India. The Type 6BX flange uses BX Ring Type Joint (RTJ) Gaskets and is a **bolt-preloaded** connection, designed for superior resistance to external bending moments and pressure compared to the Type 6B. We focus on providing certified 6BX Flanges, particularly in large nominal sizes (e.g., 26 3/4" and 30") for wellhead and blowout preventer (BOP) applications. We ensure supply meets all material classes (DD, EE, FF) and Product Specification Levels (PSL 1-4), adhering strictly to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for sour service. Find certified API 6A 6BX Flanges here.
Founded in 2009 in Mumbai, India, we are a specialized global API 6A Flange Manufacturer and API 6A Type 6BX 3000 PSI Flange Exporter focused on high-integrity components for the energy sector. Our manufacturing and inspection processes are tailored to meet the exacting requirements of API 6A PSL levels, ensuring our Type 6BX 3000 PSI flanges deliver maximum performance in medium-to-high pressure applications. We stock and supply both common and large nominal sizes (e.g., 26 3/4" and 30"), complete with material traceability and compliance for upstream oilfield projects globally.
The API 6A Type 6BX connection is highly regarded for its greater strength and stability under bending and thermal loads compared to Type 6B. It operates as a **bolt-preloaded** system, using the high tensile strength of the bolting to maintain a superior metal-to-metal seal via the **Type BX Ring Gasket**. At 3000 PSI (20.7 MPa), the 6BX design provides a critical, high-integrity flange face essential for components exposed to significant operational stresses in mid-pressure drilling and production environments.
