The MSS SP-44 standard covers steel pipeline flanges specifically designed for high-pressure oil and gas transmission. These "High-Yield" flanges are forged from high-strength carbon or low-alloy steel (e.g., F52 to F70) to withstand extreme stress. The RTJ (Ring Type Joint) facing features a machined groove for a metal ring gasket, ensuring a leak-proof, metal-to-metal seal under high-vibration and high-pressure conditions. They bridge the gap between standard ASME B16.5 and larger B16.47 flanges.
