Spiral wound gasket (spirotallic gasketis) made of a thin metallic strip and soft non-metallic filler which are wound on a rotating mandrel synchronously. the metal hoop is pre-formed with a V or W shaped profile,which allows the gasket to act as a spring between the flanges. Then,the hoop provides the basic structural element for the gasket while the non-metal filler material seals small imperfections on the flange surfaces. depend on its excellent compression resilient, it's suitable for sealing spots where the alteration of temperature and pressure are frequent,such as pipes,valve,pumps etc.
