where a bending angle constituting the bent portion is α (°), and a radius of curvature of the bent portion is r (mm).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A spiral wound gasket in which a laminate of a hoop member made of metal and a filler member is wound and integrated so as to have an opening at the center, wherein the hoop member has a cross-sectional shape with a bent portion, and V expressed by an equation (I) below is 0.5 to 2.4: V = 1 r  cos  ( α 2 ) , ( I ) where a bending angle of the hoop member at the bent portion is α (°), and a radius of curvature of the hoop member at the bent portion is r (mm). 2 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 1 , wherein the bending angle α of the hoop member at the bent portion is 80° to 140°. 3 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 1 , wherein the radius of curvature r of the hoop member at the bent portion is 0.2 mm to 1.2 mm. 4 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 1 , wherein the hoop member is composed of stainless steel, and the filler member has a density of 1 g/cm 3 to 1.2 g/cm 3 and is composed of expanded graphite. 5 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 1 , wherein the spiral wound gasket as a whole has a density of 2.1 g/cm 3 to 2.4 g/cm 3 . 6 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 1 , wherein when the spiral wound gasket is compressed with a surface pressure of 10 MPa, a bending angle α′ of the hoop member at the bent portion that is compressed is 40° to 120°, and a radius of curvature r′ of the hoop member at the compressed bent portion is 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm. 7 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 2 , wherein the radius of curvature r of the hoop member at the bent portion is 0.2 mm to 1.2 mm. 8 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 2 , wherein the hoop member is composed of stainless steel, and the filler member has a density of 1 g/cm 3 to 1.2 g/cm 3 and is composed of expanded graphite. 9 . The spiral wound gasket of claim 3 , wherein the hoop member is composed of stainless steel, and the filler member has a density of 1 g/cm 3 to 1.2 g/cm 3 and is composed of expanded graphite.
