The elastic deformation formula was established through the mechanical model and theoretical analysis. Using the national standard 4.5 mm thickness of winding gasket as a benchmark, three kinds of W-shaped steel band structures were designed respectively with different width of flat steel belt.The compression recovery performance of the flexible graphite metal spiral wound gasket with different W-shaped steel band structures was studied under different coil compression force and tension force through orthogonal experiments, and the best combination performance parameters of the flexible graphite metal spiral wound gasket were obtained.
