Abstract

A method of producing a spiral wound gasket for sealing fluid such as a liquid including water and oil, and a gaseous body including vapor and gas and a device for producing the spiral wound gasket. The tip portion of a hoop material is cut and raised thereby forming a checking stepped-portion. The checking stepped-portion is caught by a checking pawl, so as to wind the hoop material around a core drum. After winding the hoop material around the outer periphery of the core drum, at least once, the checking pawl is retracted from the outer periphery of the core drum, thereby separating the checking pawl from the checking stepped-portion. The spiral wound gasket produced by the present invention exhibits an excellent sealing property. Moreover, it also has an excellent durability.
