The article presents the influence of important design parameters of a spiral gasket on axial stiffness and leakage level. These parameters were the angle of inclination of the central part of the spiral section, the length of the vertical part of the spiral section, and the degree of densification of the material filling the metal coils. The scope of work was divided into two stages. In the first, experimental tests were conducted to determine the stiffness and tightness of a standard spiral gasket at two extreme levels of densification of the filler material, and the elastic–plastic properties of expanded graphite, which is the filler material of the metal spirals, were determined. In the second stage, multivariate numerical calculations were carried out to determine the axial stiffness of the gasket and to evaluate the distribution of contact pressure on the sealing surface. A novel aspect of the work is the proposal of a mathematical model to estimate the averaged value of the modulus of elasticity of the filler material as a function of the degree of densification and the execution of an experimental plan that significantly allowed the adoption of a limited number of analysed model variants used in the numerical calculations.
