Abstract: A spherical annular seal member 40 includes: a spherical annular base member 38 which is defined by a cylindrical inner surface 34 defining a through hole 33 in a central portion, a partially convex spherical surface 35, and annular end faces 36 and 37 on large- and small-diameter sides of the partially convex spherical surface 35; and an outer layer 39 formed integrally on the partially convex spherical surface 35 of the spherical annular base member 38.

Abstract: A spherical annular seal member 46 includes a spherical annular base member 42 defined by a cylindrical inner surface 38, a partially convex spherical surface 39, and large- and small-diameter side annular end faces 40 and 41 of the partially convex spherical surface 39; a plurality of partially convex spherical intermediate layers 43 formed integrally on the partially convex spherical surface 39 of the spherical annular base member 42 and laminated in a radial direction; and an outer layer 45 formed integrally on a partially convex spherical surface 44 of the outermost partially convex spherical intermediate layer 43 of these partially convex spherical intermediate layers 43.

Abstract: In a cylindrical gasket 23, a heat-resistant material 1 made from expanded graphite and a reinforcing member 2 made from a metal wire net are provided with structural integrity by being compressed and intertwined with each other. A cylindrical inner peripheral surface 19, a cylindrical outer peripheral surface 20, and axial annular end faces 21 and 22 which are exposed on the cylindrical gasket 23 are each formed by a surface where a surface constituted of the heat-resistant material 1 and a surface constituted of the reinforcing member 2 are present in mixed form, and in the cylindrical gasket 23, the density of the heat-resistant material 1 is in the range of 1.21 to 1.58 Mg/m3, and the mass of the reinforcing member 2 occupies 50 to 80% of the total mass of the cylindrical gasket 23.
