GASKET

Other than design requirements or preferences a big reason is they are tougher in the normal small cross section seen in Hx's.
A spiral wound gasket would normally require a support ring or grove to retain it. The flange can be designed to restrain a non supported spiral wound gasket.
It is much easier to make a partitioned gasket by using a metal jacketed type. The easiest would be sheet gasket.
