ABSTRACT:
Spline seals are provided in registering end faces of upper and lower diaphragm segments in a steam turbine at each of the horizontal joints. The diaphragm segments each include inner and outer semi-annular rings with circumferentially spaced partitions extending therebetween. The registering end faces of each of the inner and outer semi-annular rings of the segments are spanned by spline seals which may comprise a sheet metal plate, a sheet metal body having reversely-curved ends, a solid body having bulbous ends or a sheet metal plate covered by a metallic or ceramic woven cloth. Leakage paths, both in axial and radial directions, are minimized or precluded.
