ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for assembling a double flow steam turbine is provided. The method comprises providing an annular member having a first end, a second end, and a body extending therebetween, coupling a first arcuate member to the annular member wherein the first member includes a radially inner surface that defines an inner diameter of the first member and an opposite radially outer surface that defines an outer diameter of the first member, wherein the inner surface is substantially parallel to the outer surface, and coupling a second arcuate member to the annular member wherein the second member includes a radially inner surface that defines an inner diameter of the second member and an opposite radially outer surface that defines an outer diameter of the second member. The method also comprises coupling the second member to the first member such that a steam turbine flow splitter is formed.
