ABSTRACT:
In a segmented cylindrical flow confining apparatus, fluidic sealing is provided between the segments of the apparatus. Adjacent segments include flanges in overlapped radially spaced relationship to form a gap therebetween. A seal member resides in a pair of overlapping pockets formed in the overlapping flanges. The seal member is in sealing engagement with the end wall of each pocket and is free to rotate from a first sealing position to a second sealing position when the flow confining apparatus is subject to thermally induced growth.
