A containment for a continuous flow machine, in particular for a gas turbine, is disclosed. The containment has at least one annular housing with at least one axial section of lesser radial wall thickness and at least one axial section adjacent thereto of greater wall thickness, where the housing is designed and constructed so that the section of greater wall thickness is at a distance in the axial direction of the continuous flow machine from a trailing edge of a guide vane lying downstream in the direction of flow of the continuous flow machine, and extends downstream in the direction of flow of the continuous flow machine over a leading edge of the next downstream guide vane.

Containment for a continuous flow machine

A turbomachine stage, in particular a turbine stage or compressor stage of a gas turbine, is disclosed. The turbomachine stage has a, in particular conical, housing in which a rotor blade arrangement having a plurality of rotor blades is disposed which have an outer shroud having at least one radial sealing flange. The sealing flange has a recess arrangement having at least one radial recess in which a radial projection is disposed, in particular centrally. A sensor arrangement having at least one capacitive sensor for detecting a radial distance from a circumferential surface of the sealing flange is disposed on the housing.
