Abstract
A seal strip () with a central relatively thin portion () and first and second thicker side portions () that may be wedge-shaped adjacent the central portion. Each side portion may be formed of a linear array of base-in prisms (), where each prism includes a base adjacent and normal to the central portion, and a thickness tapering distally toward an adjacent edge of the seal strip. The base-in prisms of each side portion may be separated by transverse slots () along the length of the strip. The transverse slots of the first side portion may be unaligned with the transverse slots of the second side portion along the length of the strip. A retention pin () may extend normally from an end of the seal strip. The seal strip may be mounted in tapered slots () of a gas turbine transition exit frame ().
