Abstract
A sealing component () for a turbine () positionable at an interface between a transition section () for carrying exhaust gas and a turbine inlet section (). A U-shaped section () includes first and second legs (). When the sealing component is positioned at the interface, the legs extend about the turbine axis. A seal flange () connects to the U-shaped section. The positioned sealing component extends about the axis and in a direction away from the first leg. The seal flange faces the inner surface () of the flange. A flexible strip (), positioned radially outward with respect to the seal flange, extends about the axis and extends along the axis between the U-shaped section and the flange. The flexible strip acts as a spring member pressing against the outer surface () of the flange.
