Abstract
A gas turbine combustor is disposed in a casing interior space of a gas turbine. A combustor basket of the combustor is formed into a cylindrical shape by abutting ends of a curved panel member and welding the ends together along a welding line. A communication tube is provided for communication between an interior space of the combustor basket and an interior space of a combustor basket of an adjacent combustor. The position of the welding line of the combustor basket coincides with a connection position for connecting the communication tube to the combustor basket. A cooling air hole is disposed in the communication tube or in the combustor basket in the vicinity of the communication tube to introduce cooling air from the casing interior spaceto the interior of the combustor basket.
