Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for joining adjacent sections of a compressor diaphragm. A splitline jumper is positioned within a recessed portion of a seal ring segment of the adjacent compressor diaphragms. The splitline jumper is sized and oriented so as to prevent axial movement of the compressor diaphragms relative to each other and also to prevent rotational movement of the seal ring relative to the diaphragm.
