Zusammenfassung:A sealing component (61) for a turbine (15) positionable at an interface between a transition section (21) for carrying exhaust gas and a turbine inlet section (32). A U-shaped section (45) includes first and second legs (67, 69). When the sealing component is positioned at the interface, the legs extend about the turbine axis. A seal flange (75) 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 (76) of the flange. A flexible strip (79), 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 (96) of the flange.
