Abstract
A system for sealing a gas path in a turbine includes a stator ring segment, a shroud segment adjacent to the stator ring segment, and a first load-bearing surface between the stator ring segment and the shroud segment. A first non-metallic gasket is in contact with the first load-bearing surface between the stator ring segment and the shroud segment. A method for sealing a gas path in a turbine includes placing a non-metallic gasket between any two of a stator ring segment, a shroud segment, and a casing.
