Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide an axial-flow turbine having an improved efficiency. In addition, the assembly and dismantling possibilities are to be extended. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the parting seam (17) between the outer ring (12) of the nozzle ring (15) and the cover (8) is arranged on the moving-blade side of an imaginary plane (20) passing through the center of the gap width (19) of the axial gap (18).
