Arrangements for brush seals

摘要

A kit for making brush seals comprises plates for a brush seal of a first size, plates for a brush seal of a second size different than the first size, and bristle arrangements 101 compatible with the first size but not the second size. The bristle arrangements become compatible with the second size by removing a section 105 from, or adding a section 111 to, said bristle arrangements 101. A method of reworking a bristle arrangement for a brush seal comprises the steps of: providing a bristle arrangement 101 removing a section 117 from the bristle arrangement 101 and adding a replacement section 119 to the bristle arrangement 101.
