Gland steam is steam supplied to the labyrinth glands of the low pressure turbine to prevent air entering in the exhaust side, which disturbs the vacuum (± 50 mbar absolute) in the condenser. Gland steam pressure is to supply at about 0,2 bar.

What is the Function of gland box in steam turbine?
Gland is used for the prevent leakage of oil from the gland box which is made up of copper or brass and gland box function is to support the glands which are made up of cast iron.This is called oil gland. steam gland is used for prevent the leakage of steam which exhausts air and which helps build up the vaccum in condenser is called steam gland.

yes
Why is gland steam required in steam turbines?
The purpose of the gland steam system is to reduce steam leakage to a minimum and to prevent air ingress.Steam leakage leads to the requirement for increased make up; this increases the load on the feed and boiler water treatment chemicals and to a deterioration of the working environment surrounding the power plant.Air ingress leads to a loss of vacuum and hence reduction in plant efficiency , and causes problems of thermal stressing around the gland as well as increases oxygen content of the exhaust steam.To avoid ingress of air to the LP casing and to aprevent steam leak at the HP and IP casings.
