Introduction
Senior Flexonics Pathway, with origins dating to 1902,
pioneered development of the first fabric expansion joints
for flue gas ducting applications in 1964 as a practical
alternative to large round and rectangular metal expansion
joints. With superior flexibility to absorb the large motions
occurring in ducting systems, fabric expansion joints have
become the preferred product for these demanding
applications.
Since those early days, we have stayed at the forefront of
product design innovation and materials development
technology. As a member of the Fluid Sealing Association
(FSA) and the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association
(EJMA), Senior Flexonics Pathway has set the highest
standards for furnishing engineered nonmetallic materials,
combined with proven frame designs to yield durability,
reliability and extended service life.
This design manual has been developed to provide
knowledgeable insight into the proper application of fabric
expansion joints. Useful design information, installation
instructions and engineering reference data have been
included to assist the reader in selecting a product that will
provide the best overall value through increased operating
efficiency, reduced maintenance and extended reliability.
