A range of equipment to demonstrate the mode of operation of a variety of control structures, used to establish a command from which water is discharged to an area where it is applied to crops in a surface irrigation distribution network.
A series of flumes and weirs for the measurement of water flow rates in open channels. Components are manufactured from tough durable materials yet can be easily handled during installation.
The S16 operates as an accessory to the F1-10 Hydraulics Bench, offering a highly visual demonstration of flow through both open channels and close conduits. Includes a unique elevating bed section, and models of various hydraulic structures.
The Armfield C9 Flow Meter Demonstration Unit is a self-contained facility for the demonstration of the important characteristics of 14 types of flow meter used in the measurement of water flow through pipes or open channels.
Suitable for undergraduate training and project work, the Armfield C15 is a small benchtop wind tunnel with a transparent working section. A wide range of accessories are available, allowing the comprehensive study of subsonic aerodynamics.
The C16 facilitates the viewing of the complex flow patterns associated with water flowing past solid objects or boundaries. The system uses the 'hydrogen bubble technique' to clearly show changes in the direction of the water.
The Armfield Multi-purpose Teaching Flume has been specifically designed to demonstrate the principles of fluid mechanics when applied to engineering structures in open channel flow.
The Armfield C6MkII provides facilities for the detailed study of fluid friction head losses which occur when an incompressible fluid flows through pipes, fittings and flow metering devices. For use with the Armfield F1-10 Hydraulics bench.
Based around the F1-10 Hydraulics Bench, this range of equipment has been extended and reinforced with an integrated range of hydrostatics teaching accessories and some new hydraulics products. Thus the complete curriculum can be covered.
A robust item of equipment designed to reproduce the classic experiments of Professor Osborne Reynolds.
The Armfield Air Flow Studies Unit has been designed to demonstrate how to measure the important characteristics of industrial air-distribution systems. It also shows how certain basic principles of fluid mechanics are applied to analyse flow in ducts and jets.
The F9092 demonstrates the properties of fluids and their behaviour under hydrostatic conditions, enabling students to develop an understanding and knowledge of a wide range of fundamental principles before studying fluids in motion.
The Armfield C2 Subsonic Wind Tunnel provides a comprehensive facility for the study of subsonic aerodynamics. The performance of the tunnel and its instrumentation also make it suitable for simple research projects.
The Armfield Laminar Flow Table has been designed to simulate ideal fluid flow and give clear visualisation of the flow patterns created using water as the working fluid. This enables a comprehensive investigation into the principles of potential flow and enables modelling of appropriate physical systems.
The C7MKII demonstrates pipe surge and water hammer, phenomena which occur when fluid flowing in a pipe is accelerated or decelerated. As associated pressure transients can damage pipework, systems must be designed to avoid or withstand them.
The C11MkII Pipe Network Apparatus is designed to help students understand the behaviour of pipe networks and predict flow and pressure distributions – essential to the design of systems for the transportation of fluids.
A versatile apparatus, based around a variable-speed air compressor, designed to teach the concepts of compressible flow. The basic unit contains everything required to demonstrate the fundamental principles, but an accessory (C1-MkIII-30) is available containing a number of interchangeable test sections to give a wider knowledge and understanding to the student.
Deadweight tester for the accurate calibration of pressure gauges, pressure transducers etc. Calibrates gauges 1-1,200 bar range to ±0.025% of reading
The F12 has been designed to introduce students to the fundamental characteristics of the behaviour of particle/fluid systems, in particular the relationship between the drag coefficients of falling particles and their Reynolds' number value.
This calibrator functions on the same principle adopted in calibrating industrial pressure gauges.
The Hydrostatic Pressure accessory has been designed to determine the static thrust exerted by a fluid on a submerged surface and enables comparison of the measured magnitude and position of this force with simple theory.
