Because of the physical size and the general heavy nature of the construction, it is easy to forget that a flume is an instrument and in many instances required to have a high level of integrity regarding both its working dimensions and ability to achieve repeatable results. Armfield acknowledge the necessity for accuracy,

precision and repeatability. These are cornerstones of the design, manufacture and final installation.

Armfield is an ISO 9001 Company. All of our equipment is backed by a 2 year extended warranty and our global support network.

A selection of S12 MkII - Accessories

Sediment Transport Demonstration - S8

Advanced Hydrology Study System Demonstration Channel - S12 MkII

The new S16 Hydraulic Flow Demonstrator provides unsurpassed

visual displays of flow through both open channels and closed conduits. Demonstrations can be set up quickly and easily, including varying the upstream and downstream flow conditions.

The H41 uses particle image velocimetry (PIV) to measure, non-intrusively, fluid velocities at multiple points in a flow, at a rate of up to 16Hz. The compact and portable hardware (which uses a safe, non-pulsed, Class 3b laser) and the extremely easy to use software with real time display, make this an ideal tool for undergraduate teaching and demonstration.

The S12 demonstrates some of the major physical processes found in hydrology and fluvial geomorphology, including: rainfall hydrographs for catchment areas of varying permeability; the abstraction of ground water by wells, both with and without surface recharge from rainfall; the formation of river features and effects of sediment transport.

Realistic results can be obtained from this small scale, floor standing apparatus, which can be conveniently located and requires no special services

A selection of S6 MkII - Accessories

A glass sided tilting flume with fabricated all stainless steel bed. A working cross-section of 300mm wide by 450mm deep and available in standard working lengths of 5m, 7.5m, 10m and 12.5m. Longer lengths are available to special order in increments of 2.5m.

Completely self-contained and comprising the working section, moulded inlet and discharge tanks, a series of sump tanks, a pump, an electronic flow meter, a jacking system and a control console.

WRC Flume

This improved version of the Armfield sediment transport teaching facility allows demonstration of the full range of bedforms that arise in a mobile bed as the flow and/or slope are increased.

The channel can be used to perform most of the experiments and demonstrations usually undertaken in much larger laboratory flumes, but at much lower cost and without the need for technician back-up.
