Armfield through their CE range of products offer the most compreshensive, diverse and technically current group of products of any manufacturer, bringing both basic principles and complete unit operations to the modern educational laboratory.

The Armfield CEXC family is a range of chemical reactors specifically developed for the teaching and demonstration of chemical reactor capabilities to chemical engineering students. Real chemical reactions take place within the reactors, and Armfield have developed a number of representative reactions which are easy and safe for students to use in the laboratory environment. This range of small-scale chemical reactors comprises five units, which represent the types of reactors found in the industry. Three of the reactors mount on a common bench top service unit (CEXC) whilst the other two are free-standing. PC based educational software is included along with the necessary interface device to provide computer control, automatic logging of data and analysis of results. Reactors comprise: Plug Flow, Laminar Flow, Stirred Tank, Tubular and Batch reactors.

The Armfield Hydraulics Bench (F1-10) and accessories have long been the benchmark used in fluid mechanics teaching laboratories. The comprehensive range of equipment can covers all aspects of the teaching of hydraulics in a safe, visual and easy-to-understand way, backed up by first-class teaching materials. This range of equipment has now been extended and reinforced with an integrated range of hydrostatics teaching accessories together with some new hydraulics products. Thus the complete curriculum can be covered with this attractive range of products. The F1-10 is designed as a portable and self-contained service module for the entire range of F1 accessories and a few other accessories as well such as C6MKII and S16. Each accessory is supplied as a complete piece of equipment, needing no additional service items other than the Hydraulics Bench. When coupled to the bench they are immediately ready for use.

S16 configured as an open channel showing flow over an elevated section of the bed with a hydraulic jump forming on the downstream slope. It demonstrates flow through both open channels and closed conduits when coupling this highly visual accessory with the F1-10 Hydraulics Bench. It has a unique elevating bed section and models of various hydraulic structures enable the difficult concepts of critical flow and energy changes to be clearly demonstrated and analysed. It also has a working section large enough for the various flow phenomena to be seen clearly by a group of students – enables a teacher to provide practical demonstrations at the same time as explaining the theory. The demonstrations can be set up quickly and easily, including varying the upstream and downstream flow conditions. It is ideal for student project work – user constructed models of different hydraulic structures can be evaluated.
