Form follows function
Usually channels are of rectangular prismatic section.
The dimensions of the working cross-section and
length are the principal features which determine both
the functional suitability and the cost of a channel.
Bespoke design and manufacture
Armfield can design bespoke systems for your
applications. As with all of our equipment, we can
install, commission and offer full training and on site
maintenance.
We have now introduced a new suite of computer controlled standard research flumes (S20/21/22/23).
This new series of flumes are available as tilting or fixed bed and in several working lengths.
See next page for details.
