Our commitment to you
Armfield welcome you to our ninth edition catalogue
Armfield Limited have over 50 years experience in the design and supply of equipment for Engineering
teaching. In that time they have been consistent innovators and have brought many new concepts
and products to market.
It is the declared intent of the Company to remain at the forefront of the industry through its on-going
commitment to research and development.
While others may copy, Armfield see their strength and through that strength their commitment to
the Engineering Education world, in providing new and unique ways of introducing and educating the
student population in this most important of professional arenas.
The Company recognises that it is not enough to supply equipment but that it must also ensure
a complete range of services both pre and post sale. With a market place that covers all points of
the globe, communication is an essential part of that service, Armfield strive to make the passage of
communication as easy as possible whether the task is seeking data prior to a purchase or support after
a sale.
This ninth edition of the Company’s short form brochure reflects this ethos and the options available
to obtain data. We hope you will find it a useful and rewarding aid in your search for engineering
excellence within your teaching and research laboratories.

The unit is designed to demonstrate the operational
advantages of parallel or series operation, depending on
the required duty.

The gear pump is the most widely used of the positive action rotary pumps. Two gear wheels
operate inside a casing; one is driven whilst the other rotates in mesh with it. The liquid is carried
around in the space between consecutive teeth and then ejected as the teeth mesh.
The pump has no valves. It is a positive displacement pump and will deliver against high pres-
sures. The output is a more even flow than that of a reciprocating pump. It is particularly suitable
for high viscosity fluids.
Plunger Pump Demonstration Unit - FM53

The plunger or ram pump is a positive displacement pump
and is used for pumping small quantities of liquid at high
pressures. It is similar to a piston pump except that the
sealing gland is at one end of the cylinder.
The reciprocating motion of the plunger gives an uneven
flow, although the inclusion of a damping vessel can
reduce this effect. Priming is unnecessary.

Internal Combustion Engines

Armfield’s range of internal combustion engines encompasses automotive and aviation power units, each one
mounted on a small test bed and providing a complete engine learning system.
Each system comes with our own advanced ArmSoft™ software which can be used to run the engine from a personal
computer. The software incorporates the full range of facilities as outlined in the ArmSoft™ software section, P2-3.
Axial Flow Gas TurbinE - CM14

The CM14 is a complete, aeronautical axial flow gas turbine
engine with full instrumentation and sensors measuring the gas
temperature and pressure at different stages within the engine,
together with the thrust generated and the fuel consumption.
It features simple electric starting with no requirement for
compressed air.
The turbine itself can be bench-mounted and incorporates a
transparent safety guard for full visibility. The small size minimises
the laboratory space required. The control box can be located in
an adjacent room if required.

The concepts of closed loop control, including on/off control, proportional control, proportional/integral and proportional/
integral/derivative (PID) control can be explored and demonstrated. Some units also cover both time proportioning and
analogue control of the same parameter. To demonstrate industrial control systems, two further controlling devices are
