Fundamental Fluids FM1000

Our Fundamental Fluids kit is designed to meet the needs of those studying fluid mechanics principles at MODULE 2.0
college and university level. The system is supplied with a series of learning apparatus (see outlined on the
following pages), hoses with robust gaskets and a rugged metal workstation. The system can be packed away
MODULE 2.0
and stored when not in use. Each of the apparatus is attached within the workstation and two protective covers
are attached to the front and back to offer protection. The flow pipes drop down into the unit and the viscosity
apparatus attaches to the top of the workstation to create one compact storable unit. This kit provides nine
individual experiments in total. MODULE 3.0

MODULE 3.0

The study of fluid mechanics is essential for aerospace technician training. The
Fundamental Fluids training kit from Matrix provides a hands-on understanding of MODULE 4.0
the key principles for aerospace technicians. A main workstation is supplied along
MODULE 4.0
with sixteen individual components, which allows students to build nine different
experiments. Six of the experiments are connected via USB to the pressure and flow
sensors, which allows results to be automatically plotted on a graph for analysis.
Results from the remaining three experiments are plotted manually. Students will MODULE 5.0
learn about fluid mechanics principles including viscosity and Bernoulli’s theorem,
MODULE 5.0
which are specifically outlined as part of EASA module 2.0.
A full free curriculum is provided with easy-to-follow worksheets. MODULE 8.0
