A novel monitoring scheme to detect iron oxide particle deposits on the internal surface of PVC drinking water pipes
Artur Sass Braga, Yves Filion
Abstract
PVC pipe wall samples were acquired from a full-scale drinking water distribution laboratory using 3D printed coupons. Brightfield microscopy and imaging processing were used to investigate iron oxide particles deposited on samples surface.
