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.

Turbidity and brightfield microscopy were used to investigate the attachment of iron oxide particles on drinking water PVC pipes. Experimental evidence motivated new insights about the physical process of particle attachment.
