Drawings

Dimensioned drawings for the bench build. Millimetres throughout, not to scale on screen.

RWL-001 — Filtration column

Vertical section through the column: four media layers, the water charge above them, the screen and valve below. The media schedule gives depth, volume and an indicative mass for each layer.

RWL-002 — Photometric rig

Plan view of the photographic setup used to measure turbidity, plus a diagram of the frame the camera should produce. Distances matter less than the fact that nothing moves once a session starts.
