(05xx2012) Construction

Purpose:

We started the lid construction by modifying pvc pipes and sanding off the edges for fitting. We followed the design as displayed below

Figure 1: Modification on the length of pvc

• First we modified the pvc by cutting the unwanted parts.

Figure 4: PVC modification

Figure 5: Sanding of PVC

• We sand the pvc to make sure not to obstruct the fitting

Figure 7: Lid Assembly

• We construct the lid  piping by joining the water piping with a joint that connects to a t-shape pvc

Figure 8: Preliminary testing of Pressure Chamber

• We test the basic function of the assembly and found that the pvc is water tight but the lid is not

Conclusion:

We have started to modifying the pvc pipe and attached it to the lid assembly. We also tested the integrity of the entire system and found that the pvc is water tight.
