Significance and Use4.1 Light tha
18、t is scattered upon passing through a film or sheet of a material can produce a hazy or smoky field when objectsare viewed through the material. Another effect can be veiling glare, as occurs in an automobile windshield when driving into thesun.4.2 Although haze measurements are made most commonly b
19、y the use of a hazemeter, a spectrophotometer may be used,provided that it meets the geometric and spectral requirements of Section 5. The use of a spectrophotometer for haze measurementof plastics can provide valuable diagnostic data on the origin of the haze,4and Procedure B is devoted to the use
20、of aspectrophotometer.4.2.1 Procedure A (hazemeter) test values are normally slightly higher and less variable than Procedure B (spectrophotometer)test values.4.3 Regular luminous transmittance is obtained by placing a clear specimen at some distance from the entrance port of theintegrating sphere.
21、However, when the specimen is hazy, the total hemispherical luminous transmittance must be measured byplacing the specimen at the entrance port of the sphere. The measured total hemispherical luminous transmittance will be greaterthan the regular luminous transmittance, depending on the optical prop
22、erties of the sample. With this test method, the specimenis necessarily placed at the entrance port of the sphere in order to measure haze and total hemispherical luminous transmittance.4.4 Haze data representative of the material may be obtained by avoiding heterogeneous surface or internal defects
23、 notcharacteristic of the material.4.5 Haze and luminous-transmittance data are especially useful for quality control and specification purposes.4.6 Before proceeding with this test method, reference should be made to the specification of the material being tested. Any testspecimen preparation, cond
24、itioning, dimensions, or testing parameters, or combination thereof, covered in the materialsspecification shall take precedence over those mentioned in this test method. If there are no material specifications, then the defaultconditions apply.5. Test Specimens5.1 Sampling shall be statistically ad
25、equate to ensure that the material in accordance with Practice D1898. specimens wereobtained and produced by a process in statistical control. Obtain specimens that are free of defects not characteristic of the materialunless such defects constitute variables under study.5.2 Cut each test specimen t
26、o a size large enough to cover the entrance port of the sphere.Adisk 50 mm 2 in.(2 in.) in diameter,or a square with sides of the same dimensions, is suggested. The specimen shall have substantially plane-parallel surfaces free ofdust, grease, scratches, and blemishes, and it shall be free of visibl
27、y distinct internal voids and particles, unless it is specificallydesired to measure the contribution to haze due to these imperfections.5.3 Prepare three specimens to test each sample of a given material unless specified otherwise in the applicable materialspecification.6. Conditioning6.1 Condition
28、ingUnless otherwise required in the appropriate materials specification or agreed between customer/supplier,condition the test specimens at 23 6 2C 73.4(73.4 6 3.6F3.6F) and 50 6 5%10 % relative humidity for not less than 40 hprior to test, in accordance with Procedure A of Practice D618. In case of

34、n.7.1.3 Use an integrating sphere to collect transmitted flux; the sphere may be of any diameter as long as the total port areas donot exceed 4.0 % of the internal reflecting area of the sphere. The entrance and exit ports shall be centered on the same great circleof the sphere, and there shall be a
35、t least 2.97 rad (170) of arc between centers. The exit port shall subtend an angle of 0.14 rad(8) at the center of the entrance port. With the light trap in position, without the specimen, the axis of the irradiating beam shallpass through the centers of the entrance and exit ports. For a hazemeter
36、, position the photocell or photocells on the sphere 1.576 0.17 rad (90 6 10) from the entrance port and baffle it from direct exposure to the entrance port. In the pivotable modificationwhere the interior wall adjacent to the exit port is used as the reflectance reference, the angle of rotation of
37、the sphere shall be 0.1406 0.008 rad (8.0 6 0.5).7.1.4 Illuminate the specimen by a substantially unidirectional beam; the maximum angle that any ray of this beam may makewith the beam axis shall not exceed 0.05 rad (3). This beam shall not be vignetted at either port of the sphere.7.1.5 When the sp
38、ecimen is placed against the entrance port of the integrating sphere, the angle between the perpendicular tothe specimen and a line connecting the centers of entrance and exit ports shall not exceed 0.14 rad (8).7.1.6 When the beam is unobstructed by a specimen, its cross section at the exit port sh
39、all be approximately circular, sharplydefined, and concentric within the exit port, leaving an annulus of 0.023 6 0.002 rad (1.3 6 0.1) subtended at the entrance port.NOTE 3It is important to verify whether the unobstructed-beam diameter and centering at the exit port are maintained, especially if t
40、he source apertureand focus are changed.NOTE 4The tolerance stated on the annulus of 0.002 rad (0.1) corresponds to an uncertainty of 60.6 % in a haze reading.7This is relevant forassessing the precision and bias of this test method.7.1.7 The surfaces of the interior of the integrating sphere, baffl
41、es, and reflectance standard, if used, shall be of equal reflectance,matte, and highly reflecting throughout the visible spectrum.87.1.8 A light trap shall be provided that will absorb the beam completely when no specimen is present, or the instrument designshall obviate the need for a light trap.7.
