2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in February 2012.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of color,whiteness, and ye

3、llowness of asbestos by means of a photo-electric reflectometer.1.2 The test method is applicable to all grades and varietiesof homogeneous milled asbestos.1.3 This test method may be applied to samples that are notdry or homogeneous, or that contain impurities or adulterants.However, in such cases,

4、 results may not be comparable withthose obtained on clean dry samples.1.4 To obtain similar results from spectrophotometers, seeTest Method E308.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact eq

5、uivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.6 WarningBreathing of asbestos dust is hazardous.Asbestos and asbestos products present demonstrated healthrisks for users and for those wi

6、th whom they come into contact.In addition to other precautions, when working with asbestos-cement products, minimize the dust that results. For informa-tion on the safe use of chrysotile asbestos, refer to “Safe Use ofChrysotile: A Manual of Preventive and Control Measures.”21.7 This standard does

7、not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

35、he wholevisible spectrum. Other terms used for this property are“lightness” or“ luminous apparent reflectance.” The concept ofwhiteness is not only applicable to near-white surfaces but alsoto dark and colored surfaces. Whiteness may be defined as thegrading which an observer would assign to the sur

37、the same degree of whiteness on the gray scale as agray asbestos. It is thus necessary to measure an index ofyellowness for such cases, and this may be calculated arbi-trarily from reflectance measurements using tristimulus filters.Use the following relationship for asbestos:yellowness factor 5 A 2

38、B!/G (1)where:A = reflectance with the amber tristimulus filter,6B = reflectance with the blue tristimulus filter, andG = reflectance with the green tristimulus filter.3.1.42 For terms relating to asbestos fibers, refer to Termi-nology D2946.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens are pressed into a

39、pellet and the luminousreflectance is measured by means of a simple reflectometerfitted with an incandescent source, and a photoelectric reflec-tometer.4.2 Instructions are included for use of the suppressed zerotechnique to improve precision.4.3 The use of tristimulus color filters permitting the d

40、eter-mination of whiteness, yellowness, and CIE8color-order val-ues, is covered.5. Significance and Use5.1 The color of asbestos is of commercial significancewhen it is to be incorporated into products, the color of whichis affected by the color of the asbestos, and for which colorspecifications mus

41、t be met.5.2 Whiteness is required of asbestos for use in white orpale-colored products.5.3 Yellowness is significant in asbestos for use in pastel-colored products where discolored asbestos may prevent at-tainment of certain shades and hues detector.6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus shall consist of a

42、photoelectric reflecto-meter having source, filter, and receptor characteristics suchthat it will measure reflectance accurately to within 1.0 % offull-scale reading. The reflectometer shall have the followingcharacteristics:6.1.1 Spectral CharacteristicsThe spectral energy distri-bution of the illu

43、minator and the spectral sensitivity of thereceptor, in combination, shall provide the equivalent ofillumination by CIE standard source C and observation by theCIE standard observer.6.1.2 Geometric CharacteristicsIllumination shall bewithin 0.0698 rad (4) of, and centered about, a direction of0.785

44、rad (45) from the perpendicular to the test surface;viewing shall be within 0.262 rad (15) of, and centered about,the perpendicular (Note 1).6.1.3 Any instrument that meets the apparatus specificationsand the precision requirements stated in Section 13 may beused. In general, commercial instruments

45、do not conformexactly to the apparatus requirements. The suitability of agiven instrument depends in large measure on its response tothe spectral selectivity range of asbestos, and on the availabil-ity of standards of similar reflectance and spectral character.Instruments that have been found satisf

46、actory include: theHunter Multi-purpose Reflectometer; the Gardner (Hunter)Photometric Unit with 0.785 rad, 0 rad (45, 0) reflectancehead; and the General Electric Reflection Meter.6.2 Standards:6.2.1 Primary StandardThe primary standard for reflec-tance measurements is a layer of MgO freshly prepar

47、ed inaccordance with Practice E259. It is assigned a value of 100 forthe conditions of 0.785 rad (45) illumination and perpendicu-lar view (Note 1).6.2.2 Secondary StandardsPorcelain enameled metalplaques or other materials known to be reasonably permanentin reflectance, and of uniform surface, may

48、be calibrated andused as secondary reflectance standards.NOTE 2Secondary standards of porcelain enamel may be obtainedfrom the National Bureau of Standards,9the Henry A. Gardner Labora-tory,10or the Photovolt Corp. Experience has shown that these secondaryreflectance standards are reasonably permane

49、nt if abrasion is avoided.Plaques stored for a year or more may develop efflorescence (bloom)noticeable on black plaques, which can be removed by washing with mildsoluble soap and water.6.2.3 Standards with reflectance values as close as possibleto the values of the unknowns are recommended.6.3 Tristimulus Filters,7including amber, blue, and green,to fit the reflectometer source and detector.6.4 Piston and Cylinder Mold, for pressing the asbestosspecimens into pell
