Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens are pressed into a pellet and the luminousreflectance is measured by means of a simple reflectometerfitted wi

38、th 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 deter-mination of whiteness, yellowness, and CIE7color-order val-ues, is covered.5. Signifi

39、cance 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 must be met.5.2 Whiteness is required of asbestos for use in white orpale-colored products.5.

40、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 photoelectric reflecto-meter having source, filter, and receptor characteristics suchthat

41、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 illuminator and the spectral sensitivity of thereceptor, in combination, shall provide the equ

42、ivalent 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 rad (45) from the perpendicular to the test surface;viewing shall be within 0.262 rad (15)

43、 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 do not conformexactly to the apparatus requirements. The suitability of agiven instrument

44、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 satisfactory include: theHunter Multi-purpose Reflectometer; the Gardner (Hunter)Photometric Uni

45、t 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 prepared inaccordance with Practice E 259. It is assigned a value of 100for the conditions of 0.

47、celain enamel may be obtainedfrom the National Bureau of Standards,8the Henry A. Gardner Labora-tory,9or the Photovolt Corp. Experience has shown that these secondaryreflectance standards are reasonably permanent if abrasion is avoided.Plaques stored for a year or more may develop efflorescence (blo

The height of the mold cavity may beapproximately 63 mm (2.5 in.). The piston face must bepolished. Any slight texture or presence of oxidation at thepiston face may impress a texture onto the asbestos specimen(particularly to very highly fiberized grades of asbestos), andsuch texture may affect light reflectance significantly.
