22、mary of Test Method4.1 The differences in color between a reference and testspecimen are determined with a spectrophotometer or colorim-eter. Reflectance readings are made which in turn are convertedby computations to color-scale values. These reflectance read-ings may be automatically converted and
23、 computed by acomputer with the appropriate software program connected tothe spectrophotometer or colorimeter.4.2 Specimens are heat aged at 140 6 5F (60 6 3C) forseven days.4.3 Specimens are exposed to ultraviolet light for 48 h.5. Significance and Use5.1 Certain substances in adhesives may cause d
24、iscolorationof vinyl flooring. This test method provides a means ofmeasuring the discolorations that may occur in the vinyl as aresult of contact with these adhesives. Vinyl flooring speci-mens, either contacting or not contacting the adhesive, areexposed to heat and UVA light to accelerate discolor
25、ation. Bymeans of colorimeter or spectrophotometer, color differencesbetween exposed specimens are accurately measured. There-fore, instrumental evaluation rather than personal subjectiveevaluation is used to determine the amount of discoloration anadhesive may produce in vinyl flooring. This test m
26、ethod doesnot attempt to simulate or duplicate the heat and sunlightconditions that may impact vinyl floor coverings while inservice.6.

Procedure9.1 Cut specimens of flooring as described in Section 8.9.2 Place the specimen identification number at the top o
33、fthe back side of each specimen. Use a sharp pencil to minimizethe possibility of smearing other specimens in the course oftesting.9.3 On the face side of each specimen, mark a circular areaof the lightest, smoothest, unpatterned section of flooring (see8.2).Again, use a sharp pencil to avoid smeari
34、ng or marring thespecimen. The designated area shall be a minimum of18 in. (3mm) larger than the 1.0-in. (25-mm) or smaller viewport of thecolorimeter or spectrophotometer.9.4 Calibrate the colorimeter or spectrophotometer accord-ing to the manufacturers recommendations. Take initial L*, a*,b*readin
35、gs on all specimens by means of the calibratedcolorimeter or spectrophotometer (Test Methods E1347 andE1349). Use D65 illuminant or equivalent. Position eachspecimen to read the encircled area. Record all readings in theCIELAB Color-Scale System.9.5 Record all initial and subsequent readings on the
36、pre-pared chart (Fig. 1).9.6 Wrap the control specimens in aluminum foil after theinitial readings.9.7 Place each set of three specimens for adhesive evalua-tion on a flat surface side by side with the wear surface down.Leave an approximate12-in. (13-mm) space between thespecimens. The larger dimens
37、ion of each specimen should liein the same direction that the adhesive will be applied. Tape theleading edge of each specimen to the flat surface beneath.Using a spatula, apply the adhesive on the leading edge of eachof the three specimens, making certain that the entire width ofeach specimen is cov
38、ered with adhesive. Using the threaded-rod applicator, spread the adhesive evenly and simultaneouslyon the three specimens. Clean the rod thoroughly after eachapplication to prevent cross-contamination of adhesives.9.8 Allow all specimens to air-dry 24 h at room temperature.9.9 Wrap each specimen in
39、 aluminum foil to prevent anycross-contamination or degradation from exposure to light.9.10 Place control and adhesive specimens in a cleancontainer in such a manner that air can circulate between thespecimens. Condition in the recirculating oven for seven daysat 140 6 5F (60 6 3C). Maintain the wra
40、pped visualspecimen at room temperature.9.11 After seven days, remove specimens from the oven andcondition them to room temperature for approximately 2 h.9.12 Unwrap and place each specimen in the specimenholder with the wear surface showing through the specimen-holder window. Place all specimens in
41、 a fluorescent UV-condensation-type apparatus (see 6.5) that meets the require-ments of Practice G53, and is equipped with UVA-351 lamps.Program the unit for UV exposure only (no exposure tocondensation) at a temperature of 140 6 5F (60 6 3C) for 48continuous hours. Do not use the two outside positi
42、ons oneither side of the racks when placing the specimen holders inthe cabinet. Be certain that the specimen-holder window facesthe UV lights. Maintain the light as specified in Practice G53.9.13 After UV exposure, carefully remove the specimensand wrap them in foil until they are reread on the colo
43、rimeteror spectrophotometer.9.14 Allow specimens to condition approximately2hatroom temperature before rereading.9.15 For each specimen, unwrap, reread and record the finalset of L*, a*, b*values. Record the DL*, Da*, Db*, and DE*abvalues.9.16 Make a visual evaluation at the conclusion of this testp
44、rocedure. The visual evaluations are to be used as cross-checks of the numerical evaluations, and it is expected that onewill substantiate the other.10. Calculation10.1 See Fig. 1.10.2 If each DL*, Da*, and Db*value was not obtaineddirectly from a computer connected to the colorimeter orspectrophoto
