3、 reflecting diffuser. This idealreflecting surface reflects 100 % of the incident radiant power such that the radiance is the same forall directions within the hemisphere above the surface. No physical realization of this standard exists.Optical properties of standards prepared from pressed plaques

4、of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3),barium sulfate (BaSO4), or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can approximate an ideal standard. Forfurther information see CIE Publication No. 46 (1).2The principal use of a white reflectance factorstandard is to transfer an absolute scale of reflectance to a more durable

5、 material or from oneinstrument to another. In theory, it should be easy to do this transfer from first principles. In practice,one is likely to need values for parameters that are unknown, proprietary, or require a high level ofskill. Some, but not all, of those parameters are discussed in this pra

6、ctice.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures for preparing pressedpowder transfer standards. These standards can be used in thenear-ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared region of the electro-magnetic spectrum. Procedures for calibrating the reflectancefactor of materials on an absolute basis

7、are contained in CIEPublication No. 44 (2). Pressed powder standards are used astransfer standards for such calibrations because they have ahigh reflectance factor that is nearly constant with wavelength,and because the geometric distribution of reflected flux re-sembles that from the perfect reflec

The values in parentheses are for information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Practice4.1 Procedures are given for the preparation of whitereference standards of diffuse reflectance factor and diffuserad

16、iance factor. The recommended materials are white powdersthat are pressed into plaques. These plaques provide closeapproximations to the optical properties of the perfect reflect-ing diffuser, and may be used to transfer a scale of absolutereflectance to another material or to an instrument.5. Signi

17、ficance and Use5.1 All commercial reflectometers measure relative reflec-tance. The instrument reading is the reflectance factor, the ratioof the light reflected by a reference specimen to that reflectedby a test specimen. That ratio is dependent on specificinstrument parameters.5.2 National standar

18、dizing laboratories and some researchlaboratories measure reflectance on instruments calibratedfrom basic principles, thereby establishing a scale of absolutereflectance as described in CIE Publication No. 44 (2). Thesemeasurements are sufficiently difficult that they are usually leftto laboratories

19、 that specialize in them.5.3 A standard that has been measured on an absolute scalecould be used to transfer that scale to a reflectometer. Whilesuch procedures exist, the constraints placed on the mechanicalproperties restrict the suitability of some optical properties,especially those properties r

20、elated to the geometric distributionof the reflected light. Thus, reflectance factor standards whichare sufficiently rugged and able to be cleaned, depart consid-erably from the perfect diffuser in the geometric distribution ofreflected radiance.5.4 The geometric distribution of reflected radiance f

21、rom apressed powder plaque is sufficiently diffuse to provide adependable calibration of a directional-hemispherical reflecto-meter. Although pressed powder standards are subject tocontamination and breakage, the directional-hemispherical re-flectance factor of pressed powder standards can be suffic

22、ientlyreproducible from specimen to specimen made from a given lotof powder, so as to allow one to assign absolute reflectancefactor values to all the powder in a lot.5.5 This practice describes how to prepare white reflectancefactor standards from a powder in a manner that allows astandardizing lab

23、oratory to assign the absolute scale of reflec-tance to the plaque.6. Apparatus6.1 The basic apparatus for producing a pressed powderstandard includes a powder press, powder containers and abalance. There are currently two commercial suppliers ofpowder presses. The press and receptacles can also be

24、made ina local machine shop. A suggested configuration is shown inFig. 1. The optical surface of the plaque should be pressedagainst a surface of ground glass or poly(methyl methacrylate)to provide a matte finish on the pressed plaque. Powderreceptacles should be at least 5 mm deep for BaSO4and at l

25、east10 mm deep for PTFE.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Barium Sulfatethe barium sulfate should be of thehighest purity. It should be specially refined for optical andspectroscopic use (3).7.2 Polytetrafluoroethylenethe PTFE (4) should also bespecially refined for optical and spectroscopic use but some

26、commercial grades have been found to be acceptable substi-tutes. (5) Large quantities (drums) of commercial grade PTFEcan be obtained from manufacturers.8. Procedure8.1 Store all powdered reflectance standards in tightlycapped glass containers. If the powder is purchased in plasticcontainers, transf

27、er it to a glass container as soon as possible.Before using the powder, place it in a glass blender equippedwith stainless-steel or PTFE-coated blades and pulverize to auniform consistency. Transfer the quantity of powder to beused with stainless steel or PTFE-coated spoons. Perform thewhole operati

28、on in a draft-free location, away from sources ofsmall particulate contamination, filters, sweaters, windows,ovens, etc. Perform all measurements (weight, height, width,depth, volume, area, etc.) with adequate precision to ensurethat the final density is within 5 % of the specified value. Themost re

29、producible standards are made by pressing the powderto a specific density. Thus, determine the mass of the powder tobe used from the volume of the receptacle.8.2 Barium SulfatePress BaSO4to a density of 2000kg/m3(2.0 gm/cm3) and a thickness of at least 5 mm. Pressseveral specimens in succession. Sel

Somesuppliers of BaSO4provide calibration values with each bottleof powder, other suppliers provide only 3 or 4 quality referencechecks and a reference to p

Table 1 gives the 6/diffuse reflectance factor values for EastmanWhite ReflectanceStandard (3).8.2.1 Another description of this procedure is found in Ref.(4).NOTE 1The collar and receptacle should be securely held in placebefore pressi

Prepare several specimens insuccession. Matche

33、d pairs are selected to be representative ofthe contents of the container of powder. Keep the pressedplaques in a desiccator when not in use. PTFE has a highdielectric constant and can be very sensitive to airborneparticulates. Such contamination can make the material slightlyfluorescent and reduce

34、its reflectance in the near-ultravioletspectral region. Table 2 lists the 6/diffuse reflectance factorvalues (6) and Table 3 lists the 45/0 reflectance factor values(7) of PTFE as determined by the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST).9. Precision and Bias9.1 The National Institute o

35、f Standards and Technology andthe Inter-Society Color Council Project Committee 22, Mate-rials for Instrument Calibration, have carried out collaborativetests to determine the precision and bias of the preparation ofPTFE reflectance factor standards (8). The standard deviationof three determinations

36、 of the reflectance factor of PTFE by theNISTranged from 0.0002 to 0.0008 over the spectral range 300to 1000 nm. The measured reflectances of PTFE from twomanufacturers exhibited differences of from 0.002 to +0.004over the same range with the largest differences near the endsof the range and a const

37、ant measurement uncertainty of6 0.005. From the 9 laboratories participating in the round-robin experiment, 17 specimens were returned.
