Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe internationally accepted standard of reflectance

3、 is the perfect 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 p

4、ressed plaques 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

5、 a more durable 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 discus

6、sed in this practice.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

7、absolute basis 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

8、 perfect reflecting diffuser.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of t

9、his standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Practice4.1 Procedures are given for the preparation of whitereference standards of diffuse

16、reflectance factor and diffuseradiance 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 mate

17、rial or to an instrument.5. Significance 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 specificinstrumen

18、t parameters.5.2 National standardizing 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 the

19、y are usually leftto laboratories 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 propert

20、ies,especially those properties related 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 dis

21、tribution of reflected radiance from 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 press

22、ed powder standards can be sufficientlyreproducible 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 mann

23、er that allows astandardizing laboratory 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 p

24、ress and receptacles can also be 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

25、least 5 mm deep for BaSO4and at least10 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 optic

26、al and spectroscopic use but somecommercial 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 purch

27、ased in plasticcontainers, transfer 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

28、 spoons. Perform thewhole operation 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 % o

29、f the specified value. Themost reproducible 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. Presssev

Somesuppliers of BaSO4provide calibration values with each bottleof powder, other suppliers provide only 3 or 4 quality ref

31、erencechecks and a reference to published values of referenceNOTE 1The collar and receptacle should be securely held in placebefore pressing the powder.FIG. 1 Example Powder PressE259 06 (2011)2standards prepared from the powder.

Prepa

33、re several specimens insuccession. Matched 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

34、 material slightlyfluorescent and reduce 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. Preci

35、sion and Bias9.1 The National Institute of 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

36、standard deviationof three determinations 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 differen

37、ces near the endsof the range and a constant measurement uncertainty of60.005. From the 9 laboratories participating in the round-robin experiment, 17 specimens were returned. The results areshown in Table 4 for the wavelength range 300 to 1000 nm.9.2 The National Institute of Standards and Technolo

38、gycarried out collaborative tests to determine the uncertainties inthe preparation of PTFE for use as transfer standards ofreflectance factor for the 45/0 geometry. Duplicate pressingswere made of the same PTFE in ten different laboratories. Thestandard deviations of the measured reflectance factor,

39、 as afunction of wavelength is shown in Table 5. Table 6 shows themeasured reflectance factors, averages, and standard deviationsof four different drums of PTFE. The total uncertainty for thetransfer is approximately 1 % at wavelengths above 500 nmand approximately 1.5 % at wavelengths below 500 nm
