Summary of Test Method4.1 Test specimens are measured for (total) luminous reflec-tance factor by standard color-measurement techniques using aspectrophotometer, tristimulus (filter) colorimeter, or otherreflectometer having a hemispherical o
11、ptical measuring sys-tem, such as an integrating sphere. The specular component isincluded to provide the total reflectance factor condition. Theinstrument standard is referenced to the perfect reflectingdiffuser. Luminous reflectance factor is calculated as CIEtristimulus value Y for the CIE 1964 (
12、10) standard observerand CIE standard illuminant D 65 (daylight) or F 2 (cool whitefluorescent).5. Significance and Use5.1 Acoustical materials are often used as the entire ceilingof rooms and are therefore an important component of thelighting system. The luminous reflectance of all importantcompon
13、ents must be known in order to predict the level ofillumination that will be obtained.5.2 The reflecting properties of a surface are measuredrelative to those of a standard reflector, the perfect reflectingdiffuser, to provide a reflectance factor. The luminous reflec-tance factor is calculated for
14、a standard illuminant, and astandard observer, for the standard hemispherical (integrating-sphere) geometry of illumination and viewing, in which allreflected radiation from an area of the surface is collected. Inthis way the reflecting properties of an acoustical material can1This test method is un

Measurement with integrating-sphere reflectometers has been satisfactory although multiplemeasurements may be required to sample the surface ad-equately. Instruments
18、 with other types of optical measuringsystems may be used if it can be demonstrated that theyprovide equivalent results.5.4 The use of this test method for determining the luminousreflectance factor is required by Classification E 1264.6. Apparatus6.1 ReflectometerAny spectrophotometer, tristimulus
19、(fil-ter) colorimeter, or other reflectometer having a hemisphericaloptical measuring system and allowing the measurement orcalculation of CIE 1964 (10) tristimulus value Y for standardilluminant D 65 or F 2 may be used.

Procedure7.1 Standardize and operate the instrument in accordancewith Practice E 1164 and either Test Method E 1331 or TestMethod E 1347, whichever
21、is applicable. Make the measure-ments with the specular component included.7.2 Most reflectometers compute the luminous reflectancefactor automatically; select parameters to obtain CIE Y for the1964 (10) standard observer and standard illuminant D 65 orF 2. If the computation is not automatic, calcu

23、cimen may be required to meet the tentativetolerance of 60.1 unit of Y. Compute the number of testspecimens or of multiple measurements in accordance withPractice E 1345.NOTE 1Drilled acoustical materials, which have large diameter holesof appreciable depth, have a high reflectance from the tile sur

In addition, fissured tiles and striated tiles havereflectances that depend on the angle of incidence of the light relative tothe general direction of the surface features. This test met
