ASTM E1478-1997(2009) Standard Practice for Visual Color Evaluation of Transparent Sheet Materials《透明薄板材料的视觉色彩评定的标准实施规程》.pdf

1、Designation: E1478 97 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Practice forVisual Color Evaluation of Transparent Sheet Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1478; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice was developed to help its users criticallyjudge the transmitted color appearance of transparent sheet

3、materials. Its primary application is for colored flat glass andplastic materials.1.2 This practice is not meant to be used to evaluate colorsof curved, diffusing, self-luminous, or opaque materials.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its

4、use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 For the definitions of appearance terms used in thispractice, refer to Terminology E284.4. Summa

6、ry of Practice4.1 This practice describes the recommended visual proce-dure to evaluate color by transmittance of transparent sheetmaterials. The spatial relationships between the observer,materials, and light source are prescribed in order to derivegood color judgments from their interactions.5. Si

7、gnificance and Use5.1 This practice applies to production quality control andcustomer acceptance of regularly transmitting sheet materialssuch as tinted windows where visual color discrimination iscritical.6. Apparatus6.1 The apparatus shall consist of specimen holders, productcolor standards, and d

8、efined light sources.6.1.1 Specimen HoldersThese devices must hold thespecimen(s) and standard in contiguous positions, in the sameplane, so that they may be viewed, relative to the light source,for maximum color discrimination.6.1.1.1 An indoor specimen holder should be a ventilatedbox, coated with

9、 a flat white ceiling paint on its inside,containing evenly spaced fluorescent lamps with a flat, whitediffuser (glass or plastic) between them and the samples, andhave edge supports for the specimens and standards. Fig. 1 istypical, housing two Standard Cool White Fluorescent(CIEF2)4lamps.6.1.1.2 A

10、n outdoor specimen holder3should allow thespecimen and standard to be viewed contiguously in the sameplane with daylight transmitted through them. Alternatively,the transmitted light may be viewed after reflection from adiffuse colored surface, such as a carpet, to enhance colordifference. These hol

11、ders are usually large window framestructures. See Fig. 2.6.1.2 Product Color StandardsThese standards shall besimilar in shape, size, and spectral characteristics to specimensbeing evaluated for color. The observer shall use color-tolerance standards to provide an unambiguous judgment of aproducts

12、acceptable color limits.7. Test Specimen Preparation7.1 Take enough production test specimens from knownsampling positions to properly disclose the products visualcolor range. Refer to Fig. 3.7.2 Size and shape the test specimens for viewing to affordmaximum color discrimination. Prepare according t

Procedure8.1 Test a manufacturers observer(

17、s) for normal colorvision. Refer to Guide E1499.8.2 The evaluation procedure will depend upon whether thestandard and the test specimen colors are compared indoors oroutdoors, that is, upon which light source is used for the colorjudgements.8.2.1 Indoor EvaluationThe observer should be located ina d

18、arkened room such that ambient light will not distort colorjudgments by glare and colored reflections when viewing lightthrough the test specimen. Make color judgments, to avoidcolor fatigue, by quick glances at the test specimen andstandard followed by deliberate consideration of the resultingcolor

19、 impressions. Repeat this process until the viewer canmake consistent judgments. If possible exchange the testspecimen and standard in the holder followed by the sameobservation technique to confirm the viewers prior colorjudgments.8.2.2 Outdoor EvaluationThe observer should be locatedsuch that colo

20、r discrimination between the test specimen andstandards is maximized with respect to the surrounding objects,sources, and backgrounds. Make color judgements from manyviewing angles and distances which afford acute color obser-vations using the indoor evaluation viewing technique in 8.2.1.8.3 When sm

21、all color differences are involved, judgmentsby two or more observers will be necessary to determine thecolor acceptability of the test specimens.9. Report9.1 Report the following information.9.1.1 A description of the color tolerance standards used atthe color trial,9.1.2 A description by the obser

22、vers of the test specimensappearance compared to the color standards,9.1.3 A description of the light source(s) used for the colorevaluation and their intensity during the color trial,9.1.4 Identities of the observers and the location(s) ofobservation, and9.1.5 Any additional information required by

23、 the reader toensure proper communication of the test specimens colorcharacteristics. Refer to Section 8 of Practice D1729.9.2 A color photograph of the color trial may be useful if itsatisfactorily reproduces the test specimen color characteristicswhich are of concern to the observers. Alternativel

24、y, a photo-graph of the color evaluation site along with test specimensmay be used. If photography is not feasible, the author mustuse color terms which are known to be understood in thiscontext by the readers.10.
