It is the responsi-bility of the users to determine the applicability of this testmethod for their specific applications.1.6 Interference pigments are typically evaluated for color
9、and color appearance in a medium, such as paint or ink. Thegonioapparent effect depends strongly on the physical andchemical properties of the medium. Some of the propertiesaffecting color and color appearance include vehicle viscosity,thickness, transparency, and volume solids. As a general rule,fo
10、r quality control purposes, interference pigments are bestevaluated in a masstone product form. In some cases thisproduct form may be the final product form, or more typicallya qualified simulation of the intended product form (such as apaint drawdown) that in terms of color and appearancecorrelates
11、 to final product application.1.7 This standard does not address the requirements forcharacterizing materials containing metal flake pigments.

21、s,including abridged goniospectrometry, used to measure inter-ference pigments. Optical characterization requires color mea-surement at multiple illumination and multiple detection anglesspecified in this procedure. These sets of illumination anddetection angles are specified in the test method. Sta

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to provide color dataobtained from spectral reflectance factors at specific illumina-tion and detection angles for interference pigments. Informa-tion presented in this te
24、st method is based upon data taken onmaterials exclusively pigmented with interference pigments.5.2 These data can be used for acceptance testing, designpurposes, research, manufacturing control, and quality control.5.3 Specimens must be statistically representative of the enduse.5.4 Applicability o
25、f this test method for other materials,including combining interference pigments with absorbing andscattering pigments should be confirmed by the user.6. Environmental Conditions6.1 If the standard laboratory conditions listed belowchange during the test or from test to test by an appreciableamount,
26、 these conditions may reduce accuracy and precision ofthis test method. In some cases these effects may only beobserved during the performance of the test.6.2 Factors affecting test resultsThe following factors areknown to affect the test results.6.2.1 Extraneous radiationlight from sources other th
27、anthe illuminator(s) and any near-infrared (NIR) must be shieldedfrom entering the test apparatus.6.2.2 Vibrationsmechanical oscillations that cause com-ponents of the apparatus to move relative to one another maycause errors in test results.6.2.3 Thermal changestemperature changes occurringduring a

If the sys

The values andlimits for these factors are typically determined experiment

These multiangle spectrometers are designed spe-cifically to characterize the optical behavior of materialscolored with interference pigments.

35、 The angles of illumination and detection are critical tomultiangle measurements of materials pigmented with inter-ference pigments.8.2 Recommended Geometries:8.2.1 All geometries cited here are uniplanar.8.2.2 Geometry DesignationThe angles of illuminationand detection will be specified as illumina
36、tion anormal angle,detection anormal angle, and detection aspecular angle en-closed in parenthesis. See Practice E1767. For the example ofan illumination angle of 45 and a detection angle of -30(implying an aspecular angle of 15), the geometry should bedesignated as 45:-30 (as 15).NOTE 1For either i
37、llumination or detection, an anormal angle isdefined as the angle subtended at the point of incidence by a given ray andthe normal to the surface. An anormal angle is understood to be thesmaller of the two supplementary angles defined by the ray and thenormal. In a uniplanar geometry, a rays anormal
38、 angle has a positive signif that ray and the incident ray (illuminant ray) are on the same side of thenormal.NOTE 2The aspecular angle is the detection angle measured awayfrom the specular direction, in the illumination plane. Positive values ofthe aspecular angle are in the direction toward the il
39、lumination axis.8.2.3 For the reflectance-factor measurements of interfer-ence pigments, the instruments illumination and detectionangles shall conform to the angles as specified in Table 1.These angles are required to measure the range of colorsexhibited by interference pigments.8.2.4 For the refle
40、ctance-factor measurement of materialspigmented with metal-flake pigments and interferencepigments, additional information is provided by angles speci-fied in Table 2. These angles are used to measure the colortravel due to pigment flake-orientation effects and light scat-tering from the flake edges
41、.9. Test Specimen(s)9.1 IntroductionMeasured values depend on the quality ofthe test specimens. The specimens must be statistically repre-sentative of the lot being tested and should meet the require-ments listed below. If the specimens do not meet theserequirements, include this information in the
42、report (Section14).9.2 Specimen HandlingHandle the specimens carefully.Touch them by their edges only. Never lay the measurementsurface of the specimen down on another surface or stackspecimens without a protective medium between them asrecommended by the provider.9.3 Specimen CleaningIf necessary,
43、clean the specimensfollowing the providers recommended cleaning procedure.9.4 Specimen ConditioningAllow specimens to stabilizein the measurement environment for a time period agreed to bythe parties concerned.9.5 Specimen Physical Requirements:9.5.1 For test specimens that will be assessed visually
44、, thesize shall be at least 8 by 8 cm (approximately 3 by 3 in.). Thisspecimen size is well suited for both visual assessment andinstrumental measurement. See also 12.2.NOTE 3This recommendation for specimen size corresponds to thephysical size required for observation by the CIE 1964 Standard Obser
45、ver(10). The specimen must subtend at least 10 when being observed.Observation usually occurs at approximately 45 cm (17.7 in.) from theeye.9.5.2 The surface of the specimen should be planar.9.6 Specimen Optical Requirements:9.6.1 UniformityReference and test specimens should beuniform in color and
46、appearance. For materials pigmented withinterference or metallic pigments, measurements on differentlocations on the sample are necessary to assess the degree ofnon-uniformity. These data are also useful for determining thenumber of measurements necessary to achieve a value that isstatistically repr
47、esentative of the sample. See Practice E1345.Additionally, the samples-must be similar in appearance tomake meaningful observations. There should be no appearanceof mottling or banding in the specimens.9.6.2 GlossSpecimens should be uniform and similar ingloss when viewed in a lighting booth.9.6.3 S
48、urface TextureThe specimens being comparedshould have substantially similar surface textures. Orange peelis a common example of surface texture.9.6.4 OrientationConsistent orientation of the specimenfor presentation to the measuring instrument must be controlledfor repeatable measurements. This is n
49、ecessary to minimizeerrors due to indiscriminate matching of the directionality ofthe specimen to that of the instrument.4ISCC Technical Report 20031.TABLE 1 Specified Geometries for Measuring the Color Rangedue to InterferenceIlluminationAngleDetectionAngleAspecularAngleDesignation45 -60 -15 45:-60 (as-15)45 -30 +15 45:-30 (as15)15 -30 -15 15:-30 (as-15)15 0 +15 15:0 (as15)NoteThis table gives the minimum geometries for the quality control applica-tion.
