Significance and Use5.1 The test method is suitable for the development, speci-fication and quality control testing of fluorescent and non-f
17、luorescent coatings that are intended to be inspected fordefects under Specification E2501 illumination.6. Apparatus6.1 Illuminator:6.1.1 The source shall have a peak wavelength of 405 nm(61 nm), a symmetric unimodal distribution with a full widthhalf maximum of 16 nm (62 nm). The shape of the spect
18、raldistribution shall be triangular, Gaussian or isosceles trapezoi-dal where the width of the peak shall be less than one sixth thesize of the base.NOTE 1A uniform or rectangular distribution does not meet thiscondition.NOTE 2An informational appendix (Appendix X1) is provided thatbriefly summarize
19、s the reasons for the choices of tolerances in this testmethod.6.1.2 The integrated irradiance over the wavelength range490 to 760 nm shall be less than 0.01 % of the integratedirradiance over the wavelength range 380 to 760 nm.NOTE 3The light from 490 to 760 nm is typically from fluorescencegenerat
20、ed in the light source. This light is heavily weighted by theluminous efficacy function, V(), resulting in large errors in the luminanceratio measurement. The fluorescence can be eliminated with a blue-greencolored glass filter that has an internal transmittance at a referencethickness of 1 mm great
21、er than 0.90 at 405 nm and less than 0.05 acrossthe wavelength range of 500 to 680 nm.6.1.3 The source shall produce a minimum irradiance suf-ficient to ensure a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 to 1 for theluminance meter described in 6.2.NOTE 4An irradiance of 10 W/m2is typically sufficient.6.1.4 The
22、illuminated area shall be at least twice the viewingarea of the luminance meter. The minimum viewing area isspecified in 6.2.4.6.1.5 The source irradiance shall be stable to 1 % over thetime frame of the measurements.6.1.6 The illuminance on the sample surface shall be uni-form within 65 % of the av
23、erage illuminance normal to thesource. The illuminator may be collimated or not.6.2 Luminance Meter:6.2.1 The responsivity and range of the luminance metershall be sufficient so that readings of both the non-fluorescentreflectance standard and the fluorescent sample are measuredwith a resolution of
24、at least 1 part in 100.6.2.2 If the luminance meter is filter based, the spectralresponsivity of the luminance meter shall match that of the1931 CIE Standard Photopic Observer. (ISO 10527:2007(E)/CIE S 014-1/E:2006) The individual spectral mismatch correc-tion factors or the ratio of spectral mismat
25、ch correction factorswith respect to the illuminator described in 6.1 shall bedetermined for the luminance meter to at least 1 part in 100when measuring the non-fluorescent reflectance standard andthe fluorescent sample.NOTE 5The ratio of the spectral mismatch correction factors may bedetermined by
26、using a non-fluorescent reflectance standard calibratedunder the source described in 6.1 and a fluorescent sample similar to thetest sample, which are calibrated for luminance ratio under the sourcedescribed in 6.1.NOTE 6An informational appendix (Appendix X1) is provided thatbriefly summarizes the
27、method for calculating the spectral mismatchcorrection factors or the ratio of such.6.2.3 If the luminance meter is spectrally based, the out-of-band stray light rejection shall be better than 1 10-5.6.2.4 The field-of-view of the luminance meter and thedistance from the sample surface shall be such
28、 that the viewedregion shall be larger than 2.5 cm2with no dimension smallerthan 1.3 cm.NOTE 7The viewing area of the luminance meter depends on the fieldof view and the distance from the sample. The viewing area for a circularaperture is calculated by using the following equation:viewing area 5 tan
29、 v/2!d!2/cos45! (1)where:v = field of view of the luminance meter andd = distance between the luminance meter and the test sample.6.2.5 The luminance meter shall be insensitive to thepolarization of the light.6.2.6 The linearity of the luminance meter over the range ofmeasurements shall be within 1
30、%. Correction factors may beused to ensure a linear response.6.2.7 The stability of the luminance meter over the durationof the measurements shall not vary more than 1 %.6.2.8 The out-of-view sensitivity, described in CIE Publica-tion 69, of the luminance meter shall be less than 0.5 %.6.3 Non-fluor
31、escent Reflectance Standard:6.3.1 The non-fluorescent reflectance standard shall be cali-brated in a 0:45 geometry for luminous reflectance under thesource described in 6.1with an expanded uncertainty (k =2)ofless than 1 %.NOTE 8The magnitude of the luminous reflectance of the non-fluorescent reflec
32、tance standard is somewhat arbitrary, because it isnormalized to 0.25 in the calculations shown in 10.1. Typically, themagnitude of the luminous reflectance of the non-fluorescent reflectancestandard is above 0.9 in order to have a larger signal-to-noise ratio.6.3.2 The non-fluorescent reflectance s
33、tandard shall have anintegrated radiance over the wavelength range 490 to 760 nmless than 0.05 % of the integrated radiance over the wavelengthrange 380 to 760 nm under the illuminator specified in 6.1.6.3.3 The non-fluorescent reflectance standard shall producea diffuse distribution when illuminate

Calibration and Standardization8.1 The luminance meter shall be calibrated according to themanufacturers specification. The individual spectral mismatchcorrection factors or the ratio of spectral mismatch

(See Note 5.)8.2 The non-fluorescent reflectance standard shall be cali-brated as
37、 described in 6.3.1.9. Procedure9.1 Fig. 1 provides a schematic for the measurement align-ment. The measurements shall be conducted in the dark suchthat the signal measured in 9.5 is less than 1 part of the signalmeasured in 9.4.9.2 Position the illuminator described in 6.1 such that theangle betwee
38、n the direction of illumination and the normal tothe specimen surface shall not exceed 2. Position the lumi-nance meter such that the angle between the direction ofviewing and the normal to the specimen surface shall be 45 62.NOTE 9Fluorescent coatings inspected under a 405 nm illuminatorenhance def
39、ect detection through two mechanisms: (1) enhanced contrastbetween the fluorescent coating and nonfluorescent substrate; and (2)uniform coating color and brightness regardless of the viewing angle. Thesecond mechanism is important for inspecting the fluorescent coatingalong welds, in corners and on
40、edges. Under white light inspection,defects in these areas are obscured by glare and shadows. With a 405 nminspection light, dark spots are unambiguously interpreted as defects. Thiseffect is primarily responsible for the increased productivity and accuracyreported by coatings inspectors in field tr
41、ials. The luminance ratio at a 45viewing angle correlates with this property better than that at a smallerviewing angle.9.3 The distance between the luminance meter and thesample surface shall be set such that the field-of-view definesa region of interest that is over illuminated by the illuminatora
