1、Designation: E3040 16Standard Practice forEvaluation of Instrumental Color Difference with a GrayScale1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3040; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revi

2、sion. 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 Test Method D2616 describes a painted gray scale andthe procedure to be used in the visual evaluation of colordifferences on no

3、n-self-luminous materials by comparison tothis scale. This practice provides an alternative method ofobtaining a similarly valued result by an instrumental method.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard, except that

4、the test results of this test method areconverted by the calculations to an arbitrary visual scaledefined by Test Method D2616, whose units are called GSC(Gray Scale for Change in Color).1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is t

5、heresponsibility 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.

10、n.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The color of a specimen that has been submitted to a testwhose severity is evaluated by change in color, and an identicaluntreated specimen, are measured spectrophotometrically andboth of their colors evaluated by conventional means. Theconventional color difference at

Significance and Use5.1 The gray scale grade GSCis useful to evaluate the colordifference of any pair of colors that have been subjected to atest whose severity of result is

16、nominated by color difference ofthe treated member to the untreated member. This includes, butis not limited to, scrub tests, exterior exposures, crocking tests,blocking tests, certain abrasion tests, and color transfer tests.5.2 A major advantage of the instrumental method ofobtaining gray scale gr

17、ades is that under the visual methodsubstantial screening and training of the operators in visualcolor assessment is required. No such burden is placed on theoperators in this instrumental method.5.3 The method is usually not used for staining tests whichhave their own gray scale for staining.6. App

18、aratus6.1 Spectrophotometer, having one of the three qualifiedgeometries that are listed in Practice E1164. These geometriesinclude: bidirectional (more familiarly called 0/45 or 45/0),or hemispherical specular included, or hemispherical specularexcluded geometries.6.2 In the absence of any reason f

19、or choosing one over theother, hemispherical specular included geometry is most ap-propriate for the type of measurements that are made inconnection with this standard.7. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 The specimen pairs used in this practice are nearlyalways a pair of identical specime

20、ns where one member of thepair has been subjected to a test whose severity of result maybe quantified by a change in color.7.2 The practice is based upon a visual method D2616 ofassessing the degree of this color change. The precision of thevisual method is such that the gray scale grade is reported

21、 tothe nearest half-unit on a scale of five to one. This method isdesigned to emulate the results of Test Method D2616 and assuch is reported in these same half-units.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Maintain the spectrophotometer in a state of calibration.Standardize the spectrophotometer in a

22、ccordance with themanufacturers instructions, or follow the standardization prac-tices of Practice E1164.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the color of the reference specimen and calcu-late the CIELAB L*, a*, b*, C* and h values using the data forthe 10 observer and for illuminant D65.9.2 Measure the color of

23、 the test specimen which has beensubjected to the colorfastness test and make the same colori-metric calculations as done for the reference specimen. Thenmake the calculations as described in Annex A1.10. Calculation or Interpretation of Results10.1 Acomplete description of the calculations, the sym

24、bolsand subscripts used in them, is given in Annex A1 of thismethod.10.2 The results of the method derive GSCvalues that are inhalf-steps between five and a value of unity. These values forma scale of discrete steps. An alternative continuous scale inTable A1.1 is equivalent and may be used at the u

25、sers option.The rounded value GSCmay be used as an index in theleft-hand column to look-up the equivalent alternative continu-ous value in the right-hand column.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 A complete description of the test pair and thetreatment being evaluated by the dest

26、ructive test;11.1.2 The calculated value of GSCcalculated in connectionwith this sample pair;11.1.3 The make, model, and serial number of the spectro-photometer used to make the spectral measurements, and thegeometry of the instrument, bidirectional or hemispherical. Ifthe geometry is hemispherical,

27、 state whether specular includedor specular excluded mode was employed;11.1.4 Astatement that D65 and the 10 Observer were usedto calculate the conventional colorimetric values, or, if acustom illuminant-observer was employed, which one, and ajustification for that deviation from the standard method

28、.12. Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionThe practice does not in itself contribute touncertainty of measurement, but rather converts the scale of theresult, and with it the certainty, from that of CIELAB to GSC.12.2 BiasNo information can be provided about the biasof the test method for measuring GSCbe
