ASTM F1753-1996(2010) Standard Specification for Classification and Marking of Single-Lens Scopes for Use with Archery Bows《与箭弓一起使用的单镜头观测镜分类和标记的标准规范》.pdf

1、Designation: F1753 96 (Reapproved 2010)An American National StandardStandard Specification forClassification and Marking of Single-Lens Scopes for Usewith Archery Bows1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1753; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year ofori

2、ginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year 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 specification covers lenses and scopes used inconjunction

3、 with archery bows. It establishes a standardizedsystem for the classification of these lenses in terms of theiroptical magnification, the marking of the scopes in which thelenses are mounted, and charts depicting the empirical rela-tionship of the apparent magnification the consumer can expectto ob

4、tain when a correctly marked lens is used under specificconditions.1.2 AcuityThe visual acuity of these lenses is related tothe magnification of the lens in general. For the average subjectthere can be an improvement in acuity with lenses havingapparent magnifications of 2 to 43 and a decrement in a

5、cuitywith lenses of 63 and greater.1.2.1 Acuity also is dependent on other factors, such as thespecific individual, lens quality, and the size and quality of therear aperture (peep) used in conjunction with the lens. Beyondthis statement, acuity is not the subject of this specification.1.3 The value

6、s stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 apparent magnification, napparent increase in sizeof an object as viewed through the subject lens held at aspecific distance from the users eye.2.1.2 dio

7、pter, nreciprocal of the focal length of the lens asmeasured in metres. One diopter is the rating obtained whenthe constant 1 is divided by the focal length value of a lenshaving a 1-m focal length.2.1.3 eye-to-scope distance (ETS), ndistance the (scope)lens is placed from the individuals eye when i

8、n use. If theeye-to-scope distance is measured in metres, it is specified as(ESM) and no conversion factor is required in the apparentmagnification formula. When the eye-to-scope distance ismeasured in inches, it is designated as (ESI). To calculateapparent magnification, the metres-to-inches conver

9、sion factorof 39.37 appears in the equation.2.1.4 focal length, ndistance, measured in metres, fromthe center of the subject lens to the point where incident planelight waves passing through the lens are brought to the sharpestpossible focus.2.1.5 optical magnification, ncharacteristic of a particul

10、arlens defined as the reciprocal of the lens focal length asmeasured in metres and stated in diopters.2.1.6 peep sight, nrear sighting device placed in or ontothe bow string, having a small opening in it that the archerpeers through to view the lens or scope being used as a sightingdevice. The combi

11、nation of the lens and rear peep sight used inthis manner mimics a primitive telescope.3. Classification3.1 Optical MagnificationThis is the magnifying powerof a lens as measured by the reciprocal of the focal length ofthe lens in metres. It is expressed as a practical unit in terms ofa focal length

12、 equal to one metre (the unit diopter). The largerthe diopter number, the greater the magnifying power of thelens.3.2 Apparent MagnificationThis is the apparent increasein object size one experiences when viewing the object throughone of these magnifying lenses. It is dependent on thefollowing two f

13、actors:3.2.1 The optical magnification of the scope lens as mea-sured in diopters, and3.2.2 The distance the scope is placed from the users eye.3.3 Apparent magnification is defined empirically by thefollowing relationship:Apparent magnification 5 1/1 2 D 3 ESM!

18、rsions of the chartsin Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.3.5 Classification ToleranceThe classification of lensesused in archery scopes shall be determined by measurement oftheir focal length in metres. These lenses shall be specified asa given diopter and will conform to that classification byhaving a focal length

19、 that corresponds to that diopter valuewithin 63%.4. Significance and Use4.1 This specification is intended to ensure uniform classi-fication of the lenses and the marking of scopes to avoidconfusion of the consumer, which results form the use ofdifferent classification and identification systems.4.

20、2 This specification is based on the use of the diopter thatis the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens as measured inmetres.5. Product Marking5.1 Scopes for use on archery bows shall be marked clearlyand permanently with the diopter number of the lens used inthat scope.6. Keywords6.1 archery

21、lenses; diopter; focal length; magnifying sights;scopesRATIONALEA number of manufacturers of lenses and scopes used in archery recognized the need for uniformity in specifying themagnifying power of single-lens bow scopes and contacted Subcommittee F08.16 for assistance. Various lenses were obtained

22、,tests were done to determine the actual and apparent magnification, and mathematical relationships were developed leading tothe establishment of this specification.FIG. 1 Apparent Magnification of Single-Lens ScopesF1753 96 (2010)2FIG. 2 Apparent Magnification of Single-Lens ScopesFIG. 3 Apparent M
