1、 FORD LABORATORY TEST METHODFLTM BI 109-02 Date Action Revisions Rev. 2COLOR MEASUREMENT 1. Scope and Field of Application 1.1 Scope This objective method covers an instrumental comparison of a samples color against a reference by defining measurement conditions and measurement procedures for the me

2、asurement of effect colors. The aim is to instrumentally determine those color differences between sample and reference, which are caused by materials, processing, or which arise after testing of, e.g. aging. The measurement results are similar to those of the visual perception, but visual assessmen

3、t according to Ford Laboratory Test Method BI 109-01 will always override numerical measurement data and is compulsory for any type of appearance approval. 1.2 Field of Application The application differentiates solid (uni) and effect colors and is recommended, but not limited to the following mater

4、ials: Substrate Solid Colors (uni) Effect Colors Plastic - solids with or without texture - painted, excluding effect colors - foils, sheets 0: away from illumination). 2011 10 19 Revision Interior/exterior alignment for distribution within the specific region only (most be coded different to master

5、). Reference Approval A visual approval to either a master or regional standard to validate Design Intent and verify feasibility of specific materials. 2.5 Pile-Direction Sensitive A fabric that appears different after brushing over the surface with the hand. 2.6 Reference A master or any other phys

6、ical sample that the measurement of samples is correlated to. If only compared within a sample lot, the one sample is chosen to be reference that is visually closest to the idea/vision of the evaluator. 2.7 Structure Structures are imprints or regular sewing lines that generate locally different pil

7、e heights and therefore lead to visually perceivable contrast differences. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHODFLTM BI 109-02 Copyright 2011, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Page 3 of 7 3. Requirements 3.1 General The evaluator shall be trained on the instrument to be used by either the manufacturer of the eq

8、uipment, certified dealers or by Ford personnel. 3.2 Equipment & Maintenance 3.2.1 Equipment Requirements Measurements shall be made with spectrophotometers meeting the requirements of ASTM E805 (45/0 circumferential) as well as ASTM E2194-09 & ASTM E2539-08 (multi-angle with 45 illumination). The s

9、pectral resolution of the color measuring instrument shall be 10 nm maximum, uniformly distributed over the spectral measuring range from at least 400 - 700 nm. The repeatability of measurements shall be less than 0.05 E* CIELAB units for the white CERAM Color Standards Series II (CCSSII, formerly B

The instrument has to be maintained and calibrated in accordan

13、ce with the instructions of the manufacturer of the equipment. The instrument shall NOT be calibrated NOR charged within a series of measurements. The instrument shall be calibrated at least every 8thhour and preferably just prior to the sample measurement, using the white and black calibration tile

14、s furnished by the instrument manufacturer. At regular intervals or with the 8thhour calibration measurement equipment monitoring needs to be performed and put down in a report. A green or cyan test tile is recommended for this purpose, which is usually provided by the manufacturer of the equipment

15、(alternatively, CCSSII tiles may be used). If the instrument exceeds a tolerance of 0.2 E* for the required temperature the manufacturer of the equipment or a certified dealer needs to be contacted for assistance and support.

Conditioning and Test Conditions 4.1 Conditioning of Samples Before testing all samples have to be conditioned to equilibrium at 21 2C and 50 5% RH according to SAE J1767. Textiles are considered in equilibrium after 24 h of conditioning or when the change in mass at 2

17、h intervals does not exceed 0.2%. Other materials, such as plastics, do normally require to have reached above temperature range prior to evaluation. The pile-direction sensitive fabrics have to be brushed prior to measurement: first against the pile-direction (sample appears darker), then with the

18、pile-direction (sample appears lighter). For needle punch fabrics the clean, greaseless hand can be used, while all other pile-direction sensitive fabrics require a clothbrush with polyester monofilaments of at least 20 mm length and 0.25 mm thickness. Fabrics that are not pile-direction sensitive d

19、o not need to be brushed. 4.2 Test Conditions The sample and reference shall be visually checked for inhomogeneities in texture and gloss. The surface shall be free of dust, grease, contaminations or stains. All damaged areas that are no result of specific testing methods to be evaluated (e.g. scrat

20、ch tests, etc.) need to be excluded from the measurements. If there is a defined direction of the test piece (e.g. up and down), the sample and the reference shall be measured in the same direction. For translucent materials (e.g. fabrics, etc.) the substrate shall be chosen corresponding to the sub

21、strate of the finished part. All measurement areas shall be agreed amicability between all involved and measuring parties prior to the actual measurements. 5. Measurement Procedure In general measurements shall be made, if possible, at least 1 cm from the border of the sample, homogeneously distribu

22、ted over the areas to be evaluated, on untouched areas, in the flattest areas of the part and on areas of corresponding textures and gloss levels. 5.1 Measurement of Solid colors At least four single measurements, preferably more (e.g. 10 for fabrics) shall be made with 45 rotations of the instrumen

23、t after each single measurement to calculate the average value and standard deviation. For a successful assessment, make sure to exclude faulty measurements (e.g. trends, outliers, etc.), repeat or run additional measurements if the spread of the measurement results is large (An indicative value for

24、 a large spread is a standard deviation larger than E* = 0.15. Note: A spread in the measurement values can be the result of actual variations in gloss and color throughout the part.), study any other measuring results only after the measurement. 5.2 Measurement of Effect colors The illumination dir

25、ection of the measurement device has to be the same as the paint application direction. FORD LABORATORY TEST METHODFLTM BI 109-02 Copyright 2011, Ford Global Technologies, Inc.

29、 the appropriate color difference Eeff() shall be calculated in accordance with DIN 6175-2 for D65illumination, 10 standard observer for each measurement angle . In addition the root mean square (RMS) of the Eeff()-values for the 5 angles = 15 - 110 shall be calculated as the overall color differenc

30、e ERMS 15-110. Solid colored exterior paints only require the calculation for 45as45 solely. 6.4 Metamerism The metamerism indices MD65/Aand MD65/F11respectively shall be calculated for A and F11 illumination in reference to D65illumination, 10 standard observer, in accordance with ISO/CIE 23603 for

31、 either 45/0 circumferential or 45as45 geometry. 6.5 Result If the samples are referenced to a master and the measurement values - pass the agreed tolerances the result is approved INSTRUMENTALLY - fail the agreed tolerances the result is NOT approved INSTRUMENTALLY If the samples are NOT referenced

32、 to a master the result shall be evaluated according to the Ford method FLTM BI 109-01. 7 Report The test report shall include: 7.1 Identification a. for references & samples separately Name / Color, Application, D C C Code, Manufacturer, Technology, Material, Ident-#, Date issued FORD LABORATORY TE
