Terminology3.1 Definition:3.1.1 specular glossthe ratio of reflected to incident light,times 1000, for specified apertures of illumination and recep-tion when the axis of reception coincides with the mirror imageof the ax
5、is of illumination.34. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means of establishingspecular gloss limits for bright, semi-mat, and mat glazedsurfaces. It is realized that specular gloss measurements do notalways correlate well with visual rankings of glossiness be-cause specular gloss i
6、s only one of several related appearanceattributes that produce the sensation of gloss. However, theprescribed test method is of sufficient accuracy for the intendedpurpose.NOTE 1If a greater degree of distinction between bright glazedsurfaces is desired, the 20 geometry instrument will provide it.4
7、5. Apparatus5.1 Instrumental ComponentsThe apparatus shall consistof an incandescent light source and lens furnishing an incidentbeam of rays of required aperture, means for locating thesurface of the specimen, and a receptor located to receive therequired pyramid of rays reflected from the specimen
8、. Thereceptor shall be a photosensitive device having maximumresponse near the middle of the visible region of the specimen.5.2 Geometric ConditionsThe axis of the incident beamshall be 60 from the perpendicular to the specimen surface.The axis of the receptor beam shall be coincident with themirror
9、 image of the axis of the incident beam. A flat piece ofpolished black glass in the specimen position shall form animage of the source in the center of the receptor window. Thelength of the illuminated area of the specimen shall be equal tonot more than one third the distance from the center of this
10、 areato the receptor field stop. The axis of the incident beam and theaxis of the receptor shall be within 0.1 of the nominal valueindicated by the geometry. The dimensions and tolerances ofthe source and receptor shall be as indicated in Table 1 (seealso Test Method D 523). The angular dimensions o
11、f thereceptor field stop are measured from the receptor lens in acollimated-beam type instrument, and from the test surface ina converging-beam type instrument. See Fig. 1 for a general-ized illustration of the dimensions. The tolerances are chosenso that errors of no more than one gloss unit at any
