1、Designation: D1455 17Standard Test Method for60 Specular Gloss of Emulsion Floor Polish1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1455; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the 60specular gloss of films of emulsion floor polish after applica-tion to a substrate.NOTE 1Sp
3、ecular gloss is one of several related appearance attributesthat produce the sensation of glossiness. For this reason, specular glossmeasurements may not always correlate well with visual rankings ofglossiness.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associate
4、d with its use. It is theresponsibility 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.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles o

6、6 Test Methods for Application of Emulsion FloorPolishes to Substrates for Testing Purposes3. Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard: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
7、 reception coincides with the mirror imageof the axis of illumination.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used to evaluate the differencein gloss of dried films of emulsion floor polishes when the lightreflected at a 60 angle is measured. Extremely high- orlow-gloss polishes may not b
8、e differentiated at a 60 angle.A20 angle measured in accordance with Test Method D523may give better definition of gloss.5. Apparatus5.1 GlossmeterThe instrument and the reference stan-dards shall conform to the requirements prescribed in TestMethod D523, using an angle of reflection of 60.5.2 Floor
9、 Polish ApplicatorThe equipment for applicationof the floor polish shall conform to the requirements prescribedin Test Methods D1436.6. Substrates6.1 Two standard substrates are commonly used; however,commercial types may be used to test specific applications.Better agreement of results can be expec
10、ted when black glassis used as the substrate, except for those cases where thesample being tested produces a hazy film. Where a hazy film isproduced, black glass should not be employed as the substrate.The standard types are as follows:6.1.1 Black Glass,3,4having a highly polished plane surfacewith
11、a refractive index of 1.567.6.1.2 Offcial Vinyl Composition Tile,5new and unused.7. Procedure7.1 Apply the floor polish to the substrate in accordancewith the procedures described in Test Methods D1436. MethodA, using the automatic dip coater, can be expected to givebetter agreement of results. For
12、comparison of results, the samemethod of application must be used.7.2 Determine the specular gloss at 60 in accordance withTest Method D523.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D21 on Polishesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D21.04 on Performance Tests.Current

Report8.1 The report shall include the following:8.1.1 Average specular gloss reading at 60, and at 20 if a20 angle was used.8.1.2 Substrate used,8.1.3 Method of application of film,8.1.4 Number of coats applied,8.1.5 Pre
19、sence of any specimen where portions of testsurface differ in gloss from average by more than 5 % ofaverage,8.1.6 Name of manufacturer of gloss-meter and modeldesignation, and8.1.7 Identification of working standard or standards ofgloss used.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Readings obtained on the same ins
20、trument, using filmsdried on black glass, should be repeatable to within 2.5 % ofthe magnitude of the readings. Readings obtained on differentinstruments should be reproducible to within 5 % of themagnitude of the readings.9.2 Results obtained may be uncertain due to the cumulativeeffect of several
21、sources of error,6that is, difference betweenthe geometric distribution of flux reflected from standards andspecimens may bring about uncertainties in the measuredgloss, even though the source and receiver apertures are withinthe tolerances specified. Inaccuracy of reading may result eventhough the
22、precision of the measurement mechanism is heldwithin the tolerance specified, and lens arrangement and strayreflections from the interior walls of the instrument may causeerrors in gloss readings.10.
