Significance and Use4.1 An important aspect of the appearance of glossy coa
16、tingsurfaces is the distinctness (clarity) of images reflected bythem. The values obtained by the measuring procedures givenin these methods generally correlate well with visual ratings forDOI (image clarity).44.2 Although Test Methods D 523 and D 4039 are useful incharacterizing some aspects of glo
17、ssy appearance, they do notprovide satisfactory ratings for DOI (image clarity).4.3 The measurement conditions given conform to theconditions specified in Test Methods E 430.4.4 The measurement conditions given in Test Methods Band C conform to the conditions specified in ISO Standard#10216.4.5 The
18、scale values obtained with the measuring proce-dures of these methods range from 0 to 100 with a value of 100representing perfect DOI (image clarity).4.6 The DOI (image clarity) scale value does not of itself,indicate any specific cause for reduction in reflected imagesharpness. Surface irregulariti
19、es such as haze, orange peel, andwrinkle, when present, may be cited as causes for reduction ofimage sharpness.5. Preparation and Selection of Test Specimens5.1 These test methods do not cover techniques for thepreparation of test specimens. Whenever preparation of testspecimens is required, use one
20、 of the procedures given inPractices D 823. Selection of specimens for measurementshould be done in accordance with Practice D 3964.6.

21、d byTask Group D 01.26.11 demonstrates the level of correlationbetween instruments currently included in these test methodsand with visual perception.4TEST METHOD A7. Apparatus7.1 Abridged Goniophotometer or Gonioreflectometer,which can be set to the beam and aperture angles indicated inTable 1.7.1.
22、1 Geometric ConditionsThe axis of the incident beamshall be 20 or 30 from the perpendicular to the specimensurface. Provisions shall be made so that receptor settings willbe at the specular angle and at an angle of 0.2 to 0.4 off thespecular angle. Suitable angular dimensions of the image of thesour
23、ce aperture and angular dimensions of the receptor aper-tures are given in Table 1.7.1.2 Spectral ConditionsThe measurement shall be madewith visible radiation (light) to give results in accordance withthe CIE spectral luminous efficiency.7.1.3 PolarizationThe incident flux shall be unpolarizedand t
24、he receptor shall be insensitive to the state of polarizationof the reflected luminous flux.8. Reference Standards8.1 Primary StandardHighly polished, planar black glasswith a refractive index of 1.567 for the Sodium D Line shall beassigned a Gsvalue of 100 on the instrument reading scale.8.2 Workin
25、g Standard (Intermediate-Scale Standard)Highly polished, planar black glass with a refractive indexclose to 1.527 may be used as a standard if its assigned valuehas been established by measurement against the primarystandard or by computation from its refractive index using theFresnel equation.8.2.1
26、 It shall be assigned a scale value of Gs= 89.4 for aspecular angle of 30, or Gs= 89.2 for a specular angle of 20.NOTE 1Each 0.01 increment in index of refraction produces a changeof approximately 3 units in the assigned scale value of polished blackglass for 20 geometry and a change of approximatel
27、y 2.5 units in theassigned scale value for 30 geometry.NOTE 2To determine the scale value, calculate the first surface(Fresnel) reflectance (see Test Method D 2457, 5.1) for nD= 1.567 and thespecular angle of interest; for 30 it is 5.0436 % and for 20 it is 4.90 %.Assign this a scale value of 100 (s
28、ee Test Method D 523, 7.1). Repeat thecalculation for nD= 1.527 and the same specular angle; the result for 30is 4.5069 % and for 20, 4.3769 %. The new scale value for 30 is100 3 (4.5069/5.0436) = 89.4, and for 20, 100 3 (4.3769/4.9078) = 89.2. (The latter figure is identical to that given in Test M

Take readings on verificationstandards whose assigned values cover the range of theinstrument scale. The readings of the verification standardsshould agree within 61 unit of
31、 their assigned values.10. Procedure10.1 Position the specimen on the instrument. Place a clampor weight on the specimen to flatten it. Take a reading, Rs,atthespecular angle. Without moving the specimen, take a reading,Ros, at a receptor angle of 0.2 to 0.4 off the specular angle.10.2 Repeat this p
32、rocedure on at least two other areas of thespecimen.10.3 Take readings on the standards at the end of the seriesof specimen readings to ensure that the instrument has re-mained in calibration throughout the operation.11.

44、value of thepolished black working standard. Read the verification stan-dards whose assigned values lie within the range of theinstrument scale. The readings of the verification standardsshould agree within 61 unit of their assigned values.17. Procedure17.1 Place the specimen to be read on a flat su

Take readings at three differentareas of the specimen surface.17.3 Take reading of the working standard at the end ofseries of specimen readings to ensure that the apparatus hasremained in calibration throu
46、ghout the operation.18. Calculation18.1 Calculate the image clarity value from the maximumand the minimum light intensities, which the photo-receivermeasures, using the following equation (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3):C 5M 2 mM 1 m3 100 (3)where:C = image clarity value, %,M = maximum light intensity, andm
47、 = minimum light intensity.18.2 When the test specimen has a completely flat andsmooth surface and the shutter is slid laterally, the reflectedimage of the slit at the sliding combed shutter passes com-pletely through the space of the comb, when the center of thecomb space coincides with the image.
48、This generates amaximum light intensity on the photo-receiver. When notcompletely flat and smooth, depending on the degree ofdispersion of the light, the image can not pass through thecomb completely, and generates a minimum light intensity.These maximum and minimum light intensities correspond toth
49、e image clarity.18.3 This calculation is performed internally by the instru-ment and a direct reading of C, the value of image clarity isprovided.19.
