1、Designation: C 609 07Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Light Reflectance Value and Small ColorDifferences Between Pieces of Ceramic Tile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 609; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of LightReflectance Value (LRV) and visually sm

3、all color differencebetween pieces of glazed or unglazed ceramic tile, using anyspectrophotometer that meets the requirements specified in thetest method. LRV and the magnitude and direction of the colordifference are expressed numerically, with sufficient accuracyfor use in product specification.1.

4、2 LRV may be measured for either solid-colored tile ortile having a multicolored, speckled, or textured surface. Fortile that are not solid-colored, an average reading should beobtained from multiple measurements taken in a patternrepresentative of the overall sample as described in 9.2 of thistest

5、method. Small color difference between tiles should onlybe measured for solid-color tiles. Small color differencebetween tile that have a multicolored, speckled, or texturedsurface, are not valid.1.3 For solid colored tile, a comparison of the test specimenand reference specimen should be made under

6、 incandescent,fluorescent and daylight illuminant conditions. The use ofmultiple illuminants allows the color difference measurementto be made without the risk of wrongly accepting a match whenthe tiles being compared are metamers.

12、 themagnitude but not the direction of color difference between thetest specimen and the reference specimen. The direction ofcolor difference depends upon the algebraic signs of thecomponents DL, Da, and Db. A positive DL value means thatthe test specimen is lighter than the reference against which

Scale L is a measure of lightness, a is a measure ofredness or greenness, and b is a measur

17、e of yellowness orblueness. The units for each of the three scales are so chosenthat they represent equally perceptible color differences. Theinterrelation of these color scales is more readily visualized ifthe scales are represented geometrically as the three mutuallyperpendicular axes of a three-d

22、material.4.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method explains the technique for measuringthe LRV and color of tile specimens with a spectrophotometricinstrument that meets the specified requirements. Such instru-ments should give results comparable to differences observedby the human eye, and yi

23、eld for each color a unique, three-number characterization, having known relationship to thetristimulus values X, Y, and Z.4.2 Spectrophotometic measurement systems commonlyprovide measurement data in a variety of color units and allowfor automatic conversion of data from one color system toanother.

24、 Select equations are included in this test method formanual determination of LRV from Y, L*or LH. Equations arealso provided for calculation of L*,a*and b*and LH,aHand bHfrom tristimulus values X, Y, Z. The algebraic differences in L,a, and b values, between any two specimens, are then used tocalcu

25、late the color difference, DE. If manual calculations arerequired, consult the instrument supplier for conversions notprovided within this test method.4.3 The complete description of the amount and direction ofa color difference between any two pieces of solid colored tilecan be given simply as the

26、three respective differences betweenthe pairs of values for L, a, and b. For some purposes, DE aloneprovides enough information, since its magnitude gives a fairlygood correlation with human opinions about the size of a colordifference.4.4 To protect against approval of a metameric color match,multi

27、ple illuminates must be used when evaluating colordifference between solid colored tiles.Atest specimen needs toprove suitable with respect to a reference specimen underincandescent, fluorescent and daylight illuminant conditions inorder to be judged as acceptable.5. Significance and Use5.1 This tes

28、t method describes the means of determining theLRV of a tile specimen. Certain building codes require the useof materials rated by LRV. Application of this test methodprovides the means for rating ceramic tile. LRVs reported forceramic tile should include reference to the observer andilluminant for

29、which the rating is valid.5.2 LRV is a property dependent on the overall color of atile specimen. Control of LRV is achieved through control ofcolor and adherence to color specifications will govern theacceptability of a product with respect to LRV. Therefore, aproduct cannot be judged as having an

30、unacceptable LRVunless the color of the product is found to be unacceptable.5.3 Mixtures of several tile products are commonly installedon a surface, requiring a means to calculate LRV for a productmix. The rating obtained for an individual tile product can beused to calculate the LRV for a product
