Scope*1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of specificlight-transmitting and wide-angle-light-scattering properties ofplanar sections of materials such as essentially transparentplastic. Two procedures are provid

Material having a hazevalue greater than 30 % is considered diffusing and should betested in accordance with Practice

Significance and Use4.1 Light that is scattered upon passing through a film orsheet of a material can produce a hazy or smoky field whenobjects are viewed through the material. Another effect can beveiling glare, as occurs in an automobile windshield whend

16、riving into the sun.4.2 Although haze measurements are made most commonlyby the use of a hazemeter, a spectrophotometer may be used,provided that it meets the geometric and spectral requirementsof Section 5. The use of a spectrophotometer for haze mea-surement of plastics can provide valuable diagno

17、stic data onthe origin of the haze,5and Procedure B is devoted to the useof a spectrophotometer.4.2.1 Procedure A (hazemeter) test values are normallyslightly higher and less variable than Procedure B (spectropho-tometer) test values.4.3 Regular luminous transmittance is obtained by placing aclear s

18、pecimen at some distance from the entrance port of theintegrating sphere. However, when the specimen is hazy, thetotal hemispherical luminous transmittance must be measuredby placing the specimen at the entrance port of the sphere. Themeasured total hemispherical luminous transmittance will begreate

19、r than the regular luminous transmittance, depending onthe optical properties of the sample. With this test method, thespecimen is necessarily placed at the entrance port of thesphere in order to measure haze and total hemisphericalluminous transmittance.4.4 Haze data representative of the material

20、may be ob-tained by avoiding heterogeneous surface or internal defectsnot characteristic of the material.4.5 Haze and luminous-transmittance data are especiallyuseful for quality control and specification purposes.4.6 Before proceeding with this test method, referenceshould be made to the specificat

21、ion of the material being tested.Any test specimen preparation, conditioning, dimensions, ortesting parameters, or combination thereof, covered in thematerials specification shall take precedence over those men-tioned in this test method. If there are no material specifica-tions, then the default co

22、nditions apply.5. Test Specimens5.1 Sample the material in accordance with PracticeD 1898. Obtain specimens that are free of defects not charac-teristic of the material unless such defects constitute variablesunder study.5.2 Cut each test specimen to a size large enough to coverthe entrance port of

23、the sphere. A disk 50 mm 2 in. indiameter, or a square with sides of the same dimensions, issuggested. The specimen shall have substantially plane-parallelsurfaces free of dust, grease, scratches, and blemishes, and itshall be free of visibly distinct internal voids and particles,unless it is specif

24、ically desired to measure the contribution tohaze due to these imperfections.5.3 Prepare three specimens to test each sample of a givenmaterial unless specified otherwise in the applicable materialspecification.6. Conditioning6.1 ConditioningUnless otherwise required in the appro-priate materials sp

25、ecification or agreed between customer/supplier, condition the test specimens at 23 6 2C 73.4 63.6F and 50 6 5 % relative humidity for not less than 40 hprior to test, in accordance with ProcedureAof Practice D 618.In case of disagreements, the tolerances shall be 61C 1.8Fand 62 % relative humidity.

26、6.2 Test ConditionsSet up the test apparatus in an atmo-sphere maintained at 23 6 2C 73.4 6 3.6F and 50 6 5%relative humidity.7. Procedure AHazemeter7.1 Apparatus:7.1.1 The instrument used for measurement shall meet thegeometric and spectral requirements of this section.6,77.1.2 A light source and a

27、 photodetector shall be supplied,and the combination shall be filtered to provide an outputcorresponding to the luminosity response of the 1931 CIEStandard Colorimetric Observer with CIE Standard IlluminantC or, alternatively, Illuminant A. The output shall be propor-tional to within 1 % to the inci

28、dent flux over the range of fluxused. The photometric stability for source and detector must beconstant throughout the test of each specimen.7.1.3 Use an integrating sphere to collect transmitted flux;the sphere may be of any diameter as long as the total portareas do not exceed 4.0 % of the interna

29、l reflecting area of thesphere. The entrance and exit ports shall be centered on thesame great circle of the sphere, and there shall be at least 2.97rad (170) of arc between centers. The exit port shall subtendan angle of 0.14 rad (8) at the center of the entrance port. Withthe light trap in positio

30、n, without the specimen, the axis of theirradiating beam shall pass through the centers of the entranceand exit ports. For a hazemeter, position the photocell orphotocells on the sphere 1.57 6 0.17 rad (90 6 10) from theentrance port and baffle it from direct exposure to the entranceport. In the piv

31、otable modification where the interior walladjacent to the exit port is used as the reflectance reference, theangle of rotation of the sphere shall be 0.140 6 0.008 rad (8.06 0.5).7.1.4 Illuminate the specimen by a substantially unidirec-tional beam; the maximum angle that any ray of this beam mayma

32、ke with the beam axis shall not exceed 0.05 rad (3). Thisbeam shall not be vignetted at either port of the sphere.7.1.5 When the specimen is placed against the entrance portof the integrating sphere, the angle between the perpendicular5Billmeyer, F.

35、ross section at the exit port shall be approximately circular,sharply defined, and concentric within the exit port, leaving anannulus of 0.023 6 0.002 rad (1.3 6 0.1) subtended at theentrance port.NOTE 3It is important to verify whether the unobstructed-beamdiameter and centering at the exit port ar

37、he integrating sphere,baffles, and reflectance standard, if used, shall be of equalreflectance, matte, and highly reflecting throughout the visiblespectrum.97.1.8 Alight trap shall be provided that will absorb the beamcompletely when no specimen is present, or the instrumentdesign shall obviate the

38、need for a light trap.7.1.9 Aschematic drawing of the optics of a hazemeter withunidirectional illumination and diffuse viewing is shown inFig. 1.7.1.10 A series of calibrated haze standards is required forperiodic verification of the accuracy of instrumental response.Ideally, if the haze of narrow-

39、angle-scattering specimens (suchas plastic films) is to be measured, narrow-angle-scatteringglass standards should be used;6,8however, these are notknown to be commercially available. In their absence, wide-angle-plastic standards10,7may be used, but these are lesssensitive to the size and centering

40、 of the annulus described byBillmeyer and Chen5and Weidner and Hsia,9and particularattention should be paid to Note 1 when only plastic hazestandards are used.7.2 Procedure:7.2.1 Determine the following four readings:ReadingDesignationSpecimenin PositionLight Trapin PositionReflectanceStandardin Pos

43、mittancemeasurement when using a single-beam instrument, it is necessary to usea standard, calibrated with a double-beam instrument, because insertion ofthe sample in the single-beam instrument changes the efficiency of thesphere. This change may result in spuriously high readings for clear,colorles

44、s samples and significant errors for dark or highly saturated colors.In these cases, the photometer should be used as a comparison instrumentwith a standard of known transmittance similar to that of the specimen.For greatest accuracy of luminous transmittance measurement, comparethe transmittance of
