Summary of Test Method4.1 Color measurements are made on duplicate s

17、pecimensthat have been prepared as directed in the specification for thatmaterial. Examples of specifications are: D4302, D5067,D5098, D5724, and D6901. Each contains colorants in adifferent vehicle. The measurements are recorded for compari-son with readings made after the specimens have been ex-po

18、sed.4.2 Lightfastness is determined by exposing the specimensto daylight filtered through glass outdoors either in southernFlorida or in Arizona and also to xenon arc radiation through awindow glass filter.4.3 The colorants are classified by the amount of colorchange calculated as DE* units in accor

19、dance with PracticeD2244.4.4 Variations in test results can be due to differences inspecimen preparation, surface irregularities, color measure-ments and conditions of exposure. Allowance for these varia-tions is made by assigning a wide range of color change n eachof the five lightfastness categori

20、es. Colorants are placed in oneof these categories based on the mean of the DE* valuesobtained from two or more types of exposure. Only colorantsthat place in the first two categories conform to the require-ments of this standard.5. Significance and Use5.1 The retention of chromatic properties by a

21、colorant overa long period of years is essential in a work of art. Acceleratedexposure simulates color changes that may reasonably beexpected. The producer and the user of artists materials,therefore, can be apprised of suitable colorants.5.2 Variations in results may be expected between the testmet

22、hods.Also, some variation may be expected when the sametest is repeated. Variations in Methods A and B are due todifferences in outdoor conditions that are not accounted for intesting to equivalent radiant exposures. Information on sourcesof variability and strategies for addressing variability in l

23、abo-ratory accelerated exposure tests is found in Guide G141.5.3 This standard does not cover factors other than light-fastness that can affect the permanence of art materials.6. Apparatus6.1 Outdoor Exposure Facilities as described in PracticeG24, using an exposure angle of 45, facing the equator.6

24、.2 Xenon-Arc Lightfastness Apparatus as described inPractice G155.6.3 Spectrophotometer, abridged spectrophotometer orcolorimeter capable of excluding specular reflectance in itsmeasurement.7. Procedure7.1 Prepare seven specimens of the art materials to betested, following the directions given in th

25、e appropriate speci-fication. If there is no specification for the art material, sevenspecimens must be prepared that are as similar, uniform, andopaque as possible.7.1.1 Two specimens of each color shall be exposed in eachof two test methods, either A or B and either C or D. Onespecimen of each col

26、or shall be retained for a visual compari-son with the test specimens following exposure, and twospecimens shall be retained for use in a third exposure ifneeded.7.1.2 The retained, unexposed specimens are stored in thedark unless the formulation contains oil. Store specimens thatcontain oil in a li

27、ght level of 500 to 700 lux (50 to 75 fc) toprevent yellowing. If specimens must be stored for as long as100 days, store all specimens in the dark, but remove thosecontaining oil and place in the light level specified above toprevent yellowing for at least 7 days before measurement orvisual evaluati

28、on.7.1.3 Cut the specimen to a size that will fit the holder to beused for exposure and the port of the color measuring instru-ment.7.1.4 Determine if test specimens are opaque. Colors mixedwith white, as described in the specifications for artists paints,are opaque. Other materials must be applied

29、over both a blacksubstrate and a white substrate to determine opacity. Anymeasured color difference between the color over black andover white indicates a lack of opacity.7.1.4.1 A measurement representative of the whole speci-men must be obtained if the specimen is not opaque. To get arepresentativ

30、e measure of the color, both before and afterexposure. either (1) use a large measuring port of 25 mm (1 in.)diameter, or (2) using a small port, obtain the mean of a numberof measurements of various areas of the specimens, andcompare it with the mean of a second set of measurements ofdifferent area

31、s. If the means agree, use that value as therepresentative color. Otherwise, repeat the procedure untilagreement is obtained.7.2 Immediately before exposure, measure all test speci-mens using a spectrophotometer or spectrocolorimeter (seeTest Method E1348 or E1349) or colorimeter (see Test MethodE13

32、47) using Illuminant D65 and the 1964 10 Observer andexcluding specular reflection from the measurement. Recordthe CIELAB measurement data.7.2.1 Measure specimen panels with any brush marks in thesame direction and measure the same area of the panel beforeand after each exposure interval. If the des

33、ign of the instrumentallows, three readings at different locations on the panel shouldbe made and the mean calculated. If feasible, mark on the backof the specimen the spot(s) measured, and remeasure thesesame spots following exposure.7.3 Expose duplicate specimens in each of two test meth-ods, outd

39、ve HumidityThis method will gener-ally have a low relative humidity.7.3.3.1 Use a xenon-arc device that conforms to the require-ments defined in Practices G151 and G155. Unless otherwisespecified, the spectral power distribution of the xenon-arc shallconform to the requirements in Practice G155 for

40、xenon arcradiation through a window glass filter.(a) Place specimens in the test device in positions thatconform with specifications in Practice G151 or use theprocedures described in this practice that either ensure equalradiant exposure on all specimens or compensate for irradiancedifferences with

41、in the exposure chamber. To assure equalradiant exposure it may be necessary to reposition specimensduring exposure.7.3.3.2 Unless agreed otherwise, set the irradiance at thecontrol point to 0.35 6 0.02 at 340 nm and expose specimensto 100 % light to reach a total radiant exposure of 510kJ/(m2nm) at

42、 340 nm, the equivalent to 1260 MJ/m2of totalsolar radiation. For a xenon-arc device that controls exposureat 300 to 800 nm, set the irradiance at the control point to 500W/m2and expose to 100 % light to reach a total radiantexposure of 739 MJ/m2at 300 to 800 nm. For xenon arcdevices that control ex

43、posures in a different spectral region,consult the manufacturer of the device for the irradiance andradiant exposure required to produce equivalent test results.7.3.3.3 The uninsulated black panel temperature shall be 636 2C. For the equivalent insulated black panel temperature,consult the manufactu

44、rer of the device.NOTE 3The set points specified for irradiance, temperature andhumidity are the target conditions for the sensor programmed by the userat the control point. Therefore, when a standard calls for a particular setpoint, the user programs that exact number. The operational fluctuationsp

45、ecified with the set point does not imply that the user is allowed toprogram a set point higher or lower than the exact set point specified.Operational fluctuation is determined by the machine variable and is themaximum deviation allowable from the set point of the sensor at thecontrol point during

46、equilibrium conditions.NOTE 4To track the rate of color change in the xenon arc exposure,the total exposure time can be divided into three or more phases and thedevice programmed to stop at the end of each phase so the specimens canbe measured and recorded. Then specimens are returned to the testcha

47、mber and exposure continues until the total required amount ofirradiation is reached.7.3.4 Test Method DExposure Simulating Daylight Fil-tered Through Window Glass in a Humidity Controlled Xenon-Arc DeviceThis environment will typically have higherrelative humidity than Test Method C:7.3.4.1 Follow

It is recommended that all unused spaces inthe specimen exposure area be filled with blank metal panelsthat are not highly reflective.7.3.4.3 Follow 7.3.3.2.7.3.4.4 Follow 7.3.3.3.7.3.4.5 Set the relative humidity at

49、the control point in thetest chamber to 55 6 5 % RH.7.3.4.6 In machines that allow control of chamber airtemperature, it shall be set at 43 6 2C.NOTE 5Duplicate specimens should not be placed near one anotherduring the exposures.NOTE 6It has been found that Alizarin Crimson and other colorantsare affected differently when exposed to a light/dark cycle rather than tocontinuous light. Dark periods are characteristic of exposure to daylight aswell as to indoor lighting. Therefore, when mutually agreed upon, thefollowing alternative light and dark
