1、Designation: D 6290 05Standard Test Method forColor Determination of Plastic Pellets1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6290; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in

2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method is intended primarily for the instru-mental measurement of the degree of yellowness (or change ofdegree of yellowness) under

3、daylight illumination of homoge-neous, nonfluorescent, nearly-colorless transparent or nearly-white translucent or opaque plastics. The measurement is madeon pellets and based on tristimulus values obtained with aspectrophotometer or colorimeter.1.2 This test method is applicable to the color analys

4、is ofplastic pellets. Each material may have unique characteristicsthat determine the color values.1.3 This procedure outlines a method to determine colormeasurements, such as Yellowness Index, CIE X, Y, Z, andHunter L, a, b, or CIE L*, a*, b*.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the

5、safety concerns, if any, associated 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.NOTE 1There is no equivalent ISO Standard.2.

Significance and Use4.1 Before proceeding with this test method, referenceshould be made to the specification of the material being tested.Any test specimen preparation, conditioning, dimensions, ortesting parameters, or

10、 a 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 default conditions apply.NOTE 2Some materials, such as polyamide (nylon), can be cooledvery differently during the production

11、of the pellets. This variation in thecooling of the pellets can result in different levels of crystallinity in thepellets only. More crystalline nylons will be more opaque than amorphousnylons. This will result in differences in pellet opacity. The pellet shape isindependent of the crystallinity of

12、the material. This variation in pelletappearance, due to varying levels of crystallinity, does not affect finalproperties.NOTE 3This test method should not be used for general materialspecifications.4.2 This test method describes a technique useful for mak-ing color comparisons of resins in pellet f

13、orm that is fast andconvenient as it does not require preparation, such as moldingor extruding specimens. The test method shall be used only tocompare specimens of similar pellet shape, size, texture, anddegree of translucency. For example, translucent disc-shapedpellets should be compared to transl

14、ucent disc-shaped pellets,not with opaque, rectangular shaped pellets.4.3 Exact measurements of resin pellet color may not bedirectly related to the color of the final cast, molded orextruded product due to the multitude of variables, such asproducing variables, methods, and pellet shape and size.

18、or completely and precisely. The general method used inthis procedure measures color using the CIE Systems describedin Practice E 308, Test Method D 2244, the CIE 1976 (X, Y, Z)system, and, the CIELAB 1976 color space.34.5 Individual components of the tristimulus measurementsuch as CIE Y (Luminance)

19、, Hunter L, a, b, or CIE L*, a*, b*values or other useful metrics like yellowness index can beused to describe color attributes of materials. This test methoddescribes a standard procedure on how these measurements aremade.5. Interferences5.1 Comparisons of color measurements can only be madeif the

20、material is the same, the pellet cut, size and shape areessentially the same and the test instrument is the same typeand within the same group. (See 6.2 and Section 10 and TablesA and B for instrument differences.)6. Apparatus6.1 Apparatus may be spectrophotometer, or tristimuluscolorimeter, conform

21、ing to Guide E 179.6.2 There are several different optical geometries currentlybeing used for measuring color. It is important that similaroptical geometries be used if results are to be compared. Theseare designated as Groups defined as follows:6.2.1 Group ISpectrophotometer with 45 to 52-mm portwi

Procedure7.1 Standardize the instrument in accordance with themanufacturers written instructions (usually once per shift).7.2 Fill the sample cup to the top with pellets.7.3 Center the pellet filled cup at the s

28、est value.NOTE 6Many instruments will report the Yellowness Index in accor-dance with Test Method E 313 directly thus no calculations are requiredfor individual Yellowness Index value.7.5.1 For other measurements, such as Hunter L, a, b or CIEL*, a*, b* make the necessary instrument settings and tak

Precision and Bias10.1 Precision:10.1.1 Table 1 reflects data tested with ten instruments inGroup I, and Table 2 with six instruments in Group II. All dataare based on a round robin conducted in 1994

32、-1995 inaccordance with Practice E 691, involving eight materialstested with six test results measured on three days by eachlaboratory. For each material, pellets were gathered and pack-aged by one source and the individual packages were sent toeach of the laboratories which tested them. Each test r

33、esult isthe value of an individual determination. Each laboratoryobtained six test results for each materials. Table 1A and Table2B reflect the values as if each test value consisted of anaverage of three readings. (WarningThe following explana-tions of r and R (10.1.2 through 10.1.4) only are inten

35、sidering approximate preci-sion of this test method. The data in Table 1, Table 2, Table 1A,and Table 2A should not be applied rigorously to acceptance orrejection of material, as those data are specific to the roundrobin and may not be representative of other lots, conditions,materials, or laborato

36、ries. Users of this test method shouldapply the principles outlined in Practice E 691 to generate dataspecific to their laboratory and materials or between specificlaboratories. The principles of 10.1.2 through 10.1.4 thenwould be valid for such data.)10.1.2 Concept of r and RIf Srand SRhave been ca

39、 morethan the R value for that material.10.1.5 Any judgment in accordance with 10.1.1 or 10.1.2would have an approximate 95 % (0.95) probability of beingcorrect.10.2 BiasThere are no recognized standards by which toestimate bias of this test method.11.
