If there are no material specifica-tions, then default conditi

11、ons apply.NOTE 2Some materials, such as polyamide (nylon), can be cooledvery differently during the production 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 amorphousnyl

12、ons. This will result in differences in pellet opacity. The pellet shape isindependent of the crystallinity of 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 materialspeci

17、tangular 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. Colormeasurements can be useful for comparing r

18、esins in pellet formwhen all samples are similar in shape and size.4.4 A three-number tristimulus system is necessary to quan-tify color completely and precisely. The general method used inthis procedure measures color using the CIE Systems describedin Practice E308, Test Method D2244, the CIE 1976

19、(X, Y, Z)system, and, the CIELAB 1976 color space.34.5 Individual components of the tristimulus measurementsuch as CIE Y (Luminance), 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

20、a standard procedure on how these measurements aremade.5. Interferences5.1 Comparisons of color measurements can only be madeif the 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

21、and TablesA and B for instrument differences.)6. Apparatus6.1 Apparatus may be spectrophotometer, or tristimuluscolorimeter, conforming to Guide E179.6.2 There are several different optical geometries currentlybeing used for measuring color. It is important that similaroptical geometries be used if

22、results are to be compared. Theseare designated as Groups defined as follows:6.2.1 Group ISpectrophotometer with 45 to 52-mm portwith 0/45 directional geometry. See Test Methods E1347 andE1349.6.2.2 Group IIColorimeter with 52-mm port with 45/0directional geometry. See Test Methods E1347 and E1349.6

23、.2.3 Group IIISphere with minimum of 25-mm port witha nominal 0/diffuse geometry. See Test Methods E1331 andE1347.6.2.4 Group IVSphere with minimum of 25-mm port witha nominal diffuse/0 geometry. See Test Methods E1331 andE1347.6.3 There may be other optical geometries being used forthis test method

24、, which should be added if being used andbrought to our attention as this procedure is being evaluated.6.4 Calibrated tiles, for instrument standardization.6.5 Glass (clear), specimen cell at least 60-mm 212-in.diameter and a minimum of 50-mm depth and black samplecover of sufficient size to prevent

25、 external light from affectingthe pellet measurement.NOTE 4The clear sample holder may be any shape that is larger thanthe port with at least 6-mm between the edge of the port and the edge ofthe sample holder.7. Procedure7.1 Standardize the instrument in accordance with themanufacturers written inst

Use a centering device if one is provided by themanufacturer.7.4 Cover the sample cup with an opaque, light exclusiondevice or cover.7.5 For Yellownes

28、ng period of time prior to measurement.Light exposure of high intensity may cause yellowness to change, thusaltering the test value.NOTE 6Many instruments will report the Yellowness Index in accor-dance with Test Method E313 directly thus no calculations are required forindividual Yellowness Index v
