4、ng system, such as an integrating sphere, or a bidirectionaloptical measuring system, such as annular, circumferential, oruniplanar 45:0 and 0:45 geometry.1.3 Because of the limited absolute accuracy of tristimuluscolorimeters, this test method specifies that, when color coor-dinates are required, t

5、he instrument be standardized by use ofa standard having similar spectral (color) and geometriccharacteristics to those of the specimen. This standard is alsoknown as a product standard. The use of a product standard ofsuitable stability is highly desirable.1.4 Because tristimulus colorimeters do no

6、t provide anyinformation about the reflectance or transmittance curves of thespecimens, they cannot be used to gain any information aboutmetamerism or paramerism.1.5 Because of the inability of tristimulus (filter) colorim-eters to detect metamerism or paramerism of specimens, thistest method specif

7、ies that, when color differences are required,the two specimens must have similar spectral (color) andgeometric characteristics. In this case, the instrument may bestandardized for reflectance measurement by use of a whitereflectance standard or, for transmittance measurement, withno specimen or sta

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method provides procedures fo

16、r measuringobject-color specimens in either transmission or reflection witha tristimulus colorimeter (hereafter referred to as a colorimeter)by use of the following geometric conditions and standardiza-tion procedures:4.1.1 Color differences by reflected light of nonmetameric,nonparameric pairs of o

17、paque or translucent specimens by useof either hemispherical geometry, with an integrating sphere, orbidirectional geometry, such as annular, circumferential, oruniplanar 45:0 or 0:45 geometry. The colorimeter may bestandardized by use of a white reflectance standard.4.1.2 Color differences by trans

18、mitted light of non-metameric, nonparameric pairs of transparent or translucentspecimens by use of hemispherical geometry. The colorimetermay be standardized by use of a white standard at the reflectionport of the integrating sphere with no specimen in place. Whentranslucent specimens are measured,

19、they should be placedflush against the transmission port of the sphere, and the whitestandard should, for maximum accuracy, have the same reflec-tance and chemical composition as that of the lining of theintegrating sphere.4.1.3 Color coordinates by reflected light of opaque ortranslucent specimens

20、by use of either bidirectional or hemi-spherical geometry. The colorimeter may be standardized byuse of a standard having spectral (color) and geometriccharacteristics similar to those of the specimens. Such stan-dards, often called hitching-post standards, are hereafter re-ferred to as local standa

21、rds.34.1.4 Color coordinates by transmitted light of transparentor translucent specimens by use of hemispherical geometry.The colorimeter may be standardized by use of a localstandard.4.1.5 This test method is not appropriate for fluorescentspecimens.4.1.6 For the measurement of the daytime color of

22、 retrore-flective specimens, the 45:0 or 0:45 conditions are normallyrequired. Some modern, high brightness, retroreflective sheet-ing has been shown to exhibit geometric artifacts if the coneangles are too narrow. In these cases, it may be moreappropriate to use larger cone angles, with appropriate

23、 toler-ances.4.1.7 When the specimens exhibit directionality, and acolorimeter with uniplanar bidirectional geometry is used,information on directionality may be obtained by measuringthe specimens at more than one rotation angle, typically at twoangles 90 apart. When such information is not required

24、, thesemeasurements may be averaged, or a colorimeter with annularor circumferential bidirectional geometry may be used.4.2 This test method includes two different procedures forstandardizing the colorimeter. The first procedure utilizes awhite standard of known reflectance factor; the second proce-

25、dure utilizes a local standard.4.2.1 When absolute values of color coordinates are to bedetermined, the use of a white standard is recommended onlywith colorimeters in which there is good conformance of thecolorimeter readings to CIE tristimulus values, as determinedby measurement of suitable verifi

26、cation standards (see PracticeE 1164). With instruments not meeting this requirement, theuse of local standards is recommended, but only when thesignal level (see Note 2) from the use of each colorimeter filteris adequately high.NOTE 1Of necessity, the above requirements are in part subjective, asth

27、e methods for verifying conformance to the requirements may not beavailable to the average user. Each user must decide whether thestandardization procedure selected results in a loss of accuracy in themeasurements that is negligibly small for the purpose for which data areobtained.NOTE 2The adequacy

28、 of the signal level can be determined bymeasuring the short-term repeatability without replacement, and ascer-taining that the variation in the answer represents less than 30 % of thedesired or allowable variation.4.2.2 When color differences are to be measured, onlyrelative measured values are req

29、uired for the two members ofthe color-difference pair, and standardization by use of either awhite standard or a local standard is satisfactory. In those caseswhere a computer program is being used to predict colortolerances, accuracy of the absolute values of the productstandard color coordinates m

30、ay become more important (see4.2.1).4.3 Procedures for selecting specimens suitable for preci-sion measurement are included in this test method.4.4 Most modern colorimeters compute the color coordi-nates of the specimen during the measurement. When this is thecase, the user of this test method must

31、designate the colorsystem to be used in the computation (see Practice D 2244).5. Significance and Use5.1 The most direct and accessible methods for obtainingthe color differences and color coordinates of object colors areby instrumental measurement using colorimeters or spectro-photometers with eith

32、er hemispherical or bidirectional opticalmeasuring systems. This test method provides procedures forsuch measurement by use of a colorimeter with either abidirectional or a hemispherical optical measuring system.5.2 This test method is suitable for measurement of colordifferences of nonmetameric, no

33、nparameric pairs of object-color specimens, or color coordinates of most such specimens.A further limitation to the use of colorimeters having hemi-spherical geometry is the existence of a chromatic integrating-sphere error that prevents accurate measurement of colorcoordinates when the colorimeter

34、is standardized by use of awhite standard.45.3 For the measurement of retroreflective specimens bythis test method, the use of bidirectional geometry is recom-mended (See Guide E 179 and Practice E 805).NOTE 3To ensure inter-instrument agreement in the measurement ofretroreflective specimens, signif

35、icantly tighter tolerances than those givenin Practice E 1164 in the section on Influx and Efflux Conditions for45:Normal (45:0) and Normal:45 (0:45) Reflectance Factor are required3Hunter, R.

Information on therequired tolerances is being developed.5.4 A requirement f

37、or the use of a colorimeter to obtainaccurate color coordinates is that the combination of source,filter, and detector characteristics to duplicate accurately thecombined characteristics of a CIE standard illuminant andobserver. When this requirement is not met, this test methodrequires the use of l

38、ocal standards for improving accuracy inthe measurement of color coordinates (see also 4.2). For themeasurement of small color differences between non-metameric, nonparameric specimens, accuracy in absolutecolor coordinates is less important and standardization of thecolorimeter by use of a white st

39、andard is satisfactory. However,accurate color-difference measurement requires that specimenpairs have similar spectral and geometric characteristics.6.
