This standard is alsoknown as a product standard. The use of a product standard ofsuitable stability is highly desirable.1.4 Because tristimulus col

6、orimeters do not 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, thistes

7、t method specifies 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

18、.4.1.2 Color differences by transmitted light of nonmeta-meric, nonparameric pairs of transparent or translucent speci-mens by use of hemispherical geometry. The colorimeter maybe standardized by use of a white standard at the reflection portof the integrating sphere with no specimen in place. Whent

19、ranslucent specimens are measured, 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

20、 of opaque ortranslucent specimens 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 her

21、eafter re-ferred to as local standards.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

22、measurement of the daytime color of 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 l

23、arger cone angles, with appropriate 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. Wh

24、en such information is not required, 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 re

25、flectance factor; the second proce-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 determin

26、edby measurement of suitable verification standards (see PracticeE1164). With instruments not meeting this requirement, the useof local standards is recommended, but only when the signallevel (see Note 2) from the use of each colorimeter filter isadequately high.NOTE 1Of necessity, the above require

27、ments are in part subjective, asthe 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 d

28、ata areobtained.NOTE 2The adequacy 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, on

29、lyrelative measured values are required 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 p

30、roductstandard color coordinates may 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,

31、the user of this test method must designate the colorsystem to be used in the computation (see Practice D2244).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

32、 or spectro-photometers with either 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 col

33、ordifferences of nonmetameric, nonparameric 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 color

34、coordinates when the colorimeter 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 E179 and Practice E805).NOTE 3To ensure inter-instrument agreement in the measurement ofre

35、troreflective specimens, significantly tighter tolerances than those givenin Practice E1164 in the section on Influx and Efflux Conditions for45:Normal (45:0) and Normal:45 (0:45) Reflectance Factor are requiredfor the instrument angles of illumination and viewing. Information on therequired toleran

36、ces is being developed.5.4 A requirement for the use of a colorimeter to obtainaccurate color coordinates is that the combination of source,3Hunter, R. S., “Photoelectric Tristimulus Colorimetry with Three Filters,”Journal, Optical Society of America, Vol 32, 1942, pp. 509558.4Hoffman, K., “Chromati

When this requirement is not met,

38、 this test methodrequires the use of local standards for improving accuracy inthe measurement of color coordinates (see also 4.2). For themeasurement of small color differences between nonmeta-meric, nonparameric specimens, accuracy in absolute colorcoordinates is less important and standardization

39、of the colo-rimeter by use of a white standard is satisfactory. However,accurate color-difference measurement requires that specimenpairs have similar spectral and geometric characteristics.6.
