1、Designation: E3040 15Standard Test Method forEvaluation of Instrumental Color Difference with a GrayScale1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3040; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 Test Method D2616 describes a painted gray scale andthe procedure to be used in the visual evaluation of colordifferences on

3、 non-self-luminous materials by comparison tothis scale. This test method provides an alternative method ofobtaining a similarly valued result by an instrumental method.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard, except

4、 that the test results of this test method areconverted by the calculations to an arbitrary visual scaledefined by Test Method D2616, whose units are called GSC(Gray Scale for Change in Color).1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. I

5、t 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.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The color of a specimen that has been submitted to adestructive test whose severity is evaluated by change in color,and an identical untreated specimen, are measured spectropho-tometrically and both of their colors evaluated by conventionalmeans. The conventional

United States14.2 This test method is similar to the following threeinternatio

15、nal test methods: AATCC Evaluation Procedure 7,ISO 105-A05, and JIS L 0809.5. Significance and Use5.1 The gray scale grade GSCis useful to evaluate the colordifference of any pair of colors that have been subjected to adestructive test whose severity of result is nominated by colordifference of the

16、treated member to the untreated member. Thisincludes, but is not limited to, scrub tests, exterior exposures,crocking tests, blocking tests, certain abrasion tests, and colortransfer tests.5.2 A major advantage of the instrumental method ofobtaining gray scale grades is that under the visual methods

17、ubstantial screening and training of the operators in visualcolor assessment is required. No such burden is placed on theoperators in this instrumental method.5.3 The method is usually not used for staining tests whichhave their own gray scale for staining.6. Apparatus6.1 Spectrophotometer, having o

18、ne of the three qualifiedgeometries that are listed in Practice E1164. These geometriesinclude: bidirectional (more familiarly called 0/45 or 45/0),or hemispherical specular included, or hemispherical specularexcluded geometries.6.2 In the absence of any reason for choosing one over theother, hemisp

19、herical specular included geometry is most ap-propriate for the type of measurements that are made inconnection with this standard.7. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units7.1 The specimen pairs utilized in this method are nearlyalways a pair of identical specimens where one member of thepair has

20、been subjected to a destructive test whose severity ofresult may be quantified by a change in color.7.2 The test is based upon a visual method D2616 ofassessing the degree of this color change. The precision of thevisual method is such that the gray scale grade is reported tothe nearest half-unit on

21、 a scale of five to one. This method isdesigned to emulate the results of Test Method D2616 and assuch is reported in these same half-units.8. Calibration and Standardization8.1 Maintain the spectrophotometer in a state of calibration.Standardize the spectrophotometer in accordance with themanufactu

22、rers instructions, or follow the standardization prac-tices of Practice E1164.9. Procedure9.1 Measure the color of the reference specimen and calcu-late the CIELAB L*, a*, b*, C* and h values using the data forthe 10 observer and for illuminant D65.9.2 Measure the color of the test specimen which ha

23、s beensubjected to the colorfastness test and make the same colori-metric calculations as done for the reference specimen. Thenmake the calculations as described in Annex A1.10. Calculation or Interpretation of Results10.1 Acomplete description of the calculations, the symbolsand subscripts used in

24、them, is given in Annex A1 of thismethod.10.2 The results of the method derive GSCvalues that are inhalf-steps between five and a value of unity. These values forma scale of discrete steps. An alternative continuous scale inTable A1.1 is equivalent and may be used at the users option.The rounded val

25、ue GSCmay be used as an index in theleft-hand column to look-up the equivalent alternative continu-ous value in the right-hand column.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 A complete description of the test pair and thetreatment being evaluated by the destructive test;11.1.2 The cal

26、culated value of GSCcalculated in connectionwith this sample pair;11.1.3 The make, model, and serial number of the spectro-photometer used to make the spectral measurements, and thegeometry of the instrument, bidirectional or hemispherical. Ifthe geometry is hemispherical, state whether specular inc

27、ludedor specular excluded mode was employed;11.1.4 Astatement that D65 and the 10 Observer were usedto calculate the conventional colorimetric values, or, if acustom illuminant-observer was employed, which one, and ajustification for that deviation from the standard method.12. Precision and Bias12.1

28、 Precision6The repeatability 95 % confidence inter-val for two specimen pairs chosen from the same distributionfor a single set of observations has been determined to be 0.034GSCunits. In this test six specimen pairs were measured tentimes each on the same instrument, and the mean 95 %confidence int

29、erval for two pairs drawn from this population isreported. Thus, two test results made back to back on the samesample pair differ by more than this value are to be consideredsuspect.12.2 BiasNo information can be provided about the biasof the test method for measuring GSCbecause no materialhaving an

30、 accepted reference value is available.13.

SYMBOLS AND CALCULATIONSA1.1 SymbolsA1

31、.1.1 The following subscripts are used in connection withthe symbols of A1.1.2.ab nominates that the scripted symbol is associated withthe CIELAB color-difference equation (see Practice D2244).F nominates that the scripted symbol is a special-case colordifference component for Gray Scale for change

32、in color, andthus differs in value from its CIELAB counterpart.K nominates that the scripted symbol has been chromacorrected, and thus differs in value from its CIELAB counter-part.M nominates the mean value of the scripted symbolbetween the test specimen and the reference specimen.R nominates that

33、the scripted symbol is associated with thereference specimen.T nominates that the scripted symbol is associated with thetest specimen.A1.1.2 The following symbols are used in the calculations:D = a place-holder for a chroma correction coefficienth = a hue angle; as used in these equations the values
