1.1本规程涵盖了精密仪器测量表观材料颜色所需的仪器要求、标准化程序、材料标准和参数。本规程旨在涵盖视在材料；例如，汽车涂料、油漆、塑料和油墨。 1.2本规程涉及含金属薄片和颜料的材料的测量。本规程不包括含有珠光和干涉材料的材料的光学特性。测量含有金属薄片的材料需要三个测量角度来表征试样的颜色。 注1-利用本规程获取的数据用于外观质量控制目的。该程序可能不一定为色素识别提供适当的数据。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 仪器测量角度 — 本规程旨在提供特定测量角度下的颜色数据，可用于金属薄片着色材料的质量控制、颜色匹配和表征。 材料 — 本规程为金属薄片着色材料提供了有意义的颜色信息，但尚未评估是否可用于珠光材料或其他透明材料。该实践已在油漆和涂料上进行了测试和验证，相同的原则应适用于含有金属薄片的塑料。 利用 — 本规程适用于金属薄片着色材料的测量和表征。这些数据可用于质量控制、进货检验或颜色校正。 试样要求 — 即使一对试样在三个角度具有相同的颜色值，如果光泽、桔皮、纹理或薄片方向存在差异，它们可能不是视觉匹配。 笔记 2-本规程中提供的信息基于金属材料涂层的数据。用户应确认本规程对其他材料的适用性。

1.1 This practice covers the instrumental requirements, standardization procedures, material standards, and parameters needed to make precise instrumental measurements of the colors of gonioapparent materials. This practice is designed to encompass gonioapparent materials; such as, automotive coatings, paints, plastics, and inks. 1.2 This practice addresses measurement of materials containing metal flake and pigments. The optical characteristics of materials containing pearlescent and interference materials are not covered by this practice. The measurement of materials containing metal flakes requires three angles of measurement to characterize the colors of the specimen. Note 1—Data taken by utilizing this practice are for appearance quality control purposes. This procedure may not necessarily supply appropriate data for pigment identification. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== Instrumental Measurement Angles — This practice is designed to provide color data at specific measurement angles that can be utilized for quality control, color matching, and formulating in the characterization of metal flake pigmented materials. Materials — This practice provides meaningful color information for metal flake pigmented materials, but has not been evaluated for use with pearlescent materials or other gonioapparent materials. This practice has been tested and verified on paint and coatings, and the same principles should apply to plastics containing metallic flake. Utilization — This practice is appropriate for measurement and characterization of metal flake pigmented materials. These data may be used for quality control, incoming inspection, or color correction purposes. Specimen Requirements — Even though a pair of specimens have the same color values at three angles, if there are differences in gloss, orange peel, texture, or flake orientation, they may not be a visual match. Note 2—Information presented in this practice is based upon data taken on metallic materials coatings. Applicability of this practice to other materials should be confirmed by the user.
