1、Designation:E263008(Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forLuminance Ratio of a Fluorescent Specimen using a NarrowBand Source1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2630;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision
2、,the year of last revision.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 This test method covers the instrumental measurementof the luminance ratio of a fluorescent coating or sheet s
3、amplewhen illuminated by a narrow band source.1.2 This test method is generally applicable to any coatingor sheeting material having combined fluorescent and reflectiveproperties,where the fluorescence is activated by 405 nm light.1.3 This test method is intended as a companion to Speci-fication E25
4、01 to support the development and specification ofindustrial coatings that are used in a system for detection ofcoating defects when inspected with the Specification E2501light source.This test method establishes a quantitative mea-sure of the optical property of a coating that correlates to itsabil
5、ity to enhance defect contrast under the specified inspectionlight source.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.
6、It 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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D2805 Test Method for Hiding Power of Paints by Reflec-tometryD4356 Practice fo
