1、Designation:D713311Standard Test Method forPolyurethane Raw Materials:Instrumental Measurement ofTristimulus CIELAB Color and Yellowness Index of Liquids1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7133;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption
2、or,in the case of revision,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.Scope*1.1 This test method provides an instrumental method formeasuring the CIELAB color and
3、Yellowness Index(YI)ofliquid polyurethane raw materials.The CIELAB and YI resultsare derived from mathematical manipulation of CIE tristimulusvalues in accordance with Practices E308 and E313,respec-tively.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with
4、 its use.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.NOTE1There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D883 Terminolog

7、minologies E284,D883,and theterminology section of Practice E308.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The color of the total transmitted light is measured by aspectrophotometer in CIE tristimulus values under CIE stan-dard illuminant D65 and CIE 1964 supplementary standardobserver commonly called the 10 stan
8、dard observer.Thesevalues are then converted by the appropriate equations to theCIELAB color scale and the Yellowness Index.L*a*b*and YIvalues are reported.5.Significance and Use5.1 CIELAB is a visual-based scale that can be used tospecify color and set color tolerances for the polyurethaneindustry.
9、5.2 Yellowness Index specifies the degree of departure ofthe sample from colorless towards yellow.This index is onlysuitable for clear liquids with degrees of saturation in yellow(dominant transmission wavelength in the 570 to 580 nmrange).It can be used to set tolerances for appropriatepolyurethane
