6、Exposure Method3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 angular deviationthe angular displacement of a lightray from its original path caused by non-parallelism of oppositesurfaces as it passes through a transparent material,which isexpressed in units of angle(degree,minutes of arc,milliradi-ans)and is a
7、function of the angle of incidence at each surfaceof the material and the index of refraction of the material.3.1.2 grid boardan optical evaluation tool used to detectthe presence of distortion in transparent parts.It is usually,butnot always,a vertical rectangular backboard with horizontaland verti
8、cal intersecting lines with maximum contrast betweenthe white lines and the black background.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The flat transparent part is mounted at a specifieddistance from a grid board test pattern with its surface parallelwith the plane of the grid board test pattern.Acamera is placed
9、so as to record a double exposure photograph of the gridpattern as viewed through the transparency from a specifiedviewing distance from the grid board test pattern.The image isthen measured to assess the level of optical deviation present.This method basically measures the amount of angular devia-t
10、ion present in a flat transparent part when viewing through itperpendicular to its surface.The part to be measured must beessentially flat and mounted such that its surface is perpendicu-lar to the camera axis.This is an alternate method to TestMethod F801 and is essentially the same as the portion
11、ofPractice F733 that deals with optical deviation.5.Significance and Use5.1 The optical angular deviation of flat transparent parts,such as aircraft windshields,canopies,cabin windows,andvisors,can be measured using these methods.Angular devia-tion in a windscreen or visor can cause objects to appea
12、r at alocation different from where they actually are.Variations inangular deviation can be used to characterize distortion andmagnification in transparent parts.Also,angular deviationmeasurements made from the typical right and left eye posi-tions for a windscreen or other transparent medium can be
13、 usedto determine binocular disparity differences(see Test MethodF1181).6.Apparatus6.1 Test RoomThe test room must be large enough toproperly locate the required testing equipment.6.1.1 The walls,ceiling,and floor shall have low reflec-tance.A flat black paint or coating is preferred.1This test meth
