AOCS Official Method Td 1a-64Revised 2000
ColorGardner 1963 (Glass Standards)
DEFINITIONThis method determines the color by comparison with standards of specified color.SCOPEApplicable to natural and synthetic drying oils, fatty acids and oil derivatives that do not differ in hueappreciably from the standards.
APPARATUS1. Glass standards—eighteen, numbered separately, hav-
ing the transmittance characteristics given in Table 1and the tolerance specified in Notes, 2. Details of sup-pliers of glass standards may be obtained from TheTintometer Limited, Waterloo Road, Salisbury,Wiltshire, SPI 2JY, UK. Te l : +44 1722 327242, Fax:+44 1722 412322, E-mail: [email protected]
2. Clear glass tubes—10.65 ± 0.025 mm i.d. and about114 mm outside length. (Viscosity tubes, as describedin AOCS Official Method Tq 1a-64, are satisfactory.Kimble EXAX test tubes, #46463-1075, may also beused.)
3. Suitable apparatus for comparing sample and standards—The apparatus may be of any design, but, for the highestprecision, should have the following characteristics:(a) Illumination—CIE Illuminant C.
(b) Surrounding field—Should not differ significantlyin brightness from the sample and standards, andshould be essentially achromatic.
(c) Field of view—Two standards and the sampleshould subtend a visual angle of about 2°. Tw ostandards and a sample should always be in thefield of view.
(d) Separation of standard and sample—There shouldbe a perceptible separation between sample andstandard, but this should be as small as mechani-cally possible.
Other conditions may be used, if they can be demon-strated to give the same results.
PROCEDURE1. All hazy material should be filtered at 25°C.2. Fill a sample tube (Apparatus, 2).3. Compare with standards, bringing the next lightest and
next darkest into the field of view at the same time.
REPORTING1. The color of the sample is reported as the number of
the standard most closely matching the sample. If thesample falls between two standards, it will be reportedas “+” or “−” depending on whether it is darker (+) orlighter (−) than the standard it most closely approach-es. Thus, between colors 5 and 6, the steps will be 5,5+, 6−, and 6.
COLOR STANDARDS1. The standard shall be of glass, with the color produced
by the glass component only, and shall have the colorcharacteristics given in Table 1.
NOTES1. The values of the chromaticity coordinates may be
obtained by spectrophotometric measurements, inaccordance with ASTM standards.
2. Tolerance—individual standards shall not depart fromthe coordinates given in Table 1 by more than 1⁄3 of thedistance to the next color. In any one set, no two stan-dards shall be closer together than 2⁄3 of the nominalvalue of the color difference between them.
