ASTM-D1003, ADOPTION NOTICE: PLASTICS, TRANSPARENT, HAZE AND LUMINOUS TRANSMITTANCE OF(15-OCT-1992)

ASTM-D1003, ADOPTION NOTICE: PLASTICS, TRANSPARENT, HAZE AND LUMINOUS TRANSMITTANCE OF(15-OCT-1992)., This test method covers the evaluation of specific light-transmitting and wide-angle-light-scattering properties of planar sections of materials such as essentially transparent plastic. Two procedures are provided for the measurement of luminous transmittance and haze. Procedure A uses a hazemeter as described in Section 5 and Procedure B uses a spectrophotometer as described in Section 8. Material having a haze value greater than 30 % is considered diffusing and should be tested in accordance with Practice E167. ASTM-D1003, \"PLASTICS, TRANSPARENT, HAZE AND LUMINOUS TRANSMITTANCE OF\", was adopted on 15-OCT-92 for use by the Department of Defense (DoD). Proposed changes by DoD activities must be submitted to the DoD Adopting Activity: Commander, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, ATTN: DSCP-ILEA, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5096.
