BS EN ISO 4630:2015 pdf download – Clear liquids — Estimation of colour by the Gardner colour scale 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for estimating the colour of optically clear,yellow/brownish coloured liquid products by means of the Gardner colour scale using colour-measuringinstruments.The method uses the Gardner colour scale described in Annex A. lt is applicable to drying oils, varnishes and solutions of fatty acids, polymerized fatty acids, resins, talloil, tall oil fatty acids, rosin and related products.The results might be invalid if other products are tested.The method described provides a more precise way of measuring Gardner colour than a visual samplecomparison using human eyes.It is applicable to products having colours from Gardner 1 toGardner 1i8.The Gardner scale is not applicable to products with colours darker than 18.For products with colourslighter than Gardner 1 the method specified in ISO 6271 applies. 2Normative references The following referenced documents,in whole or in part, are normally referenced in this document andare indispensable for its application.For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

If such an instrument is notavailable, one may be used which is capable of measuring transmitted colour and reporting in tristimulusvalues using standard illuminant C and the 2° observer, described in CIE Publication No.15:2004. 4.2Absorption cells, 10 mm light path length recommended, unless a different path length is specifiedby the instrument manufacturer or 4.3 Glass tubes,11 mm path length. Glass test tubes designed for a specific instrument may be used. 5 Sampling Take a representative sample of the product to be tested, as described in ISO 15528. In the case of rosin, take a...
