Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys - Measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodic oxidation coatings at angles of 20 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees or 85 degrees (ISO 7668:2010)

This International Standard specifies methods for the measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss of flat samples of anodized aluminium using geometries of 20° (Method A), 45° (Method B), 60° (Method C) and 85° (Method D), and of specular reflectance by an additional 45° method (Method E) employing a narrow acceptance angle. The methods described are intended mainly for use with clear anodized surfaces. They can be used with colour-anodized aluminium, but only with similar colours.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7668 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 79, Light metals and their alloys, Subcommittee
SC 2, Organic and anodic oxidation coatings on aluminium.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7668:1986), which has been technically revised.

Introduction
Specular reflectance and specular gloss are not unique physical properties of a surface. They vary with the
angle of measurement, and with the aperture dimensions that define the incident and the reflected beams,
such that measurements of these properties are not independent of the apparatus being used.
The specular reflectance of most surfaces increases with the angle of measurement and accounts for the use
of reflectometers with various angles as, for example, for painted surfaces. The specular reflectance
characteristics of anodized aluminium, however, do not always behave in the normal manner and, because of
its property of double reflection, reflected light comes partly from the film surface and partly from the
underlying metal. It is advisable to measure the specular reflectance characteristics at 20°, 45°, 60°, and 85°
to obtain a complete understanding of the specular reflectance properties of the anodized surface, and careful
thought should be given to which method or methods are most relevant in any particular situation. The
specular reflectance of bright-anodized aluminium with a mirror finish is best measured using 45° or 20°
geometry.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7668:2010(E)

Anodizing of aluminium and its alloys — Measurement
of specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodic oxidation
coatings at angles of 20°, 45°, 60° or 85°
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies methods for the measurement of specular reflectance and specular gloss
of flat samples of anodized aluminium using geometries of 20° (Method A), 45° (Method B), 60° (Method C)
and 85° (Method D); and of specular reflectance by an additional 45° method (Method E) employing a narrow
acceptance angle.
The methods described are intended mainly for use with clear anodized surfaces. They can be used with
colour-anodized aluminium, but only with similar colours.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
specular reflectance
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected in the specular direction for a specified source and receptor angle, to the
luminous flux of the incident light, normally expressed as a percentage
2.2
specular gloss
ratio of the luminous flux, reflected from an object in the specular direction for a specified source and receptor
angle, to the luminous flux reflected from glass with a refractive index of 1,567 in the specular direction
NOTE To set the specular gloss scale, polished black glass with a refractive index of 1,567 is assigned the value of
100 for geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85° (see Table 5). The phenomenon of light reflectance by anodized aluminium is
very different to that of black glass and the choice of a black-glass standard is arbitrary and made to allow comparison of
different qualities of anodized aluminium.
3 Principle
The specular reflectance and specular gloss of anodized aluminium surfaces are measured under defined
conditions using, as required, geometries of 20°, 45°, 60° and 85°.

4 Apparatus and geometric conditions
Usual laboratory apparatus and in particular the following.
4.1 General. Approximate comparisons between surfaces of the same colour can be made, but an
accurate measurement requires the combination of light source, photoelectric cell and associated colour filters
to give a spectral sensitivity, approximating to the CIE photopic luminous efficiency function, weighted for CIE
[1]
standard illuminants C (see CIE 38:1977 ) or D65.
NOTE Since specular reflection is in general spectrally non-selective, the spectral characteristics of the light
source (4.2) and the detector (4.4) need not be critically controlled for the measurement of normal uncoloured anodized
surfaces.
4.2 Polychromatic light source and housing, with a lens that directs a parallel, or very slightly converging,
beam of light onto the surface under test.
4.3 Means for locating the specimen surface, in the correct position for measurement.
4.4 Receptor housing containing a lens, a receptor aperture and a photoelectric cell, to receive the
cone of reflected light.
4.5 Sensitivity control, for setting the photocell current to any desired value on the instrument scale or
digital indicator.
4.6 Receptor meter, capable of giving an indication proportional to the light flux passing the receptor
aperture within 1 % of the full-scale reading. Spectral corrections are not usually required (see Note to 4.1).
4.7 Geometric conditions
The incident angle, ε , which is the angle between the axis of the incident beam and the perpendicular to the
1
surface under test, shall have the following values and tolerances:
⎯ for Method A: 20° ± 0,1°;
⎯ for Method B: 45° ± 0,1°;
⎯ for Method C: 60° ± 0,1°;
⎯ for Method D: 85° ± 0,1°;
⎯ for Method E: 45° ± 0,1°.
There shall be no vignetting of rays that lie within the angles specified above.
The axis of the receptor shall, as far as possible, coincide with the mirror image of the axis of the incident
beam; the receptor angle, ε , which is the angle between the axis of the receptor and the perpendicular to the
2
surface under test, shall be for all meth
