ASTM D1494 Test for Diffuse Light Transmission Factor of Reinforced Plastic Panels

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D1494 testing. This standard describes a test method for determining the diffused light transmission factor of translucent reinforced plastic building panels.

ASTM D1494 Test for Diffuse Light Transmission Factor of Reinforced Plastic Panels

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns regarding its use. It is the responsibility of the enterprises using this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of the limitations in the legal regulations before use.

The ASTM D1494 standard has been designed in accordance with internationally accepted standardization principles, in line with the principles published by the Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade of the World Trade Organization. There is no equivalent ISO standard to this standard.

The purpose of the test method in question is to obtain the diffused light transmittance factor of both flat and corrugated translucent building panels using a combination of fluorescent tubes as a light source using a simple apparatus. With this test method, the diffused light transmittance factor of translucent reinforced plastic building panels is determined.

This standard does not take into account safety concerns for use. It is the responsibility of the enterprise implementing this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to comply with the limits imposed by legal regulations before use.

Light transmission factor, or reflection factor, is the ratio of reflected light to incident light. This ratio is between 6-8 percent in clean glass, between 5-20 percent in prismatic glass, 70-80 percent in gypsum, 20-30 percent in cement and concrete, 10-60 percent in light wood and 10-15 percent in wood in the dark. .

Glass fiber reinforced plastic panels are obtained from a strong polyester resin reinforced with glass fiber. The smooth wall surface formed by this process is scratch-proof and stain-proof.
