ASTM E2387 Standard Practice for Goniometric Optical Scattering Measurements

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of ASTM E2387 standard. This application describes procedures for determining the amount and angular distribution of optical scattering from a surface. It focuses specifically on the measurement of the bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF).

ASTM E2387 Standard Practice for Goniometric Optical Scattering Measurements

BSDF is a convenient and accepted way of expressing optical scattering levels for many purposes. It is often called the bidirectional reflection dispersion function (BRDF) when considering reflective scattering, or the bidirectional transmittance dispersion function (BTDF) when considering transmissive scattering.

BSDF is a basic description of a sample's appearance, and many other appearance properties (such as brightness, haze, and color) can be represented in terms of integrals of BSDF over certain geometric and spectral conditions.

This application also provides alternative ways to present angle-resolved optical scattering results, including directional reflectance factor, directional transmission factor, and differential scattering function.

This application does not provide a method for estimating data from one wavelength, scattering geometry, sample position, or polarization to any other wavelength, scattering geometry, sample position, or polarization. The user should make measurements at wavelengths, scattering geometries, sample positions and polarizations relevant to his application.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
