Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Color for Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Materials
Also Known As:
The ASTM D4960-20 standard is titled "Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Color for Thermoplastic Pavement Marking Materials". This test method provides a standardized procedure for determining the color of thermoplastic pavement marking materials. It can be used in conjunction with specific thermoplastic pavement marking specifications to ensure compliance with those specifications. Additionally, manufacturers can utilize this test method to assess the uniformity of the color of thermoplastic pavement marking materials across different batches.
One important consideration highlighted in the standard is that there may be slight variations in color standards and colorimeters. Thus, for the test results to be meaningful, they must be reported along with information on the instrument model designation and calibration standard used.
The test method described in ASTM D4960-20 involves the instrumental determination of color using the CIE Y, x, y color measurement system. This system is based on international color standards and provides a comprehensive and objective way to measure and evaluate color.
