ASTM C584 Test for Specular Gloss of Glazed Ceramic Whitewares and Related Products
ASTM C584 is used to determine the 60° specular gloss of glazed ceramic whitewares and related products.
Scope:
Gloss is the shine or luster on a smooth surface. ASTM C584 is used for establishing specular gloss limits for bright, semi-mat, and mat glazed surfaces. The appearance of gloss is a result of several attributes including specular gloss. Therefore, specular gloss measurements do not always correlate well with visual rankings of glossiness. However, this method is of sufficient accuracy for the intended purpose.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM C584, the surface of the specimens is cleaned with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. It is dried with a lint-free cloth. The glossmeter is then used to measure the specular gloss of the surface. A glossmeter is an instrument that is used to measure the specular reflection gloss of a surface. Gloss is determined by projecting a beam of light at a fixed intensity and angle onto a surface and measuring the amount of reflected light at an equal but opposite angle. Two readings are taken in the center of each specimen, the second one is taken after rotating the specimen by 90°, and the average of the two readings is calculated.

Specimen size:
For ASTM C584, the specimens should be 102 by 102 mm in size or larger. Only specimens with a reasonably plane surface should be used because warpage and waviness will affect the result.
Data:
The average specular gloss reading of each specimen is reported.
Conclusion:
ASTM C584 is used for establishing specular gloss limits for bright, semi-mat, and mat glazed surfaces.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
