Historical Standard: ASTM E275-93 Standard Practice for Describing and Measuring Performance of Ultraviolet, Visible, and Near-Infrared Spectrophotometers
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E275
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the description of requirements of spectrophotometric performance especially for ASTM methods, and the testing of the adequacy of available equipment for a specific method. The tests give a measurement of some of the important parameters controlling results obtained in spectrophotometric methods, but it is specifically not to be concluded that all the factors in instrument performance are measured.
1.1.1 This practice is not to be used ( 1 ) as a rigorous test of performance of instrumentation, or ( 2 ) to intercompare the quantitative performance of instruments of different design.
1.1.2 This practice is primarily directed to dispersive spectrophotometers used for transmittance measurements rather than instruments designed for diffuse transmission and diffuse reflection.
