Measurement of Light Scattered by Eye Protection Filters

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In order to characterize the light scattered by eye protection filters a reduced luminance coefficient l* = Ls/τE is defined: Ls luminance of scattered light, τ directional transmittance of the filter, E illuminance of incident radiation. The possibilities of measuring this quantity, which is specific for the material concerned [unit (cd/m2)/lx = sr−1] are discussed, and a method is described which also fulfills the ophthalmological conditions; this is demonstrated for filters used in welding. By comparison measurements with an earlier American method, which gives the percentage of the scattered light, it is shown that a value l* = (1 cd/m2)/lx is equivalent to 0.8% scattered light.
