English

Subject field(s)
  • Measuring Instruments (Engineering)
  • Plastics Industry
  • Papermaking Machines
  • Paints and Varnishes (Industries)
DEF

A paper mill laboratory test instrument used to measure the gloss or glare created by the surface of a sheet of paper. It operates by measuring the amount of light reflected from the sheet surface when exposed to a standard light source.

DEF

An instrument, often photoelectric, for measuring the ratio of the light reflected from a surface in a definite direction to the total light reflected in all directions.

DEF

An instrument for measuring gloss as a function of the regular and diffuse reflection characteristics of a material.

Key term(s)
  • gloss-meter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments de mesure (Ingénierie)
  • Industrie des plastiques
  • Machines à papier
  • Peintures et vernis (Industries)
DEF

Appareil qui permet de mesurer le taux de réflexion d'un rayon lumineux projeté sous une certaine incidence sur la surface d'un papier ou d'un carton.

DEF

Appareil permettant de mesurer dans des conditions reproductibles, le brillant spéculaire. [Définition normalisée par l'AFNOR et reproduite avec son autorisation.]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Optical Glass
  • Protective Clothing
  • The Eye
DEF

The direction at right angles to a plane of transmission that passes through the optical centre of a lens(or geometrical centre of a plano filter), generally intended to be orientated horizontally when mounting to reduce sun glare reflected from horizontal surfaces.

OBS

direction of intended horizontal orientation of a polarizing filter: term and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Key term(s)
  • direction of intended horizontal orientation of a polarizing filtre
  • direction of intended horizontal orientation of a polarising filter
  • direction of intended horizontal orientation of a polarising filtre

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Verres d'optique
  • Vêtements de protection
  • Oeil
DEF

Direction perpendiculaire à un plan de transmission qui passe par le centre optique d'un verre (ou le centre géométrique d'un filtre plan), généralement destiné à être orienté horizontalement lorsqu'il est monté pour réduire l'éblouissement solaire réfléchi par les surfaces horizontales.

OBS

direction de l'orientation horizontale prévue d'un filtre polarisant : terme et définition normalisés par l'Organisation internationale de normalisation (ISO).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optical Glass
  • Orthoses
  • The Eye
DEF

A lens used in sunglasses and sometimes 3D glasses which consists of two glass or plastic surfaces with a plastic lamination between the two surfaces, and designed to reduce reflected glare.

Record 5 2000-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Lamps
  • Lighting
  • Electrical Engineering
CONT

White and silver bowl lamps are generally used for indirect lighting. White bowl lamps have a translucent white coating on the inner surface of the bulb bowl. This reduces both direct and reflected glare from open fixtures.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Lampes
  • Éclairage
  • Électrotechnique
CONT

On obtient aussi un éclairage indirect en utilisant une ampoule à calotte argentée placée dans un réflecteur réfléchissant.

OBS

En vertu de ce contexte on pourrait préposer «lampe à calotte blanche».
