Other Characteristics
Retroreflection
At a –4o
entrance angle and a 0.2o
observation angle,
unprinted film series 680 has the following typical
coefficient of retroreflection. It is expressed in
candlepower per foot-candle per square foot
(candela/lux/square meter) per ASTME 810.
The entrance angle is formed by a light beam striking the
surface at a point and at a line that is perpendicular to the
surface at the same point.
An observation angle is formed by the light beam striking
the reflective surface and returning to the observer. From
245 metres(800 feet), a motorist normally views a graphic
at a 0.2o
angle.
