5.5.7.5 Determination of the AOCS Cc 13 e (Lovibond
®
) scale
The calculation of the Lovibond color values is derived from the 
methods AOCS Cc 13e or BS 684 -1.14 and based on the 
yellow/red values (5 1/2 inch or 1 inch) of the AF900/AF960 
instruments. On the printout, the 1" values are identified by a 1. 
5.5.7.6 Determination of the Yellowness Index (ASTM D 1925)
The Yellowness Index is calculated and displayed according to 
ASTM D 1925 for standard illuminant C and a 2° standard 
observer. This color value can be measured in 10 mm, 11 mm or 
50 mm cuvettes.
The Yellowness Index is calculated as follows:
Y i = 100 × ( 1.277 × X 1.059 × Z ) / Y
5.5.7.7 Determination of the Hess-Ives color number
The Hess-Ives color number is used in the cosmetics industry to 
evaluate the color of fat derivatives. It combines in one number 
the weighted color intensities, which represent the red, green and 
blue parts of the transmittance spectrum of the sample at 
3 wavelengths. It is defined in DGK 8 method no. F 050.2 and 
calculated and displayed in accordance with this method. The 
Hess-Ives color number is calculated from:
H - I = ((R + G + B) ×6) / path length
R, G and B are the color components for the red (640 nm), green 
(560 nm) and blue (464 nm) parts. For R,G and B:
R = 43.45 × E
640
G = 162.38 × E
560
B = 22.89 × (E
460
 + E
470
) / 2
5.5.7.8 Determination of the ADMI color number
The ADMI color number is used to measure the color of water 
and wastewater having color characteristics significantly different 
from platinum-cobalt standards, as well as to those similar in hue 
to the standards.
The American Dye Manufacturers Institute (ADMI) has adopted 
the Platinum-Cobalt standard of the American Public Health 
Association (APHA) as the standard for color value. Although this 
standard is yellow, the ADMI method works for all hues.
The measurements can be taken using 10 mm, 11 mm or 50 mm 
cuvettes. A longer path length increases the measurement 
accuracy (50 mm path length is recommended).
Turbid samples must be filtered prior to analysis.
