§ 44.46 Use of RS color standards in determining color factor.

(a) Containers required. The containers needed to perform the visual color comparison test set forth in paragraph (c) of this section are:

(1) A container for a sample of refiners' sirup for which the color factor is to be determined (such container hereinafter called "sample container"); and

(2) Containers for the respective RS color standards.

(b) Description of containers. The sample container is made of colorless and transparent glass or plastic material and is of such shape and construction as to provide a flat 8-inch thickness of the sample to be viewed. The container for each RS color standard is a colorless and transparent 2-ounce French square water sample bottle having outside base dimensions of 16 inches by 116 inches.

(c) Visual comparison test. A sample of refiners' sirup is compared in the following manner with the RS color standards to determine whether the sample is darker than one or more of such color standards:

(1) Place each of the RS Color Standards Nos. 1, 2, and 3 in separate 2-ounce French square water sample bottles;

(2) Place a sample of the refiners' sirup in a sample container; and

(3) In order to determine whether the sample is darker than one or more of the RS color standards, visually compare the sample with each of the color standards by looking through them at a light-colored background in diffuse light. The sample is viewed through its 8-inch thickness; and each RS color standard is viewed at right angles to one of the sides of its container.
