INTERIOR LIGHTING 10-127

Color Reproduction
All persons who are responsible for quality control in color reproduction
should use illumination of the same spectral characteristics. A screened
table illuminated to a level
of 50 footcandles of con-
stant known spectral dis-
tribution is recommended
for color inspection. It
may be used with uniform,
equally satisfactory results
by day and night shifts.
It should be conveniently
located with respect to a
group of presses. The
screening surfaces should
have a nonselective reflec-
tance, that is, they must be
either neutral white, gray,
or black. A color-inspec-
tion table may be combined
with a mark-out booth.
(See Fig. 10-95.)

tion of glare when observing type impression.
PETROLEUM
AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
In oil and petroleum
products manufacturing plants, various types of
lighting
equipment are utilized to provide illumination to facilitate dif-
ferent
visual tasks. When planning an installation, a maintenance factor
not greater than 0.65 should be used unless detailed maintenance data are
available.
Numerical values of illumination recommended in the following
paragraphs are maintained
values based on this factor.
Process Equipment Buildings
In oil- and water-pump
houses, compressor and filter buildings, etc.,
uniformly distributed
illumination levels of 8 to 10 footcandles are recom-
mended. Because of piping and equipment located near, the ceiling in
such areas, a symmetrical layout and uniform mounting height of luminaires
must in some cases be modified in order to prevent shadows.
Two general types of luminaires may be used. Where locations are
described as Class
1, Group D hazardous, explosion-proof luminaires
equipped with strong reflectors such as shown in Fig. 10-71, or with other
suitable types, should be used. At nonhazardous locations (pump rooms
for processing heavy oils, etc.) in which a corrosive but nonexplosive
atmosphere prevails, vapor-tight luminaires such as shown in Fig. 10-96
may be employed. Luminaires within reach, or otherwise exposed to
breakage, should be equipped with metal guards.
