(see quot. 1943). Hefner amyl lamp n. (also Hefner amyl-acetate lamp) a lamp of standard dimensions and with standard parts burning amyl acetate. Also Hefner flame, Hefner kerze (German, = candle), Hefner standard, Hefner unit. Also occasionally in full Hefner-Alteneck lamp, etc. ΘΚΠ the world > matter > physics > electromagnetic radiation > light > intensity of light, luminosity > [noun] > degree of intensity > instrument photometer1779 photoscope1872 spectrophotometer1881 light meter1889 Hefner1891 illuminometer1895 luxmeter1910 lumeter1911 telephotometer1915 1891 Jrnl. Soc. Chem. Industry 10 685/2 A discussion on the subject of amyl acetate, the fuel of the Hefner lamp, has recently taken place. 1896 Electrician 2 Oct. 738/2 The standard of light will be either the Vernon-Harcourt or the Hefner-Amyl-Acetate. 1898 Electr. Rev. 42 795/1 As a result of the investigations of the German Reichsanstalt, the Hefner lamp alone fulfils all technical requirements. The light of the Hefner lamp is designated a Hefner candle. 1898 Electr. Rev. 42 795/1 The Hefner candle was accepted as the international unit of light by the Electrical Congress at Geneva in 1896. 1901 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) A. 196 26 Knowing the value of the energy of the visible light of the Hefner standard, the heating effect of the rays can be deduced. 1901 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) A. 196 37 The chief source of difficulty in the comparison is the difference in colour between the light from the Hefner lamp and a fluorescent screen. 1902 Encycl. Brit. XXX. 235/2 For accurate scientific purposes the best standard is the Hefner-Alteneck or amyl-acetate lamp. 1911 Encycl. Brit.

Sheppard Photo-chem. 24 The light-unit 1 HK (Hefner-Kerze or Hefner candle) is taken as the mean of protracted observations on a Hefner lamp at the Physik. Techn. Reichsanstalt in Charlottenburg. 1917 G. Martin Industr. & Manuf. Chem. II. 357 The Hefner candle power is equal to about 0·9 British standard candle. 1943 Gloss. Terms Electr. Engin. (B.S.I.) 112 Hefner candle, a unit of luminous intensity equal to that of the Hefner lamp burning under specified conditions of atmospheric pressure and humidity. It is the official unit of luminous intensity in Germany and is accepted internationally as equivalent to 0·9 candle. 1963 H. G. Jerrard & D. B. McNeill Dict. Sci. Units 30 Germany, however, continued to use the Hefner candle (Hefnerkerze HK) unit which was derived from the Hefner lamp and had a luminous intensity of about 0·9 International candles. < as lemmas |
