Cap Meter Readings

[jethrow]

I've just assembled my Cap Meter and was wondering how to interpret the reading.

Tested the following caps with readings as shown:

Capacitor (uf) Reading

.001 1.07n
.01 10.6n
.1 .1p
1 1.12u
10 10.6u
100 100u
470 490u

Is the "n" for nanofarads?

Is the 'p" for picofarads?

I was expecting the .1uf capacitor to read as 100n instead of .1p.

Am I reading this right?

Thanks in advance

Yes, 'n' is for nanofarads and 'p' for picofarads.

Do you have another 0.1u cap. It may be the one you tested was open inside. All other readings are pretty close.
