Cap Meter Readings
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 2016 3:53 pm
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
