6 FAQs about [Capacitor substitution measurement]
Can a step-up method be used to calibrate a decade capacitor?
capacitance difference. An excellent description of a step-up method applied to tbe calibraLion of decade capacitors for both capacitance and dissipation factor has been described by Ford and AstbUl'Y of the British National Physical Laboratory .
How to calibrate a val'iable capacitor by step-up methods?
a val'iable capacitor by step-up methods. If the variable air capacitor, X, having a range from 100 to 1,100 pf, is to be calibrated at every 100-pf division mark, it is necessary to have a fixed air capacitor, S, of approximately 100 pf that can be connected in parallel with the variable capacitor under test in a precisely repeatable manner.

What is the true capacitance of an uncalibrated 100 pF capacitor?
Procedure and Computations The true value of each of the capacitors involved in the calibration may be defined as the nominal value plus a correction; thus, the true capacitance of the uncalibrated 100-pf capacitor is S= Sn+s, where Sn= lOO (exactly) and s is the small correction.
