What is Terminal Capacitance?

Terminal Capacitance is the MINIMUM amount of capacitance present when NO product is present in the vessel. This is (1) The capacitance of the probe gland (and sheath and cooling extension, if used) PLUS (2) The capacitance of the coaxial cable when remote mounting the instrument (not applicable for the Model 158A or 310) PLUS (3) The capacitance generated between the probe and the vessel with AIR as the dielectric. In other words, it is the absolute minimum value of capacitance generated in that particular probe/vessel installation with the vessel empty. See RF Level Controls Selection Guide for further details.
