General Information

Description

The Keysight 16380C Capacitance Standard Set consists of three precision capacitors 0.01

µF (16385A), 0.1 µF (16386A), and 1 µF (16387A). One precision capacitor 10 µF

(16388A) is also added with the option. All four capacitors have high capacitance stabillity

and are virtually unaffected by changes in environmental temperature, ensuring

measurement repeatability and reliability.

The 16380C was designed for use in calibrating precision impedance measuring

instruments (such as LCR meters, impedance analyzers, etc.) that have capacitance ranges

between 0.01 µF and 10 µF. The 16380C can be used to directly certify capacitance

measurement accuracy over the 0.01 µF to 10 µF range.

Contents

The 16380C contents are listed in Table 1-1.

Initial Inspection

Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the shipping container or cushioning material

is damaged, it should be kept until the contents of the shipment have been checked for

completeness and the instrument has been checked mechanically.The contents of the

shipment should be as shown in Table 1-1 If the shipment is incomplete, or if there is

mechanical damage or defects, notify the nearest Keysight office. If the shipping container

is damaged, or the cushioning material shows signs of stress, notify the carrier as well as

the Keysight office. Keep the shipping materials for carrier’s inspection. The Keysight

office will arrange for repair or replacement at Keysight Option, without waiting for claim

settlement.
