Testing to Quantify the Effects of Handling of Gas Dielectric Standard Capacitors

摘要

A test method known as the 'Handling and Stability Test' is currently being used at NBS as part of the requirement for the five-part-per-million calibration of gas-dielectric standard capacitors. This test is used to achieve qualitative information on the effects of mechanical shock from shipping and handling on standard capacitors and to rank them quantitatively with respect to these effects.
