Description
The RDC-1 Dielectric Cell is designed for measurement of Dielectric Constant on rigid flat materials in accordance with ASTM-D150. For more information on the ASTM D150 Standard Test Methods for AC Loss Characteristics and Permittivity (Dielectric Constant) of Solid Electrical Insulation see How the RDC-1 Rigid Dielectric Cell in combination with the 7660 Precision LCR Meter simplified the measurement of Dielectric Constant and Dissipation Factor in accordance with ASTM D 150, IPC-TM-650 and IEC-60250 . The standard ASTM D150 Standard Test Methods for AC Loss Characteristics and Permittivity (Dielectric Constant) of Solid Electrical Insulation can be purchased at the ASTM website. see ASTM D150 . Below is a video showing the RDC-1 Rigid Dielectric Cell along with the IET Labs 7660 Precision LCR Meter . This combination makes for a simple and flexible system for the measurement of Dielectric Constant and Dissipation Factor.
Key Features of the RDC-1 Rigid Dielectric Cell:
- Designed for rigid flat materials up to 38 mm (1.50 inches) in diameter and 10 mm (0.40 inches) thick.
- Precision micrometer adjustment for exact electrode spacing
- Dual-electrode design with a guard for accurate high-frequency testing
- Includes 5 mm and 38 mm interchangeable electrodes to accommodate different sample sizes
- Comes with a PTFE Calibration Standard for system verification before testing
- Usable frequency range up to 30 MHz
