Dielectric Constant Table
Dielectric Constant (k) is a number relating the ability of a material to carry alternating current to the ability of vacuum to
carry alternating current. The capacitance created by the presence of the material is directly related to the Dielectric
Constant of the material.

Knowing the Dielectric Constant (k) of a material is needed to properly E F G H
design and apply instruments such as level controls using radar, RF I J K L
admittance, or capacitance technologies. There are also analytical M N O P

CLIPPER CONTROLS has compiled an extensive list of products with Dielectric Constants. Many of these Dielectric
Constants are given at specific temperatures. If your product's temperature is significantly different from those listed
there is a good chance that the Dielectric Constant may be different from the values listed.
The products in this reference are listed in alphabetical order and are grouped in sections by the first letter of their name.
Proper chemical names were used, and any trade names are the trademark of their respective owners. If you know the
correct spelling of the name of the product you wish to review then use the "Search" feature on the web browser to locate
the name in the list. You may also click on the letter from the alphabetical table to go directly to the beginning of that
alphabetic section.
