A liquid transfer station has been built and installed in a fume hood. The dielectric properties of n-heptane and 2-heptanone have been measured using the coaxial structure of the Model 100-1, S/N 1 as the liquid measurement cell. The low (10 kHz to 1 Mhz) frequency value of the relative dielectric constant {epsilon} r was measured with a HP 4275 Multifrequency LCR Meter. Also time domain reflection (TDR) and insertion time domain transmission (TDT) measurements were made using a HP 54120/54121A oscilloscope. The value of the quasi-static relative dielectric constant for n-heptane was found to be 1.923 while that for 2-heptanone was 11.735.
