Hi Bob, sorry to have caused you this much trouble, it is raised to the 3/2 power, not 3/4. I calculated using the former, but posted the latter, don't know why! I'll have to stop writing mails late at night, it obviously has an effect on accuracy!!! Ccox = ( (11.26 * H) + ( (16 * R) + ( 76.4 * R^(3/2) ) ) / (sqr H) pF Regards, Gavin
