pF

French to English Tech/Engineering
Nous avons fait quelques changements sur la carte pour augmenter la sensibilité de l’antenne : nous avons changé la valeur du condensateur C13 (maintenant C13 = 2.3 pF).

What does the unit pF refer to and is it also pF in English.

This is my translation:
We have made a few changes to the card to increase the sensitivity of the aerial: we have changed the value of the C13 condensor (now C13 = 2.3 pF).
Proposed translations (English)

neutral toubabou : I guess both are used

oui, mais en tant que métrologue dans l'âme, je prône l'unité des unités
agree Tony M : pF = picofarad, most commonly used as such in the UK at least
11 hrs
agree bistefano : pF only usable, µµF must be an error for just µF (apart for weird Gilbert's DOC, I wonder were he could dig it out ...)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "It seems that pF is the SI unit for the measure of capacitance and as so is internationally recognised. Thanks for your help. Let's hope Gilbert and Bistefano make up in time for Christmas. "
