I've heard of value, ESR, leakage, and dielectric absorption tests for e caps, but this is the first I've heard of power factor.

I use an old heatkit condenser check (uses an eye tube, and a balanced bridge cirsuit for check caps) good of vintage gear esp leakage test at rated voltage, but can not check caps in circuit. there is a "power factor" adjustment, you turn to null the eye tube, which I think is about the same as ESR.
