Density meter: DMA™ 5000 M

The most precise digital density meter in the world

With its six-digit accuracy DMA™ 5000 M is the most precise digital density meter you can get. The patented Pulsed Excitation Method delivers the most stable density results based on comprehensive knowledge of the oscillation characteristics. The influence of viscosity is compensated twice as effectively as ever before. It is ideal for your high-end R&D applications and sets the tone at authorities as well as standards organizations.

A revolutionary measuring principle for the most accurate density meter in the world

The unique design of the measuring cell, a novel way of evaluating the oscillation characteristics, and many other innovative features lead to the following:

Leading viscosity correction

Automatic viscosity correction across the entire viscosity range of samples
Eliminates viscosity-related errors twice as effectively as ever before
No viscosity standards required

The most excellent repeatability and reproducibility

Repeatability up to the 7th digit
100 % improved reproducibility
Optimized production process due to minimized loss of sample
Unbeatable efficiency in your workflows

ThermoBalance™ temperature management

No temperature-related fluctuations
No temperature-related aging effects on the measuring cell
Change between temperatures quickly without drifts and rely on immediate temperature stability

The benchmark for density measurement

DMA™ 5000 M is the go-to product for the highest authorities when perfection is required. The unshakeable density results from DMA™ 5000 M are essential in work at:

Standards organizations
Government laboratories
Major distilleries and taxation offices
High-end research in all industrial branches

The most in-depth insight into your samples

The U-View™ camera feature displays and stores live images of the oscillating U-tube sensor and the entire filled-in sample so you have the details at hand any time you want
The unique combination of U-View™ and FillingCheck™, the automatic real-time bubble detection feature, monitors the entire measurement sequence and allows later verification of the results, which is particularly useful when using automatic sampling systems
