ASTM D4052 Density Meter:
DMA
- Perfect for density measurement in the petroleum industry
- Compliant with ASTM D4052 and ISO 12185
- Battery-powered, portable instrument weighing only 6.5 kg
- Direct sample filling via funnel to maximize throughput
The DMA 1002 Petro and DMA 1102 Petro are portable digital ASTM D4052 density meters built for rapid, reliable measurements in both laboratory and field environments. Engineered for simplicity and speed, they deliver ASTM-compliant results with minimal sample volume, quick sample filling, low training requirements, and straightforward operation.
Both instruments deliver fast, precise density readings, making them ideal for time-critical applications. Compact and rugged, they achieve performance even in the harshest environments. In addition to density, the DMA 1102 Petro also provides essential viscosity data from the same sample, offering a more complete picture of fluid properties in a single measurement step.
Key features
