Density of Asphalt 10 Times Faster

Published over 11 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Analytical instrumentation.

There is a new, no-hassle and fast way to get the most out of your “bottom of the barrel” products - a robust and quick density meter which measures heavy products at up to 200 °C and takes less than two minutes to clean after use. The new DMA 4200 M, from Anton Paar (Austria), is built to measure the density of asphalt, bitumen, vacuum gas residual, bunker oils and other heavy fuels.

DMA 4200 M is a benchtop density meter which measures 10 times faster than pycnometers and 5 times faster than traditional hydrometers. It requires only 2 milliliters of sample and 50 % less solvent for cleaning.

The heart of DMA 4200 M is a U-tube made of Hastelloy, which has a much higher chemical resistance to hydrochloric acid and sour gas than stainless steel. With DMA 4200 M you get precise and reliable results for years with no risk of breakages or corrosion.
