Anton Paar’s DMA 35 Ex Petrol is the only intrinsically safe, portable density meter on the market  with ATEX II 2 G Ex ib IIB T4 and IECEx Ex ib IIB T4 Gb and ASTM D7777 and IP 559 standard compliance. This unique instrument, with its special housing, offers the perfect solution for monitoring flammable products in the petroleum industry. Measurements can be taken directly at the tank, truck or train, so there is no need to bring the sample to the lab.

DMA 35 Ex Petrol indicates specific gravity (SG) as well as °API, API Density, or API Gravity of petroleum products, to provide the correct reference temperature and product group, without the need for human calculations and their potential errors. This device will replace countless glass hydrometers and the need for large sample will become a thing of the past too.

DMA 35 Ex Petrol requires only 2 mL of sample, and provides results within a minute, which includes the time taken for filling the sample through the built-in pump, and cleaning which simplifies taking measurements in the field considerably. Housed in a rugged IP54-rated housing with a hard-glass front this instrument will withstand the knocks and spills of outdoor use.
