The DMA™ 4200 M density meter from Anton Paar improves, accelerates, and simplifies density measurements of:

  • bitumen/asphalt
  • crude oil
  • fuels
  • liquid petroleum gas (LPG)
  • and other heavy petroleum products.

DMA™ 4200 M measures the density at temperatures up to 200°C and elevated pressures up to 500 bar. For asphalt/bitumen measurements, DMA™ 4200 M delivers results significantly quicker than pycnometers or hydrometers. It also requires only small amounts of sample and cleaning solvent.

DMA™ 4200 M: The density meter for exceptional conditions

  • 10 times faster asphalt/bitumen measurements than with pycnometers or hydrometers
  • Density measurements at up to 200ºC and 500 bar
  • FillingCheck™ for bubblefree filling and compliance with ASTM D4052 and ASTM D5002
  • New viscosity correction method for accuracy of up to 0.0002 g/cm³
  • Temperfect™ feature allows immediate density measurements at any temperature between 0°C and 150°C at ambient pressure
  • Syringe heating accessory for easy filling 
  • Gesture control for clean operation
  • LPG adapter for easy LPG filling.

Easy filling and fast cleaning of heavy samples

The constant temperature control from the syringe to the inlet and outlet of DMA™ 4200 M ensures highly fluid bitumen/asphalt or residual fuel oil during the filling procedure. The rapid cleaning procedure will save you valuable time: Calculate one minute of cleaning and one minute for drying and you are ready for the next measurement.

Patented method

DMA™ 4200 M applies the patented new Repeated Fade-out Method and provides endurance at high temperatures and pressures. The patented Repeated Fade-out Method delivers the most stable density results based on comprehensive knowledge of the oscillation characteristics. These and other unique features make DMA™ 4200 M a must-have tool for QC and research labs.
