Drawing on more than 55 years of experience in benchtop density measurement, the DMA 4002, DMA 5002, and DMA 6002 modular benchtop density meters combine advanced automation with exceptional precision and reliability. As the fastest and most modular benchtop density meters in Anton Paar’s range, they deliver four-digit results in just 20 seconds, driven by U-Pulse technology based on the patented Pulsed Excitation Method for best-in-class accuracy.
These instruments can store up to 10,000 measurements and achieve an accuracy of up to six digits. Everyday operation is made easier with features such as U-Dry, one-touch measurement, and a measurement status indicator, while compliance with a broad range of standards provides added confidence. The DMA: consistently superior.
