ASTM D4052 Density Meter: DMA 1002 Petro and DMA 1102 Petro
The DMA 1002 Petro and DMA 1102 Petro portable digital density meters are built for rapid, reliable ASTM D4052 measurements in laboratory and field environments — ASTM-compliant results with minimal sample volume, quick sample exchange, and simple operation.

Manufacturer: Anton Paar — Austria
Overview
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.
150 % Higher Throughput
- 150 % higher throughput compared to manual methods
- Faster results to avoid out-of-spec production
- Temperature equilibration in less than one minute
- Simple Fill funnel[1]: no pipette or syringe required
[1] For middle distillate fuels such as diesel and gasoline, filling using a syringe is recommended.
Ensure Compliance
- ASTM D4052 density measurement included
- Compliance with ASTM D396, D1655, D6823, and other standards
Portability, Maximum Flexibility
The DMA 1002 Petro and DMA 1102 Petro are portable, battery-powered ASTM D4052 density meters designed for maximum flexibility. Ideal for fieldwork and remote locations, they perform fast, reliable, and compliant measurements right at the sampling site – no need to transport fluids to the lab. The DMA 1102 Petro also measures viscosity from the same sample.
Error-Free Digital Data Handling
- Automatic calculation, digital data recording, and storage
- Data export from device to a PC or USB drive
- One-click data access from automatic kinematic viscometer
- Compatible with AP Connect lab execution system
Enhanced Safety
- Metal measuring cell to eliminate glass breakage
- Built-in Peltier thermostatting for fast temperature control
- Field use without hazardous solvents or flammable baths
