Handheld Density Meter: DMA 35 Basic
The entry-level handheld density meter with a built-in pump takes samples directly from the storage container and measures on-site — results as density or concentration in °Brix, %v/v alcohol, or %w/w H₂SO₄, ideal for quick checks in production.
Manufacturer: Anton Paar — Austria
Overview
DMA 35 Basic is the entry-level handheld density meter that takes samples directly from the storage container with the help of the built-in pump and measures them on-site. Results are given as density or concentration, for example in °Brix, %v/v alcohol, or %w/w H₂SO₄. Because of its lightweight and flat design, hard-to-reach samples, such as automotive batteries stored on narrow racks or wine samples out of stacked wine barrels, can be conveniently measured.
The Benefits of a Handheld Density Meter over a Glass Hydrometer
- No waste of sample: only 2 mL required
- Sample is taken directly from the container using the built-in pump
- Integrated conversion tables: results are shown in the preferred unit without the need for further calculations
- Wide measuring range: one digital instrument replaces a whole set of hydrometers
- Automatic temperature compensation: results available in seconds
- Storage of data and easy data transfer: no chance for errors when writing down results manually
- User-independent results
A Rugged Lightweight Instrument to Accompany You All Day Long
- The lightest portable density meter on the market
- Flat design, easy to carry and store
- Fits into tight spaces in between narrow racks (e.g. in the winery or in battery production)
- Protective suitcase, rubber housing, and carrying strap available to support secure on-site operation
- Leak-proof design (IP54), ready to cope with sample spills
- The wetted parts have proven resistance to common samples – from solvents to acids.
Smart Features to Streamline Your Daily Workflow
- Backlit display and measuring cell for convenient operation, also in dark surroundings
- Store and select sample IDs to allocate a measured result to a sampling location
- Stored results are conveniently printed or exported via the integrated IrDA interface
