Make sure that this instruction manual is easily accessible to all personnelinvolved with the instrument. Follow all hints and instructions contained in this instruction manual toensure the correct use and safe functioning of DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. The instruction manual at hand does not claim to address all safety issuesassociated with the use of the instrument and samples. It is yourresponsibility to establish health and safety practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations. Anton Paar GmbH only warrants the proper functioning of DMA 4100/4500/5000 M if no adjustments have been made to the mechanics, electronics,and firmware. Only use DMA 4100/4500/5000 M for the purpose described in thisinstruction manual. Anton Paar GmbH is not liable for damages caused byincorrect use of DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. The results delivered by DMA 4100/4500/5000 M not only depend on thecorrect functioning of the instrument, but also on various other factors. Wetherefore recommend you have the results checked (e.g. plausibility tested)by skilled personnel before consequential actions are taken based on theresults.Installation and use 10DMA 4100/4500/5000 M is not an explosion-proof instrument and thereforemust not be operated in areas with risk of explosion.C76IB003EN-E
2 Safety Instructions The installation procedure shall only be carried out by authorized personnelwho are familiar with the installation instructions. Do not use any accessories or wearing parts other than those supplied orapproved by Anton Paar GmbH. Make sure all operators are trained to use the instrument safely and correctlybefore starting any applicable operations. In case of damage or malfunction, do not continue operating DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. Do not operate the instrument under conditions which couldresult in damage to goods and/or injuries and loss of life. If liquid was spilled over the instrument, disconnect the instrument from themains. Clean and dry the housing of the instrument. If you have a suspicionthat liquid got into the instrument, have the instrument cleaned and checkedfor electrical safety by a service technician. Ensure that spilled liquids cannot get into plug connections or venting slots ofelectrical equipment.Moving the instrument Make sure that all hoses and the measuring cell are empty before you moveor lift DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. To move or lift DMA 4100/4500/5000 M, place one hand at the back and gripthe ledge at the top. Place the other hand at the front, under the display.There is a hollow for your fingers. When carrying the system, keep it close to your body.Handling of chemicalsC76IB003EN-E Observe all safety regulations regarding the handling of the samples,cleaning, rinsing and waste liquids (e.g. use of safety glasses, gloves,respiratory protection, exhaustion, etc.). Check the chemical resistance of all materials (see Appendix A.2) whichcome into contact with the sample or cleaning liquid before starting themeasurement. Make sure that different liquids (samples and cleaning liquids) or gases thatcome into contact with each other are chemically compatible. They shouldnot react exothermally or produce any solid particles that might stick to theinner wall of the measuring cell. Prior to starting a measurement or cleaning procedure, make sure that allparts that come into contact with fluids, especially the measuring cell, theinjection adapters, hoses and waste container, are properly connected and ingood condition.11
2 Safety Instructions Prior to starting a measurement or cleaning procedure, check the injectionadapters for leak tightness (see Chapter 7.2).Special precautions for flammable chemicals Observe and adhere to your national safety regulations for handling themeasured samples (e.g. use of safety goggles, gloves, respiratory protectionetc.). Keep any sources of ignition, like sparks and open flames, at a safe distancefrom DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. Place DMA 4100/4500/5000 M on a laboratory bench with a non-flammablesurface preferably made of bricks, ceramics or stoneware. Only store the minimum required amount of sample, cleaning agents andother flammable materials near the DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. Do not spill sample/cleaning agents or leave their containers uncovered.Immediately remove spilled sample/cleaning agents. Make sure that the setup location is sufficiently ventilated. The environmentof DMA 4100/4500/5000 M must be kept free of flammable gases andvapors. Connect DMA 4100/4500/5000 M to the mains via a safety switch located ata safe distance from the instrument. In an emergency, turn off the powerusing this switch instead of the power switch on DMA 4100/4500/5000 M. Supply a fire extinguisher. Ensure the sufficient supervision of DMA 4100/4500/5000 M duringoperation.Service and repairs Service and repair procedures may only be carried out by authorizedpersonnel or by Anton Paar GmbH. Prior to sending DMA 4100/4500/5000 M to your representative or AntonPaar GmbH for repair or service, make sure that all liquids and solvents arecompletely drained out of the instrument.Disposal 12Concerning the disposal of DMA 4100/4500/5000 M, observe the legalrequirements in your country.C76IB003EN-E
3 The Measuring Principle3 The Measuring PrincipleDefinition of density and specific gravityThe density ρ of a sample is defined as mass divided by volume:mρ ----VThe specific gravity SG is calculated by dividing the density of a sample by thedensity of pure water at 20 C:ρ SampleSG ---------------ρ WaterDensity and Specific Gravity values are highly temperature-dependent.The oscillating U-tube methodThe sample is introduced into a U-shaped borosilicate glass tube that is beingexcited to vibrate at its characteristic frequency. The characteristic frequencychanges depending on the density of the sample. Through a precisedetermination of the characteristic frequency and a mathematical conversion, thedensity of the sample can be measured.The density is calculated from the quotient of the period of oscillations of the Utube and the reference oscillator:2density KA Q f 1 – KB f 2KA, KB.Apparatus constantsQ .Quotient of the period of oscillation of the U-tube dividedby the period of oscillation of the reference oscillatorf1, f2 .Correction terms for temperature, viscosity andnonlinearityConcentration measurementIn binary mixtures, the density of the mixture is a function of its composition. Thus,by using density/concentration tables, the density value of a binary mixture canbe used to calculate its composition. This is also possible with so-called quasibinary mixtures. These are mixtures containing two major components and someadditional components which are present in very small concentrations comparedto the two main components. Many decarbonated soft drinks, for example, can beconsidered to be quasi binary solutions of sugar in water because theconcentration of flavors and acids are very small compared to sugar and water.Thus, the sugar concentration can be measured with a density meter.C76IB003EN-E13
4 The Instrument - An OverviewNote that the accuracy of the concentration measurement depends on theaccuracy of the instrument, but also on the slope of the density/concentrationcorrelation. This means, for example, that a density measurement with anaccuracy of 0.00001 g/cm3 will be converted into an ethanol value with asignificantly smaller accuracy of 0.025 % w/w. The accuracy of some typicalconcentration measurements is given in Appendix A.1.4 The Instrument - An OverviewThe DMA M series instruments are density and concentration meters that weredeveloped to combine highest precision with easy operation and robust design.The measurement is based on the oscillating U-tube method which was inventedby Dr. Hans Stabinger and Dr. Hans Leopold at the Joanneum Research Institute(Graz, Austria) and first introduced onto the market by Anton Paar in 1967.Features and BenefitsAccuracyYour DMA M series instrument is equipped with the world’s most advanced digitaldensity measurement technology: The period of oscillation of the U-tube is measured by optical pickups. Two integrated Pt 100 platinum thermometers together with Peltier elementsprovide an extremely precise thermostatting of the sample.
