MG16

Why choose it

The MG16 meter is a volumetric measuring instrument with deformable walls for natural gas, manufactured gas, LPG and technical gases, for industrial use.

Designed and built according to the highest standards and in compliance with EN1359 standard and the MID Directive.

Measurement precision and accuracy are guaranteed by the production control process and by an automated calibration system, which is used at the Metrology Laboratory on 100% of the meters produced.

The quality of the plastic and metal components renders the meters highly sensitive, even with a minimum gas flow, and ensures excellent performance over time. 

The accuracy and reliability of the measurement over time is guaranteed by the consolidated mechanical principle of the measurement itself, which is performed using a membrane and spool valve system.

Normative requirements

  • European Directive 2014/32/EU (MID)
  • Standard EN 1359:1998/A1:2006

Characteristics

  1. Membrane in synthetic material.
  2. Casing available in galvanised sheet steel; painted with polyester paint. 
  3. The meter with galvanised steel sheet casing guarantees excellent corrosion protection and is resistant to high "T" temperatures according to EN1359:1998/A1:2006.
  4. High measurement stability.
  5. Low noise and pressure absorption.
  6. Equipped with mechanical anti-return device.
  7. All models are designed to be connected to a low frequency (LF) pulse generating sensor.
  8. Measurement and counting units are not responsive to magnetic tampering.
  9. Meters are available on request with different types of connection and inter-axis distance.
  10. Mechanical transmission of the measurement to the dial.
  11. RAL 7000 standard colours (other colours on request).
  12. Cert. B n° I-2142-MI002-TG051 Rev. 0 MID - 26.10.2023.

Functionality

The difference in pressure between the inlet and outlet of the meter induces the cyclic filling and emptying of the measuring chamber through the alternating movement of the deformable membrane. 

The alternation motion is converted into rotary motion by the kinematics measuring device, consisting of spool valves and a connecting crank-rod coupling.

The counter dial, which records the measurement in compliance with current standards, is driven by a mechanical shaft.
