The Meriam Instruments MGF16BN pressure gauge successfully meets the demands of modern society for operational pressure measurement. With a standard accuracy of ±0.25% of full scale and an optional accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale, the pressure range can reach up to 5000 PSIG. Compound gauges for both positive pressure and vacuum measurements are also available.

The display features a 4.5-digit backlit LCD with 0.5-inch high digits, showing engineering units and auxiliary settings. Depending on the gauge's measurement range, each instrument includes up to 15 field-selectable engineering units. Selectable units include PSIG, kPa, MPa, mbar, bar, atm, kg/cm², g/cm², cmH₂O, oz/in², ftH₂O, inH₂O, mmHg, and inHg.

Other standard features include min/max capture, zeroing, password-protected programming lock, adjustable display shutdown time, and field recalibration. The housing is made of ABS/polycarbonate and is rated NEMA 4X. Wetted parts are constructed from 316L stainless steel, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of process fluids. The process connection is made via a 1/4-inch MNPT 316L stainless steel fitting. The gauge is powered by two AA alkaline batteries.

Typical applications include instrumentation and industrial process control, hydraulic systems, pneumatics, industrial gases, and OEM applications.
