Meter safety for hoist rings and lifting slings

A Daniel Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter can be safely lifted and maneuvered into and out of
a meter run for installation or service by obeying the following instructions.
FALLING AND CRUSHING HAZARD
Lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter with Other Equipment
The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Daniel 3812
Liquid Ultrasonic Meter ONLY. The instructions below do not address lifting the Daniel
ultrasonic meter while it is attached, bolted, or welded to meter tubes, piping, or other
fittings.
The operator must refer to their company's hoisting and rigging standards, or the "DOE-
STD-1090-2004 Hoisting and Rigging" standard if such company standards do not exist,
for lifting and maneuvering any assembled meter tube and associated piping.
Using these instructions to maneuver the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter while it is still
attached, bolted, or welded to a meter tube, piping, or other fitting can result in death,
serious injury or equipment damage.
CRUSHING HAZARD
During meter installation or removal, always place the unit on a stable platform or
surface that supports its assembled weight. Provide support for the dual transmitter
electronics assemblies during installation and removal.
Failure to comply can cause the meter to roll and the electrical wiring conduit
connections to be severed, resulting in serious injury or equipment damage.
NOTICE
Prior to lifting the unit, refer to the Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter nameplate or
outline dimensional (general arrangement) drawing for the assembled weight.
When lifting a Daniel ultrasonic meter by itself, Daniel recommends two methods. These
methods are:
• Using appropriately rated Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings installed in the Daniel
Ultrasonic Meter end flanges.
• Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the Daniel
Ultrasonic Meter.
Both methods must be used in conjunction with all appropriate company hoisting and
rigging standards or the DOE-STD-1090-2004 HOISTING AND RIGGING standard if such
company standards do not exist. Refer to the following sections for more information on
these two methods.
