2.4.1 Meter safety for hoist rings and lifting slings
A Rosemount Gas 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.
DANGER
LIFTING A ROSEMOUNT ULTRASONIC METER WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT
The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Ultrasonic Meter
ONLY.
The instructions below do not address lifting the meter while it is attached, bolted, or
welded to meter tubes, piping, or other fittings.
Using these instructions to maneuver the 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.
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.
WARNING
Crushing hazard
During meter installation or removal, always place the meter on a stable platform or
surface that supports its assembled weight.
Failure to comply could allow the meter to roll, resulting in serious injury or equipment
damage.
NOTICE
Prior to lifting the meter, refer to the Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter nameplate or outline
dimensional (general arrangement) drawing for the assembled weight.
When lifting a meter by itself, Emerson recommends two methods. These methods are:
• Using appropriately rated Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings installed in the meter
end flanges.
• Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the 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. For more information on these two methods, refer to the
following sections.
Appropriate safety-engineered swivel hoist rings in meter end
flanges
Rosemount Ultrasonic meters come equipped with a tapped hole located on the top of
each meter body end flange. A flat machined surface surrounds each tapped hole. This
feature provides complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and an OSHA-
compliant Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Ring as shown in

If any damage is found, contact Emerson Flow services before putting meter into
service. Refer to the Emerson.com/global
