WARNING
FALLING AND CRUSHING HAZARD
Lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter with Other Equipment
The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Daniel 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.
WARNING
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 3814 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.
2.4.1 Use of appropriate safety engineered swivel hoist rings
in meter end flanges
Daniel 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 (see
Figure
2-6 ). This feature provides complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and
an OSHA compliant Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Ring as shown in Figure 2-7 .
