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.
