2.5Meter 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.

HOISTING AND LIFTING HAZARDLifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter with Other Equipment

The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Daniel 3818 LNG 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.

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 may result in equipment damage, serious injury, or death.

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.

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 do so could allow the meter to roll and the electrical wiring conduit connections to be severed, resulting in serious injury or equipment damage.

Prior to lifting the unit, refer to the Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter nameplate or outline dimensional (general arrangement) drawing for the assembled weight.
