Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Meter Installation Manual Section 2: Mechanical installation
3-9000-771Rev A May 2012
Use of appropriate safety engineered swivel hoist rings in meter end flanges 23
When lifting an 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.
2.5.1 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. This feature provides
complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and an OSHA compliant Safety
Engineered Swivel Hoist Ring as shown in Figure 2-5.
Operators SHALL NOT use eye bolts (see Figure 2-5) in the Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic
Meter flange tapped holes to aid in lifting or maneuvering the unit.
Operators SHALL NOT use other hoist rings that do not fully seat flush with the counter bore on
the top of the meter flanges.
