42 Daniel 3400 Series Ultrasonic Flow Meter lifting instructions and precautions
Section 3: Installation Reference, Installation, and Operations Manual
June 2013 3-9000-743 Rev S
A Daniel Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter can be safely lifted and maneuvered into and out of a meter
run for installation or service by obeying the following instructions.
When only lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter by itself, Daniel recommends two methods. These
methods are:
1. Using an appropriately rated Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings Installed in the
Daniel Ultrasonic Meter end flanges (Refer to Section 3.2.1)
2. Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the Daniel
Ultrasonic Meter (Refer to Section 3.1.2)
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.
LIFTING HAZARD
Lifting Hazard for Daniel Ultrasonic meters with Original Equipment Eyebolts
For Daniel Ultrasonic meters with threaded eyebolts, the eyebolts may be safely used to
lift the meter if ALL of the following conditions are met:
• They have been inspected and show no signs of corrosion, scarring, or
damage (including bending)
• They have not been left in the meter after installation and exposed to the
environment
• A spread bar is used during lifting to eliminate angular loading
If any of the conditions described above can not be met, the operator must remove,
destroy, and discard the “Eye Bolt” immediately and use slings around meter body as
outlined in these instructions in conjunction with company approved hoisting and
rigging procedures or the DOE-STD-1090-2004 HOISTING AND RIGGING standard if
such company standards do not exist.
