Use of appropriate safety engineered swivel hoist rings in meter end flanges 33
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
Ultr
asonic Meter end flanges.
• Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the Daniel
Ul
trasonic Meter.
Both methods must be used in conjunction with all appropriate company hoisting and rigging
sta
ndards 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.
2.3.1 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 2-7). This
feature provides complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and an OSHA
co
mpliant Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Ring as shown in Figure 2-8.
Operators SHA
LL NOT use Eye Bolts (see Figure 2-8) in the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter flange tapped
holes to aid in lifting or maneuvering the unit.
Operators SH
ALL NOT use other Hoist Rings that do not fully seat flush with the counter bore on
the top of the meter flanges.
