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.

2.4.1

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 

.

Operators SHALL NOT use Eye Bolts (

) in the Daniel 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.
