Heavy meters (those over 50 lb. [22 kg]), and even lighter meters that must be installed in
elevated or difficult-to-reach places, usually require additional consideration when
transporting or lifting them into their installation location.

•

Safe handling during transportation and installation is the responsibility of the
installer – know and follow all safety practices and regulations for your facility and
for any lifting/rigging equipment being used

•

A professional rigging crew with proper equipment should be used

•

Typical equipment for handling heavy meters includes the following:

Fixed hoist boom trucks or cranes

Continuous web belt slings

Eye to eye web belt slings

Two leg wire rope slings

•

Lift a meter by its case or on the case side of its process fittings.

•

Do not lift a meter by its electronics (junction box, transmitter, or any electrical
fittings) or by its purge fittings

•

It may be useful to identify the meter center of gravity

•

Protect the sealed surfaces on the process fittings with factory-installed flange
protectors or comparable field-installed protection
