2.2 Meter Handling
When a TEFLON lined meter is specified, two optional liner protector plates (one on each flange
face) are factory installed (when specified at time of order). These plates serve to contain the flared
ends of the liner, and to prevent damage to the liner during installation and handling. These protector
plates are attached to the meter with flat head screws that securely hold the liner in place. If the
pressure on the liner is relieved, the TEFLON will tend to curl away from the flange.
These protector
plates must remain in place when the meter is installed. Refer to Figure 2-1.
During shipment, the liner is protected by wood or composition protectors as shown in Figure 2-2;
these are removed before the meter is installed; leave them in position while moving the meter to the
installation site.
To place the meter in the pipeline a sling and hoist may be necessary. Do not pass a rope or wire
sling through the meter; the liner will be damaged if the meter is supported by the liner. Lift the meter
as shown in Figure 2-2.
Table 2-1 lists the weights of the meters by size and flange classification. Weights shown are
approximate and should be used only as a guide when installing the meter.
