GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
2. MEASUREMENT (continued)
applicable Rate Schedules in this Tariff shall be determined as
follows:
(a) For the purpose of measurement and meter calibration, the
average absolute atmospheric pressure for each Point of
Receipt and Delivery shall be based on the actual elevation
or location of the meter at the Point of Receipt or Delivery
above sea level.
(b) The temperature of the Gas passing through the meters shall,
when reasonably deemed necessary for computing Gas
quantities, be determined for any Day by the continuous use
of a recording thermometer or its equivalent so installed
that it may properly record the temperature of the Gas
flowing through the meters. The arithmetic average of the
temperature recorded each Day shall be used in computing Gas
quantity, or, if not inconsistent with Transporter's
operations, instantaneous temperature measurements may be
applied to metering instruments for quantity computation.
(c) The specific gravity of the Gas passing through the meters
shall, when reasonably deemed necessary for computing Gas
quantities, be determined for any one Day by the use of a
gravitometer recording continuously, unless otherwise
agreed. The arithmetic average of the specific gravity of
the Gas or, if not inconsistent with Transporter's
operations, continuous instantaneous specific gravity
measurement, may be applied to metering instruments to
provide the quantity computation. Otherwise, the specific
gravity of the Gas shall be determined by approved methods
not inconsistent with Transporter's operations with such
reasonable frequency as is found expedient in practice.
(d) The deviation of the Gas from Ideal Gas Laws shall be
calculated according to the recommendations of the AGA
Measurement Committee
