GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
18. MEASUREMENT
18.1 MEASUREMENT STANDARDS
All meters (including Ultrasonic, orifice, turbine, rotary and
diaphragm type) shall be installed in accordance with the
following standards, where applicable:
A. Measurement of Gas by Multipath Ultrasonic Meters - AGA 9
B. Orifice Metering of Natural Gas - Specifications and
Installation Requirements - AGA 3; Part 2
C. Orifice Metering of Natural Gas - Natural Gas Applications -
AGA 3; Part 3
D. Measurement of Gas by Turbine Meters - AGA 7
E. Compressibility and Super compressibility for Natural Gas
and other Hydrocarbon Gases - AGA 8
F. Table of Physical Constants of Paraffin Hydrocarbons and
other Components of Natural Gas - GPA 2145
G. Flow Measurement Using Electronic Metering Systems - Section
1 Electronic Gas Measurement - API 21.1
18.2 UNIT OF MEASUREMENT AND METERING BASE
The volumetric measurement base shall be one (1) cubic foot of Gas
at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths pounds
per square inch absolute (14.73 psia), at a temperature base of
sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 F.), and without adjustment for water
vapor except as described in Section 18.5.
18.3 ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
For the purpose of measurement, calculations, and meter
calibration, the average absolute atmospheric (barometric)
pressure shall be based on the actual altitude of each Point of
measurement irrespective of variations in natural atmospheric
pressure from time-to-time. In the event electronic computer
measurement is used, the absolute Gas pressure may be measured
directly, using an absolute pressure measuring device or a gage
pressure corrected to absolute for continuous input to the
electronic computer.
