GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
measuring equipment shall be made at the expense of Transporter,
except that the Shipper shall bear the expense of additional
tests made at its request if the inaccuracy is found to be two
percent (2%) or less.
3.4 Correction and Adjustment: If at any time any of the measuring
equipment is registering inaccurately by an amount less than two
percent (2%), previous readings shall be considered correct. If
the inaccuracy exceeds two percent (2%) at a reading correspond-
ing to the average hourly rate of flow, the previous readings of
such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any
inaccurate period definitely known or agreed upon, or if not so
known or agreed upon, for a period of one-half (1/2) of the
elapsed time since the last test not to exceed a correction
period of thirty (30) days. If the measuring equipment is out of
service, the volume of gas delivered during such period shall be
determined:
(a) By using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment
accurately registering; or
(b) If such check measuring equipment is not registering accur-
ately, but the percentage of error is ascertainable by a
calibration test, by using the data recorded, corrected to
zero error; or
(c) If neither of the methods provided in (a) and (b) above can
be used, by estimating the quantity delivered by reference
to deliveries under similar conditions during a period when
the equipment was registering accurately.
