8.4 Test of Meters.
(a) The accuracy of custody transfer measurement equipment
shall be verified at reasonable intervals and, if
requested, in the presence of representatives of the Point
Operator; provided that Pipeline shall not be required to
verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than
once in any 30-day period. In any event, Pipeline will
verify the accuracy of rotary and diaphragm meters at least
once every year and all other meters at least once every
six (6) Months, unless Shipper requests special
verification as described in (b) below; provided that when
daily deliveries at the interconnection average 12,000 Mcf
per day or greater during a calendar year, the accuracy of
the measuring equipment shall be verified at least once
every two (2) Months.
(b) Shipper may obtain special verification of the accuracy of
any measuring equipment by providing Pipeline at least 72
hours advance notice. Shipper and Pipeline shall cooperate
to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy of such
equipment. If such measuring equipment is found to be
inaccurate by two percent (2%) or less, Pipeline shall have
the right to bill Shipper for the reasonable costs directly
incurred due to such special verification, including any
labor and mileage costs, and Shipper shall pay such costs
promptly following receipt of an invoice.
8.5 Measurement Equipment Inaccuracy and Failure. If measurement
equipment of Pipeline or of a Delivery Point Operator or third
party performing Measurement Operations is found to be
inoperative or inaccurate, such equipment shall be adjusted to
register correctly, and the amount of error shall be determined
by the most accurate method feasible. If the inaccuracy shall
have resulted in an error of more than two percent (2%) in the
measurement of gas, the calculated deliveries of gas shall be
adjusted to compensate for such error. Such adjustment shall be
made for such period of inaccuracy as may be definitely known.
If the period of inaccuracy shall not be definitely known, such
adjustment shall be made for the last half of the period between
the time the metering equipment was adjusted to register
correctly and the date of the last previous meter test. If for
any reason the measuring equipment is out of service or out of
repair so that the amount of gas delivered cannot be ascertained
or computed from the readings thereof, the amount of gas
delivered during such period shall be estimated and agreed on by
the use of the first of the following methods that is feasible:
