GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
4. MEASUREMENT
The volume and total heating value of the gas shall be determined as follows:
A. The unit of gas transported shall be one million (1,000,000) Btu's
(MMBtu), as defined in Section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions. The
number of MMBtu's received or delivered shall be determined by multiplying the
number of cubic feet of gas received or delivered, measured on the measurement
basis hereinafter specified, by the total heating value of such gas, in
British thermal units per cubic foot, rounded to not less than 6 decimal
places and by dividing the product by one million 1,000,000.
B. The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement and for the
determination of total heating value shall be one cubic foot of gas at a
temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit and an absolute pressure of 14.73
psia.
C. The average atmospheric pressure of gas transported by Transporter shall
be assumed to be fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per
square inch absolute (14.73 psia) irrespective of actual elevation or location
of the point of delivery above or below sea level or variations in such
atmospheric pressure from time to time.
D. At points of measurement; (i) where the installation of a recording
thermometer is provided, the arithmetic average of the temperature of the gas,
flowing through the meters, as recorded, shall be used in computing gas
volumes; or (ii) where recording thermometers, correcting indices or
temperature compensating meters are not installed, the temperature of the gas
shall be assumed to be the climatological standard normal average monthly
temperature as established by the nearest National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration weather bureau and published by the U. S. Department of
Commerce.
E. When ultrasonic meters are used to measure volume of gas received or
delivered, the volume of gas shall be computed in accordance with the most
current edition of American Gas Association Committee Report No. 9.
F. When orifice meters are used to measure volumes of gas received or
delivered, the volume of gas shall be computed in accordance with the most
current edition of the American Gas Association Committee Report No. 3 (API
14.3)
