GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
If either party at any time desires a special
test of any measuring equipment, it will promptly
notify the other party and the parties shall then
cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the
accuracy of such equipment. Transportation and
related expenses involved in the testing of meters
shall be borne by the party incurring such
expenses.
The Operator, for purposes of this section,
shall be the owner of the equipment referenced
herein, or the agent of such owner, or such other
person as the parties may agree in writing.
If, upon any test, Operator's measuring
equipment is found to be in error, such errors
shall be taken into account in a practical manner
in computing the deliveries. If the resultant
aggregate error in the computed receipts or
deliveries is not more than 0.5% for chromatograph
or calorimeter and two percent (2%) for other
measuring equipment, then previous receipts or
deliveries shall be considered accurate. All
equipment shall, in any case, be adjusted at the
time of test to record correctly. If, however,
the resultant aggregate error in computing
receipts or deliveries exceeds 0.5% for
chromatograph or calorimeter and two percent (2%)
for other measuring equipment, at a recording
corresponding to the average hourly rate, of Gas
flow rate for the period since the last preceding
test, the previous recordings of such equipment
shall be corrected to zero error for any period
which is known definitely or agreed upon, such
correction shall be for a period extending over
one-half of the time elapsed since the date of the
last test.
6.4 In the event any measuring equipment is out
of service, or is found registering inaccurately
and the error is not determinable by test,
previous recordings of injections or withdrawals
through such equipment shall be determined as
follows; provided, however, that the correction
period shall not exceed one (1) year:
(a) by using the registration of any
check meter or meters if installed and
accurately registering, or in the absence of
(a);
(b) by correcting the error if the
percentage of error is ascertainable by
calibration, special test or mathematical
calculation, or in the absence of both (a)
and (b) then;
(c) by estimating the quantity of
receipt or delivery based on receipts or
deliveries during preceding periods under
similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
