GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
2. MEASUREMENT (Continued)
2.5 Atmospheric Pressure. For the purpose of measurement, calculation
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.
2.6 Temperature. The temperature of the gas shall be determined at the
points of measurement by means of a properly installed temperature
transmitter of standard manufacture determined by Transporter in
exercise of its reasonable judgment to be installed in accordance
with the recommendations contained in ANSI/API 2530 First Edition
(Orifice Metering of Natural Gas). The arithmetic average of
Hourly temperatures for each Day shall be used in computing
temperatures of the gas during such Day. In the event electronic
computer measurement is used, average daily temperature will be
computed as a running average of data determined during each
computer scan.
2.7 Determination of Heating Value and Specific Gravity. The Gross
Heating Value and specific gravity of the gas may be determined by
gas chromatographic analysis. This shall be done by either a gas
sample or by an on-line gas chromatograph. In the event a
continuous Gas sampling device is used, intervals mutually agreed
upon should not be less than every Month. The determination of
Gross Heating Value and specific gravity from chromatograph shall
input continuously into the computer for quantity calculations. In
the event a continuous gas sampler is installed, then the Gross
Heating Value and specific gravity shall be determined in the
laboratory by chromatograph. Such determinations shall be
considered as the Gross Heating Value and specific gravity of all
gas delivered during the applicable period of sampling. All Gross
Heating Value and specific gravity determinations made with a
chromatograph shall use physical gas constants for gas compounds, as
outlined in ANSI/API 2530 with any subsequent amendments or
revisions to which the Parties may mutually agree.
2.8 Supercompressibility. The measurement hereunder shall be corrected
for deviation from Boyle's law in accordance with AGA Report No. 8.
