GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
2. MEASUREMENT (continued)
(a) 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.
(b) 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
API 14.3 and 21.1 First Edition (Orifice Metering of Natural
Gas). 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.
(c) Determination of Heating Value and Specific Gravity. The gross
Heating Value and specific gravity of the Gas may be determined
by Gas chromatographic analysis or any other method mutually
agreed upon. This shall be done by either a Gas sample or by
an on-line Gas chromatograph. In the event a spot or
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 spot or continuous Gas
sampler is utilized, then the gross Heating Value and specific
gravity shall be determined in the laboratory by chromatograph
and will be used from the date of the analysis is downloaded
into the flow computer until the date the next sample is
analyzed and downloaded to the flow computer. All gross
Heating Value and specific gravity determinations made with a
chromatograph shall use physical Gas constants for Gas
compounds, as outlined in AGA 5 with any subsequent amendments
or revisions to which the parties may mutually agree.
(d) Compressibility. The measurement hereunder shall be
corrected for deviation from Boyle's law in accordance with AGA
Report No. 8, as amended from time to time.
2.6 Measurement Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed between Transporter
and Operator/Interconnecting Party, Transporter will install,
maintain, operate or cause to be installed, maintained and operated,
measuring stations equipped with flow meters and other necessary
metering and measuring equipment by which the volumes of Gas received
and delivered hereunder shall be determined. Subject to the terms of
the interconnect agreement at Transporter's sole
