GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
26. MEASUREMENT
The volumes of natural gas and the quantities of energy received or delivered through a meter or meters
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section; provided, that Transporter
and Shipper may agree to determine such volumes and quantities of gas received or delivered pursuant to a
method or methods agreed upon by Transporter and Shipper in place of the construction and installation of a
meter and measuring station. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Tariff, Transporter shall not be
required to pay for or to construct or install facilities of any kind, including, but not limited to meters
and measuring stations.
26.1 Measurement Unit. The Measurement Unit shall be one Dekatherm (one Dth) of natural gas and shall be
calculated by multiplying the volume delivered in Mcf by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Heating
Value and the denominator of which is 1,000.
26.2 Volumetric Measurement Base. The volumetric measurement base shall be one cubic foot of natural gas at
a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three one-hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch absolute, a
temperature base of sixty degrees (60°) Fahrenheit (519.67° R Absolute), and without adjustment for water
vapor content.
26.3 Atmospheric Pressure. The average absolute atmospheric (barometric) pressure shall be assumed to be
fourteen and four-tenths (14.4) pounds per square inch, irrespective of actual elevation or location of the
delivery point above sea level or variations in actual barometric pressure from time to time.
26.4 Temperature. The temperature of the natural gas shall be determined at Transporter's option:
(a) where Electronic Measurement equipment is provided, by continuous application of instantaneous
temperature measurements from one or more of the meters at a measuring station, or by contemporaneous
application of the arithmetic or other average of the temperature Record from one or more of the meters for
the time during which gas is flowing;
(b) where Electronic Measurement equipment is not provided,
(1) where an instrument which measures and records the temperature of the flowing gas is
installed, by contemporaneous application of the arithmetic or other average of the
hourly or daily temperature Record from one or more of the meters at a measuring
station, or
(2) where an instrument which measures and records the temperature of the flowing gas is
not installed, by contemporaneous application of the temperature as read from
established tables of monthly averages for the point of measurement; or
(c) by any other method or methods mutually agreed upon by Transporter and Shipper.
