GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Measurement
Fahrenheit for low volume meters. When continuous
recorders are used, the arithmetic average of the
temperature recorded each day shall be used to compute
gas quantities.
E. The specific gravity of the gas delivered shall be
determined for any one Day by the use of instantaneous
specific gravity measurements applied to metering
instruments, shall be by the use of a continuously
recording gravitometer, or by approved methods with
such reasonable frequency as is found expedient in
practice. The method of test used for the
determination of specific gravity, in the absence of
continuous recording or instantaneous devices, shall
be by the use of an approved gravity instrument or
fractional analysis.
F. The deviation of gas from Ideal Gas Laws for orifice
meters shall be calculated according to the
recommendations of the American Gas Association
("A.G.A.") Measurement Committee Report No. 3,
entitled "Orifice Metering of Natural Gas," August,
1985, as may be amended or modified from time to time,
or by other mutually agreed upon methods. Turbine and
displacement meters shall be calculated according to
A.G.A. Report No. 7, 1981, as may be amended or
modified from time to time, or by other mutually
agreed upon methods.
G. The Total Heating Value shall be determined by
calculations from fractional analysis, or by methods
outlined in A.G.A. Measurement Committee Report No. 5,
latest edition, or by other mutually agreed upon
methods.
H. The Dt delivered shall be calculated either by
multiplying the Mcf delivered by the Total Heating
Value, and dividing the result by 1,000; or by
multiplying the pounds mass delivered by the Btu per
pound mass, and dividing the result by 1,000,000.
