GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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.
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.
26.5 Static Pressure. The static pressure of the natural gas shall be determined at Transporter's option:
(a) where Electronic Measurement equipment is provided, by continuous application of
instantaneous static pressure measurements from one or more of the meters at a measuring station, or by
contemporaneous application of the arithmetic or other average of the static pressure Record from one or
more of the meters for the time during which gas is flowing;
(b) where Electronic Measurement equipment is not provided, by contemporaneous application of the
static pressure Record from one or more of the meters at a measuring station, or by contemporaneous
application of the arithmetic or other average of the hourly or daily static pressure Record from one or
more of the meters at a measuring station; or
(c) by any other method or methods mutually agreed upon by Transporter and Shipper.
