3.2 Testing Meter Equipment: Crossroads' meter or meters shall be
open to inspection by Shipper in the presence of Crossroads.
Crossroads shall test its meters for accuracy of measurement
quarterly or as often as Crossroads deems advisable. Notice of
the time and nature of each test shall be given by Crossroads to
Shipper sufficiently in advance to permit convenient arrangement
for the presence of the representative of Shipper. If after notice
Shipper fails to have a representative present, the results of
the test shall nevertheless be considered accurate until the next
test. If any of the measuring equipment is found to be registering
inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be adjusted at once to
read as accurately as possible. A registration within two percent
(2%) of correct shall be considered correct as to deliveries prior
to the test.
3.3 Correction and Adjustment: If upon test, measuring equipment is
found to be not more than two percent (2%) inaccurate, previous
readings of such equipment after the last preceding test shall be
considered correct, but equipment shall be adjusted to record
accurately. If, on any test, measuring equipment is found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%), or if at any
time measuring equipment should be out of service or not
registering gas flowing through the meter over the period during
which the measuring equipment was registering inaccurately or was
out of service or not registering shall be estimated by use of the
first of the following methods which may be applicable:
(a) By using the registration of any check measuring equipment
installed by Shipper or other party if registering
accurately; or in the absence of (a)
(b) By computing error if percentage of error is ascertainable
by calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or in the
absence of (a) and (b) then
(c) By estimating the quantity received or delivered and/or its
thermal content by reference to actual deliveries or
deliveries during peak periods under similar conditions when
measuring equipment was registering accurately.
If the period during which measuring equipment has been
registering inaccurately or has been out of service or not
registering is not definitely known or agreed upon, correction
shall be made for the last half of the time elapsed since measuring
equipment was previously tested and found to be registering
within two percent (2%) of accurate or was adjusted to register
accurately. All corrections made as above provided shall be made
to zero error.
