14. MEASUREMENT
14.1 PROCEDURES - All metering and testing equipment must be
installed, maintained, and calibrated in accordance with
the specifications and procedures of API Manual of
Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14 - Section 3,
Latest Edition and Chapter 21 - Section 1, Latest
Edition.
14.2 UNIT OF VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT - The unit of volume for
all purposes hereunder shall be one standard cubic foot
(1 SCF) as defined in Section 1 of the General Terms and
Conditions. Correction for the deviation of the Gas from
Boyle's Law at the pressures, temperatures and relative
densities under which the Gas is received or delivered
hereunder will be according to API Manual of Petroleum
Measurement Standards Chapter 14 - Section 2/AGA Report
No. 8.
14.3 ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE - Atmospheric pressure will be
assumed to be fourteen and seven-tenths pounds per square
inch absolute (14.7 PSIA) regardless of the actual
elevation or location of the Receipt or Delivery Point(s)
above sea level or variations of the actual atmospheric
pressure at which the Gas is measured.
14.4 RELATIVE DENSITY (SPECIFIC GRAVITY) - Relative density
will be determined by chromatographic analysis of samples
collected by means of a continuous sampling device, by an
on-line gas chromatograph or by other industry-accepted
instrument that is mutually agreed upon.
14.5 HEATING VALUE - Heating value will be determined by
chromatographic analysis of samples collected by means of
a continuous sampling device, by an on-line gas
chromatograph or by other industry-accepted instrument
that is mutually agreed upon.
