14.10 ORIFICE METERS - Orifice meters and electronic flow
computers will be installed and Gas quantities measured
in accordance with the standards prescribed in API
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14 -
Section 3 and Chapter 21 - Section 1.
14.11 NEW MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES - If at any time a new method
or technique is developed with respect to Gas
measurement or the determination of the factors used in
such Gas measurement, such new method or technique may
be substituted by mutual agreement between Transporter
and the interconnecting Operator.
14.12 CORRECTION OF METERING ERRORS -
a. If during any test of the measurement equipment, an
adjustment or calibration error is found that
results in an incremental adjustment to the
calculated flow rate, through the meter tube, in
excess of one per cent (1%) of the adjusted flow
rate (using the adjusted flow rate as the per cent
error equation denominator), then the previous
recordings of such equipment will be corrected to
zero (0) error for any period during which the error
existed that is either known definitely or mutually
agreed to, or if such time is not ascertainable,
then back one-half (1/2) the time elapsed since the
date of the last calibration, not to exceed sixteen
(16) Days.
b. If during any test of the measuring equipment, an
adjustment or calibration error is found that
results in an incremental adjustment to the
calculated flow rate, through the meter tube, that
does not exceed one per cent (1%) of the adjusted
flow rate (using the adjusted flow rate as the per
cent error equation denominator) then the previous
recordings will be considered to be accurate for
quantity determination purposes, but such equipment
will be adjusted to record accurately.
