GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 4
4. Measurement Procedures and Equipment
4.1 The unit of measurement of Gas for all purposes shall be
Dekatherm. The volumetric measurement base shall be 1 cubic foot
of Gas at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds per square inch
absolute, at a temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and
without adjustment for water vapor.
4.2 Any measurement data rebuttal period shall begin with the
interested party issuing a written notification that a
measurement dispute exists. These disputes will apply to
measurement errors that involve quantities that Gulf Crossing has
direct custody transfer responsibilities over, as well as volumes
measured by other companies that have been audited by Gulf
Crossing. Provided, further nothing will prevent Gulf Crossing
or a Customer from going beyond six months if a meter error is
discovered and the date of the error can be established with
reasonable certainty.
4.3 For the purpose of measurement, calculation and meter
calibration, the average absolute atmospheric (barometric)
pressure shall be 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute.
4.4 The temperature of the Gas shall be determined at the points of
measurement by means of a properly installed temperature
transmitter of standard manufacture determined by Gulf Crossing
in exercise of its reasonable judgment to be installed in
accordance with the recommendations contained in ANSI/API 2530
First Edition (Orifice Metering of Natural Gas), including any
subsequent amendments or revisions which meet generally accepted
industry standards and practices and are acceptable to Gulf
Crossing and Customer. The arithmetic average of Hourly
temperatures for each Day shall be used in computing temperatures
of the Gas during such Day. In the event electronic computer
measurement is used, average daily temperature will be computed
as a running average of data determined during each computer
scan.
