TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT (Continued)
2.4 Determination of Flowing Temperature - The temperature of the
gas flowing through a meter station shall be obtained by the
use of a recording thermometer. The arithmetic average
temperature of the gas during the chart period shall be used
in computing the delivery of gas during such period. Where
the quantities of gas metered will not be materially affected
by so doing, the temperature at delivery shall be assumed to
be sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60~F) when not regularly measured.
2.5 Determination of Specific Gravity - The specific gravity of
the gas flowing through orifice meter stations, when used,
shall be determined by taking samples of such gas by means of
a recording gravitometer located at the measuring station or
at any other point on the pipeline where there will be no
commingling thereafter of gas, or by any other recognized
method which may be practical in the circumstances. The
arithmetic average specific gravity of the gas at such points
during the chart period shall be used in computing the
delivery of gas during such period at such points.
2.6 Chromatographic Analysis - If the heating value and/or the
specific gravity is determined by chromatographic analysis of
the gas sample, the values of the physical constants for the
gas compounds and the procedure for determining the gross
heating value and/or the specific gravity of the gas from them
shall be as set forth in the American Gas Association reports
where available.
