The accuracy of the measuring equipment, including
calorimeters, shall be verified at reasonable intervals but
not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period.
In the event either party shall notify the other that it
desires a special test of said measuring equipment or of the
check measuring equipment, as the case may be, the parties
shall cooperate to secure prompt verification of the accuracy
of such equipment. Each party shall give to the other party
sufficient advance notice of the time of all such special
tests so that the other party may conveniently have its
representatives present.

equipment used in the measurement and billing of gas,
including records resulting from electronic flow measurement,

(30) days after receipt.
The parties shall preserve all test data, charts and other
required data pertaining to the measurement of gas by their
respective measurement equipment for a period of three (3)
years or such other period or periods as may be prescribed
with respect to them by regulatory bodies having jurisdiction.
3.6 Correction of Metering Errors - If, upon test, the measuring
equipment is found to be in error by not more than two percent
(2%), previous recordings of such equipment shall be
considered accurate in computing deliveries, but such
equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately.
