GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3.5 Other Measurement Methods - When measurement is by other than
orifice, turbine, or positive meter, standards commonly
acceptable in the industry shall be used in the determination of
all factors involved in the computation of gas volumes.
3.6 Basis - Volumes delivered shall be corrected for deviation from
Boyle's Law at the pressures and temperatures under which gas is
measured by use of the NX-19 formula or table appearing in the
manual entitled "PAR Research Project NX-19, Extension of Range
of Supercompressibility Tables," AGA Catalogue No. 48/PR,
published by the AGA in 1963, with any subsequent amendments or
revisions which may be acceptable to Transporter, and shall meet
generally accepted industry standards and practices.
3.7 Determination of Heating Value - The heating value of the gas
shall be determined by a chromatograph, continuous sampler, spot
sample, or calorimeter, which method shall be selected by
Transporter, and shall meet generally accepted industry standards
and practices.
The arithmetical average of the heating value recorded during
periods of flow by a chromatograph or calorimeter shall be
considered as the heating value of the gas delivered during such
period. In the event a continuous gas sampler is used, the
heating value of the gas composite sample so taken shall be
considered as the heating value of the gas delivered during the
applicable period as determined by the Transporter. In the event
a spot sample is taken, the heating value of the spot sample so
taken shall be considered as the heating value of the gas
delivered during an applicable period as determined by
Transporter.
All heating value determinations made with a chromatograph shall
use physical gas constants for gas compounds as outlined in the
1985 edition of A.G.A. Report No. 3 (ANSI/API 2530, GPA 8185) on
"Orifice Metering of Natural Gas" with any subsequent amendments
