or revisions as may be acceptable to Transporter, and shall meet
generally accepted industry standards and practices. Heating
value shall be determined to the nearest whole Btu.
In the event the Btu value of the gas delivered at any delivery
point is not determined by any one of the methods described
above, the Btu content of the gas delivered during a month shall
be assumed to be the same as the weighted average of the Btu
content of the gas along the same pipeline segment determined by
any of the methods described above during such period.
3.8 Determination of Flowing Temperature - When orifice meters are
used in conjunction with the use of charts, the temperature of
the gas flowing through the meter or meters shall be determined
by the continuous use of a recording thermometer installed so
that it will properly record the temperature of the gas flowing
through the meter or meters. The average of the temperature
recorded during a period shall be used in computing the volumes
of gas for that period. Temperature shall be determined to the
nearest whole degree in Fahrenheit.
When positive or turbine meters are used, the flowing temperature
of the gas shall be assumed to be sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit
and no correction shall be made for any variation therefrom;
provided, however, Transporter shall have the option of
installing or causing to be installed a recording thermometer,
and if Transporter exercises such option, correction shall be
made for each degree variation in the average flowing temperature
for each meter recording.
3.9 Determination of Specific Gravity - The specific gravity
(relative density) of the gas flowing through the meter or meters
shall be determined by a chromatograph, continuous sampler, spot
sample, or gravitometer, which method shall be selected by
Transporter, and shall meet generally accepted industry standards
and practices. The arithmetical average of specific gravity
