3. STANDARDS FOR MEASUREMENT AND TESTS (cont'd)
3.6 The accuracy of all measuring equipment shall be verified at reason-
able intervals, but the operating party shall not be required to
verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once in any
thirty (30) day period. In the event the nonoperating party notifies
the operating party that the nonoperating party desires a special test
of any measuring equipment, the operating party shall cooperate to
secure a prompt verification of the accuracy of such equipment. The
expense of any such special test requested by the non-operating party
shall be borne by the non-operating party if the measuring equipment
tested is found not to be in error by more than 2%.
3.7 If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found not to be in error in
the aggregate by more than 2%, previous recordings of such equipment
shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of gas, but such
equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately. If, upon
test, any measuring equipment shall be found in the aggregate to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding 2% at a recording corresponding to
the average hourly rate of flow for the period since the last
preceding test,such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record
accurately, and any previous recordings of such equipment shall be
corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely, but
in case the period of error is not known or agreed upon, such
correction shall be for a period extending over one-half of the time
elapsed since the date of the last test, not exceeding a correction
period of sixteen (16) days. In the event a meter is out of service
or registering inaccurately, the quantities of gas delivered during
such period shall be determined as follows:
(1) By using the registration of any check meter or meters,if
installed and accurately registering; or in the absence of
subsection (1),
(2) By correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascer-
tainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation; or in
the absence of both subsections (1) and (2), then,
(3) By estimating the quantities of gas delivered from deliveries
during periods under similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
