GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
the arithmetical average of the hourly heating value and specific
gravity recorded during periods of flow each day by a recording
calorimeter and gravitometer or recording chromatograph, if
installed, shall be considered as the Heating Value and specific
gravity of the gas delivered during each day. In the event
electronic computer measurement is used, the determination of
Heating Value and specific gravity from chromatograph or
calorimeter and gravitometer transducers shall input continuously
into the computer for volume calculations. In the event a
continuous gas sampler is installed, then the Heating Value and
specific gravity shall be determined in the laboratory by
chromatograph and/or running a portion of test sample through a
calorimeter and gravitometer. Such determinations shall be
considered as the Heating Value and specific gravity of all gas
delivered during the applicable period of sampling. All Heating
Value and specific gravity determinations made with a
chromatograph shall use physical gas constants for gas compounds
as outlined in ANSI/API 2530 First Edition (Orifice Metering of
Natural Gas) with any subsequent amendments or revisions which
Horizon may adopt in exercise of his reasonable judgment. The
calculations (for Btu) shall be based on dry gas if the gas at the
measurement points contain less than five (5) pounds of water per
MMcf. If the gas at the measurement points contains more than
five (5) pounds of water per MMcf, the appropriate factor
determined by Horizon in the exercise of his reasonable judgment
for the actual water vapor content will be applied to the Btu
calculations to correct for this water content.
18.5 SUPERCOMPRESSIBILITY
The measurement hereunder shall be corrected for
deviation from Boyle's Law at the pressures and temperatures under
which gas is measured hereunder by the use of the Formula NX-19
appearing in the manual entitled, "PAR Research Project NX-19,
Extension of Range of Supercompressibility Tables," AGA Catalog
No. 48/PR published by the American Gas Association in 1963 as
supplemented or amended from time to time. Inert content of the
metered gas stream used in the Formula NX-19 calculations shall be
determined by a chromatographic analysis using spot sample when
deliveries begin and thereafter by chromatographic analysis no
less than semiannually or by more frequent continuous sampling or
by continuous computer input at each of the points where the gas
is received and delivered.
