GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
3.1 Installation and Operation. Transporter will install, maintain and
operate at its own expense, at or near each Receipt or Delivery
Point, a measuring station properly equipped with meters and other
necessary measuring equipment and any related measurement and
interconnection facilities; provided, however, that Transporter
may require at its option that Shipper bear the expense of
furnishing and installing such equipment in any instance in which
Shipper requests a new or additional Receipt Point or Delivery
Point for Shipper's convenience. Unless otherwise mutually agreed
upon, such measuring equipment will be of a type generally
accepted in industry practice by which the Volume of Gas received
from and delivered to Shipper will be measured. Where orifice
meters are used, they will be installed and operated in accordance
with ANSI/API 2530, September 1985, and any modifications and
amendments thereof, and applied in a practical manner. Where
positive displacement meters, turbine meters, ultrasonic meters,
or other measuring devices are used, they will be installed and
operated in accordance with then-current American Gas Association
recommendations, where available. Btu measuring equipment will be
installed by Transporter at a location or locations where the
Total Heating Value of the Gas received and delivered by
Transporter can be satisfactorily determined. Btu measurement may
also be determined by Gas samples.
3.2 Check Measuring Equipment. Shipper may install, maintain and
operate, at its own expense, such check measuring equipment as
desired, provided that such equipment will not be installed on
property containing Transporter's measuring equipment at or near
the Receipt or Delivery Points. However, measurement of Gas for
purposes of this tariff will be done by means of the measuring
equipment installed pursuant to Paragraph 3.1, except in cases
specifically provided to the contrary in this Section 3.
3.3 Notice of Equipment Tests. The party operating the measurement
facilities will give notice to the other party of the time and
location of all tests of Gas delivered hereunder or of any
equipment used in measuring or determining the nature or quality
of such Gas, in order that such other party may conveniently have
its representative present. Upon request and thirty (30) days
written notice, each party will submit to the other its records,
