4.4 Quality Tests. (Continued)
(b) Specification for Tests. Transporter will determine the
Total Heating Value of Gas and its component analysis at
least once each Month in accordance with the Gas Measurement
Committee Report No. 3 prepared by the Gas Measurement
Committee of the American Gas Association, dated September
1985 or any subsequent revisions (AGA-3). Such
determination will be made using either an on-line
chromatograph or by chromatographic analysis of a
representative sample of Gas taken with a continuous flow
proportional sampler. Chromatography will be performed in
accordance with Gas Processors Association (GPA)
publications 2261-86 and 2286-86 or any subsequent
revisions. The values of the physical constants for the Gas
components will be determined by the use of the physical
constants listed in Table 5 of AGA-3. For components of the
Gas not listed in said Table 5, GPA publication 2145-88 or
any subsequent revision will be used.
(c) Non-Hydrocarbon Tests. Tests will be made to determine the
total sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen and oxygen content of the Gas, and the hydrocarbon
dew point and water vapor content of such Gas by approved
standard methods in general use in the gas industry. Tests
will be made frequently enough to assure that the Gas
continuously conforms to the quality requirements.
4.5 Failure to Conform.
(a) If the Gas offered for Transportation by Shipper will fail
at any time to conform to any of the specifications set
forth in Section 4.2, then Transporter will have the right,
upon written (including by telecopy) or oral notice to
Shipper, to immediately refuse to accept all or any portion
of such Gas.
