ARTICLE VI - MEASUREMENT OF GAS (Continued)
6.2 Measurement Procedures. (Continued)
Shipper. When used, orifice meters shall be operated at a nominal
Beta ratio of approximately 0.5, but in no event shall the Beta
ratio be less than 0.4 nor greater than 0.6. Transporter shall
provide and use multiple meters when the operational range of Gas
flow rates would necessitate Beta ratios outside of such limits.
When turbine meters are used, they shall be installed and operated
in accordance with American Gas Association Transmission
Measurement Committee Report No. 7.
All meters shall be equipped with electronic flow computers, and
all orifice meter tubes shall be equipped with straightening
vanes. Transporter shall make available, at no expense to
Shipper, access to electronic signals from all electronic
measuring and metering devices installed on Transporter's system
but shall not be required to install, maintain or pay for any
additional facilities. If facilities are required in order to
access electronic signals, they shall be installed at Shipper's
expense.
6.2.2 Deviation from Ideal Gas Laws. Correction shall be made for
deviation of the Gas from Boyle's Law at the pressure and
temperature at which the Gas is metered. Deviation of Gas from
Boyle's Law shall be computed in accordance with the American Gas
Association Bulletin Number 8 and any modifications and amendments
thereto applied in a practical manner.
6.2.3 Specific Gravity. The specific gravity of Gas flowing through the
meters shall be determined by means of a recording gravitometer or
gas chromatograph located at the delivering party's measuring
station or at any other point on said party's system where there
will be no commingling thereafter of Gas with that delivered to
the receiving party, and the arithmetic average specific gravity
each Day at such point shall be used in computing deliveries of
Gas during such Day at such point.
