GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
(1) At intervals of not more than six (6) Months, by means of
an instrument of standard manufacture accepted in the
industry for this purpose using a sample of Gas from the
Gas stream.
(2) By means of an instrument of standard manufacture
accepted in the industry for this purpose installed at a
point to measure the specific gravity of the Gas stream
from which Gas is being delivered.
(vi) The compressibility ratio factor "s" used in
computing the volume of Gas delivered through a
turbine meter or a positive displacement meter
shall be determined by the equation s = (Fpv)2,
in which "Fpv" is the supercompressibility
factor determined as described in subparagraph
(iv) of this subsection (b).
(vii) In determining the flowing temperature factor,
supercompressibility factor, and compressibility
ratio factor "s" for use in computing the volume
of Gas delivered through a meter, the flowing
gas temperature for only the period(s) of time
that Gas was flowing through the meter shall be
used.
4.3 All flow, measuring, testing and related equipment shall
be of standard manufacture and type approved by
Transporter. If applicable, Transporter or Shipper may
install check measuring equipment, provided that such
equipment shall be so installed as not to interfere with
the operations of the Transporter. Transporter, or
Shipper, in the presence of the other party, shall have
access to measuring equipment at all reasonable times,
but the reading, calibrating, and adjusting thereof and
the changing of charts shall be done by the Transporter
of the facilities. Transporter or Shipper shall have the
right to be present at the time of the installing,
reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting,
testing, calibrating or adjusting done by the Transporter
of the measuring equipment. The records from such
measuring equipment shall remain the property of the
Transporter, but upon request, the other party may
request records, and charts, together with calculations
there from for inspection, subject to return within (30)
Days after receipt thereof. Reasonable care shall be
exercised in the installation, maintenance and operation
of the measuring equipment so as to avoid any inaccuracy
in the determination of the volume of Gas received and
delivered. The accuracy of all measuring equipment shall
be verified by the Transporter at reasonable intervals,
and if requested, in the presence of representatives of
the other party, but neither Transporter nor Shipper
shall be required to verify the accuracy of such
equipment more frequently than once in any thirty (30)
Day period. If either party at any time desires a
special test of any measuring equipment, it will promptly
notify the other party and the parties shall then
cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy
of such equipment.
