3.2.5 Deviation from Boyle's Law
The deviation of the natural gas from Boyle's Law shall be determined

Association Par Research Project NX-19 corrected for carbon dioxide
(CO2) and nitrogen (N2), or any applicable formulae published by the
American Gas Association. The molecular percentage of N2 and CO2 shall
be determined at approximately the same time or from the same analyzed
gas sample used for the determination of heating value and shall be
used to determine the compressibility factors, with corrections for
temperature and pressure.
3.2.6 Calculation of Dekatherm Quantity
The measured Dekatherm quantity of natural gas shall be determined by
multiplying the volume of gas in Mcf by the ratio of the heating value
per cubic foot to 1,000.
