GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. QUALITY (Continued)
The gas shall be free of water and hydrocarbons in liquid form at
the temperature and pressure at which the gas is delivered and in no
event shall have a water content in excess of seven pounds in vapor phase
per million cubic feet.
3.3 Determination of Gross Heating Value and Component Analysis. The
party operating the measurement equipment shall determine the gross
heating value of the gas delivered and its component analysis at
reasonable intervals. Such determination shall be made using either an
on-line chromatograph or by chromatographic analysis of a representative
sample of gas taken with a continuous sampler. Transporter may at its
option allow the use of spot samples. If at any time and for any reason
Shipper or Transporter should question the results of any spot sampling,
a redetermination shall be made and the redetermination mutually
acceptable to the parties shall be used; provided, however, if neither
party questions such results within a period of sixty (60) days following
the determination thereof, then such results shall be deemed conclusive
and binding upon the parties. Btu measuring equipment shall be installed
at a location or locations where the gross heating value of the gas
received or delivered hereunder may be reasonably determined.
3.4 Failure to Meet Specifications. Transporter or Shipper shall have
the right, exercisable by the giving of written or oral notice to the
other party, to require the remedy of any failure to deliver or redeliver
gas in accordance with the quality specifications set forth in Sections
3.1 and 3.2. In the event gas delivered by either party fails to conform
to such specifications, as evidenced by the latest chromatograph analysis
derived from an on-line chromatograph or from a sample taken manually and
analyzed by a chromatograph, or from any other verifiable evidence, the
receiving party may refuse to accept all or any portion of such gas.
