GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
13.11 Calibration and Test of Measurement Equipment. Overthrust will
verify the accuracy of all measurement equipment at reasonable intervals.
Overthrust will provide notice of regular inspections and calibrations of
measurement equipment and any routine orifice plate changes to the operators
of the interconnecting facilities, and the operators or other contractually
designated representative of shippers may attend the inspections or plate
changes. Overthrust shall not be required to verify the accuracy of its
equipment more frequently than once in a 90-day period. In the event an
operator of an interconnecting facility or their contractually designated
representative notifies Overthrust that it desires a special test of any of
Overthrust's measurement equipment, the parties shall cooperate to secure
prompt verification of the accuracy of such equipment. Any operator of an
interconnecting facility or their contractually designated representative
requesting such a special test of Overthrust's measurement equipment shall
bear Overthrust's out-of-pocket costs of the test if the equipment is found to
be accurate within two percent (2%).
13.12 Correction of Measurement Errors. If any measurement equipment is
found to be inaccurate, the equipment will be adjusted immediately to measure
accurately. If the measurement equipment in the aggregate is found to be
inaccurate by two percent (2%) or more at a recording corresponding to the
average hourly rate of gas flow for the period since the last preceding test,
any payments based upon inaccurate measurement will be corrected at the rate
of such inaccuracy for any period that is known definitely or agreed upon. In
the case where the period is not known or agreed upon, such correction will be
for a period extending over one half of the time elapsed since the date of the
last test.
13.13 Failure of Measurement Equipment. If any measurement equipment is
out of service or is found registering inaccurately and the error is not
determinable by test, or by previous recordings, receipts or deliveries
through such equipment will be estimated and agreed to by the parties upon the
first of the following methods that is feasible:
(a) By correcting the error if the percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, special test, or mathematical calculation, or,
in the absence of (a);
(b) By using the registration of any check meter or meters, if
installed and accurately registering, or, in the absence of (a) and (b);
(c) By estimating the quantity of gas received or delivered
based on receipts or deliveries during preceding periods under similar
conditions when the measurement equipment was registering accurately.
