GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

13. MEASUREMENT
13.1 Unit of Volume
The unit of volume for measurement of gas for all purposes
shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas at a base temperature of 60
degrees (60 ) Fahrenheit and at a pressure of 14.73 psia, which
shall be deemed the pressure at all Sea Robin Points of
Receipt. Measurement data may be recorded using charts or
electronic recorders or instantaneous flow computations in
electronic flow computers. Where measurement is by orifice
meter, all fundamental constants, observations, records, and
procedures involved in the determination and/or verification of
the quantity and other characteristics of gas delivered
hereunder shall, unless otherwise specified herein, be in
accordance with the standards prescribed in the Orifice
Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids,
American Gas Association Report No. 3, as revised September
1985, and as such report may hereafter be further revised.
Exact measurements of inside diameters of meter tubes shall be
obtained by means of a micrometer to the nearest one-thousandth
inch. Unless specified otherwise, measurement by turbine meter
shall be in accordance with formulae, tables and methods set
forth in Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 7 of the American
Gas Association as published in 1981, and as such report may be
further revised. All volumes shall be corrected for flowing
temperature and specific gravity in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 13.4 and 13.5 below. Measurement data
may at Sea Robin's election be recorded and/or accumulated by
using chart recorders, digital recorders or flow computers.
Where measurement is by other than orifice or turbine meter,
standards commonly acceptable in the industry shall be used in
the determination of all factors involved in the computation of
gas volumes.
13.2 Basis
The measurement hereunder shall be corrected for deviation from
Boyle's Law at the pressures and temperatures under which gas
is measured hereunder in accordance with the method referenced
in AGA Report No. 3 or such other method as may be mutually
agreed upon by Sea Robin and Shipper; provided, however, that
where gas is delivered through positive displacement meters at
a pressure not in excess of 20 pounds per square inch gauge,
the gas may be assumed to obey Boyle's Law.
