GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (cont'd)
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT - (cont'd)
4.3 Correction of Metering Errors:
If Transporter's measurement equipment installed under
Section 4.1 above or any other equipment installed
under subsections 3.2(c), and 3.2(d) above is found to
be inoperative or inaccurate, such equipment shall be
adjusted to register correctly, and the amount of error
shall be determined by the most accurate method
feasible. If the inaccuracy shall have resulted in an
error of more than 2 % in the measurement of gas, then
the calculated deliveries of gas shall be adjusted to
compensate for such error. Such adjustment shall be
made for such period of inaccuracy as may be definitely
known. If the period of inaccuracy shall not be
definitely known, then such adjustment shall be made
for the last half of the period (but not exceeding 15
days) between the time the metering equipment was
adjusted to register correctly and the date of the last
previous meter test. If for any reason the measuring
equipment is out of service or out of repair so that
the amount of gas delivered cannot be ascertained or
computed from the readings thereof, the amount of gas
delivered during such period shall be estimated and
agreed upon by the use of the first of the following
methods which is feasible: (a) by using the
registration of any check measuring equipment if
installed and accurately registering; (b) by correcting
the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable
by calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or
(c) by estimating the quantity of gas delivered by
reference to actual deliveries during proceeding
periods under similar conditions when the equipment in
question was registering accurately.
4.4 Check Measuring Equipment:
Shipper may install, maintain and operate, at its
own expense, such check measuring equipment as it
shall desire, provided that such equipment shall
be so installed as not to interfere with the
operation of Transporter's measuring equipment.
