GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
9. QUALITY (continued)
9.3 Quality Tests. (Continued)
(b) The gross heating value of gas delivered hereunder shall be determined
from read-outs of continually operating measurement instruments. The
method shall consist of one or more of the following:
(1) calorimeter;
(2) gas chromatograph;
(3) any other method mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Measurement of gross heating value with the calorimeters shall comply with
the standards set forth in the American Society for Testing and Materials'
ASTM D 1826-83 or any subsequent revisions. Analysis of gas with gas
chromatographs shall comply with the standards set forth in ASTM D 1945-81
or any subsequent revisions. Calculation of the gross heating value from
compositional analysis by gas chromatography shall comply with the standards
set forth in ASTM D 3588-81 or any subsequent revisions. Transporter or its
agent shall calibrate and maintain the gross heating value measurement
device at intervals as agreed upon by Transporter and Shipper. Shipper
shall have access to Transporter's devices and shall be allowed to inspect
the devices and all charts or other records of measurement at any reasonable
time.
(c) Tests shall be made to determine the total sulfur, hydrogen sulfide,
carbon dioxide and oxygen content of the gas, by approved standard
methods in general use in the gas industry, and to determine the
hydrocarbon dew-point and water vapor content of such gas by methods
satisfactory to the parties. Tests shall be made frequently enough to
ensure that the gas is conforming continuously to the quality
requirements.
9.4 Failure to Conform to Specifications. If the gas offered for delivery
to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) or made available to or on
behalf of Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) by Transporter shall fail
at any time to conform to any of the specifications set forth in
Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3, then the party receiving such gas (the
"receiving party") shall notify the other party (the "tendering
party') of such deficiency and thereupon the receiving party may at
its option refuse to accept such gas pending correction by the
tendering party. Upon the tendering party's failure promptly to
remedy any deficiency the receiving party may accept such gas and may
make changes necessary to bring such gas into conformity with such
specifications, and the tendering party shall reimburse the receiving
party for any reasonable expense incurred by it in effecting such
changes. In no event shall the failure of any gas offered for delivery
to Transporter by Shipper or for Shipper's account to (continued)
