11.5 Calibration and Testing of Meters. (continued)
If, upon testing, any measuring equipment shall be found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent, at a recording
corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since
the last preceding test, then any previous recordings of such
equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period which is
known definitely but in case the period is not known or agreed upon,
such correction shall be for a period extending over one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of last test, not to exceed a period of
180 days.
11.6 (a) [NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.14] Measurement data corrections should
be processed within six (6) months of the production month, with
a three (3) month rebuttal period. This standard shall not
apply in the case of deliberate omission or misrepresentation or
mutual mistake of fact. Parties' other statutory or contractual
rights will not otherwise be diminished by this standard.
(b) [NAESB WGQ Standard 2.3.11] For treatment of measurement prior
period adjustments, treat the adjustment by taking it back to

adjustment after the fifth business day following the business
month.
11.7 Correction of Metering Errors - Failure of Meters. In the event a
meter is out of service, or registering inaccurately, the volume of
gas delivered shall be determined:
(a) by using the registration of any check meter or meters, if
installed and accurately registering; or, in the absence of (a);
(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, tests, or mathematical calculation; or
in the absence of both (a) and (b), then;
(c) by estimating the quantity of delivery by deliveries during
periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering
accurately.
11.8 Preservation of Metering Records. Transporter and Shipper shall
each preserve for a period of two years all test data, charts and
other similar records created after June 1, 1996.
