(a) The unit of Gas received and delivered by Transporter shall
be a MMBtu.
(b) The unit of volume, for the purpose of measurement, shall be
one cubic
foot of Gas. The readings and registrations of the measuring
equipment
provided for herein and determinations of Gross Heating Value
shall be
computed in terms of such volumes.
3.2 The factors required to determine the Volume of Gas
received, such as
pressure, temperature, specific gravity and deviations from
Boyle's Law, shall
be calculated in accordance with the American Gas Association
Bulletin Number
3 and any modifications and amendments thereof, and applied in a
practical
manner.
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
4.1 With respect to Gas received or delivered under a
Transportation
Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon, all measuring
facilities
shall be installed, if necessary, owned, maintained and operated
by
Transporter or Transporter's designee near the Receipt Point and
Delivery
Point.
4.2 All meters and measuring equipment for the determination of
volume,
Gross Heating Value and relative density shall be approved
pursuant to, and
installed and maintained in accordance with, the currently
published standards
of the American Gas Association, or as mutually agreed upon.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all installation of equipment applying to or
affecting
deliveries of Gas shall be made in such manner as to permit an
accurate
determination of the quantity and Gross Heating Value of Gas
delivered and
ready verification of the accuracy of measurement. Care shall be
exercised by
all parties in the installation, maintenance and operation of
pressure
regulating equipment so as to prevent any inaccuracy in the
determination of
the energy of Gas delivered under the Transportation Agreement.
4.3 The accuracy of measuring equipment shall be verified by
Transporter or
other party at reasonable intervals at the expense of the party
performing the
verification, and if requested, in the presence of
representatives of the
other party, but either party shall not be required to verify the
accuracy of
such equipment more frequently than once in any 30 day period.
In the event
either party shall notify the other that it desires a special
test of any
measuring equipment, the parties shall co-operate to secure a
prompt
verification of the accuracy of such equipment. The expense of
any such
special test shall be borne by the requesting party if the
measuring equipment
is found to be in error by not more than the limits set out as
follows:
(a) 2% for measuring equipment utilized to determine volume,
(b) 1% for any measuring equipment utilized to determine
relative density,
