GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 3
(Continued)
3.5 Basis - Volumes delivered shall be corrected for deviation from
Boyle's Law at the pressures and temperatures under which gas is
measured by use of the NX-19 formula or table appearing in the
manual entitled "PAR Research Project NX-19, Extension of Range of
Supercompressibility Tables," AGA Catalogue No. 48/PR, published
by the AGA in 1963, including any subsequent amendments or
revisions which meet generally accepted industry standards and
practices and are acceptable to Gulf South and Customer.
3.6 Determination of Heating Value - The heating value of the gas
shall be determined by a chromatograph, continuous sampler, spot
sample, or calorimeter. The method to be employed shall be
selected by Gulf South and shall meet generally accepted industry
standards and practices. The arithmetical average of the heating
value recorded during periods of flow by a chromatograph or
calorimeter shall be considered as the heating value of the gas
delivered during such period. In the event a continuous gas
sampler is used, the heating value of the gas composite sample so
taken shall be considered as the heating value of the gas
delivered during the applicable period as determined by Gulf
South. In the event a spot sample is taken, the heating value of
the spot sample so taken shall be considered as the heating value
of the gas delivered during an applicable period as determined by
Gulf South.
All heating value determinations made with a chromatograph shall
use physical gas constants for gas compounds as outlined in the
1985 edition of A.G.A. Report No. 3 (ANSI/API 2530, GPA 8185) on
"Orifice Metering of Natural Gas" with any subsequent amendments
or revisions that meet generally accepted industry standards and
practices and are acceptable to Gulf South and Customer. Heating
value shall be determined to the nearest tenth of a Btu.
In the event the Btu value of the gas delivered at any delivery
point is not determined by any one of the methods described above,
the Btu content of the gas delivered during a month shall be
assumed to be the same as the weighted average of the Btu content
of the gas along the same pipeline segment determined by any of
the methods described above during such period.
