GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 4
(Continued)
4.5 Inspection, Tests, Calibration and Adjustments of Meters - All
measurement equipment shall be inspected, tested, calibrated and
adjusted by the measuring party thereof as often as Gulf South
deems necessary, but not more often than once each month unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties. The above limitations do not
apply in the event of an equipment failure; for example,
malfunction of the flow computer, transducers, or primary
measurement device. The measuring party shall give notice to the
other party of the time of all tests of meters sufficiently in
advance of the holding of the test so that the other party may
conveniently have its representative present; provided, however,
that if the measuring party has given such notice to the other
party and the other party is not present at the time specified,
then the party giving the notice may proceed with the test as
though the other party were present. Following any test, any
measuring equipment found to be inaccurate to any degree shall be
adjusted immediately to measure accurately. Each party shall
have the right at any time to challenge the accuracy of any
measuring equipment used and may request additional tests.
If, upon testing, the challenged equipment is found to be in
error, then it shall be repaired and calibrated. Unless the
parties otherwise agree in writing (e.g. pursuant to a
measurement, interconnect, or operational balancing agreement)
the cost of any such special testing, repair and calibration
shall be borne by the party requiring the special test if the
percentage of inaccuracy is found to be two percent (2%) or less;
otherwise, the cost shall be borne by the party operating the
challenged measuring equipment. If, upon any test, the metering
equipment in the aggregate is found to be inaccurate by two
percent (2%) or more, registrations thereof shall be corrected
for a period extending back to the time such inaccuracy occurred,
if such time is ascertainable, and if not ascertainable, then
back one-half of the time elapsed since the last date of
calibration. If for any reason, meters are out of service or out
of repair, so that the quantity of gas delivered cannot be
ascertained or computed from the readings thereof, the quantity
of gas delivered during the period such meters are out of service
or out of repair shall be estimated and agreed upon by
