4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
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(s) and Delivery Point(s).
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.
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,
(c) 0.5% for any measuring equipment utilized to determine Gross
Heating Value.
If upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in error by
not more than the limits specified above, the previous readings of
such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing
deliveries or receipts of Gas, but such equipment shall be
adjusted at once to register accurately.
