GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
5.2 Retention of Records - Buyer or Shipper and Western
respectively, shall preserve all test data, charts and
other required data pertaining to the measurement of gas by
their respective measurement equipment for a period of
three (3) years or such other period or periods as may be
prescribed with respect to them by regulatory bodies having
jurisdiction.
6. METERING ERRORS:
6.1 Correction of Metering Errors - If, upon test, Western's
measuring equipment is found to be in error by not more
than two percent (2%), previous recordings of such
equipment shall be considered accurate in computing
deliveries, but such equipment shall be adjusted at once to
record accurately. Errors exceeding two percent (2%) at a
recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow
for the period since the last preceding test will be
corrected. Previous recordings of such equipment shall be
corrected to zero error for any period which is known
definitely or agreed upon. If the period is not known or
agreed upon, the correction shall be made for a period of
one-half of the time elapsed since the last test but shall
not exceed sixteen (16) days.
6.2 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
calculations; or in the absence of both (a) and (b),
then
(c) By estimating the quantity of delivery during a period
under similar conditions when the meter was
registering accurately.
