14.3 Unit of Measurement and Metering Base.
The standard reporting basis for Btu is 14.73 psia and
60 degrees F (101.325 kPa, and 15 degrees C, and dry). The
standard reporting basis for gigacalorie is 1.035646 Kg/cm2
and 15.6 degrees C and dry.The standard reporting basis for
gas volumes is cubic foot at standard conditions of 14.73
psia, and 60 degrees F, and dry. For gas volumes reported
in cubic meters, the standard conditions are 101.325 kPa and
15 degrees C, and dry (NAESB 2.3.9)
