GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(d) Square Root Error. If unacceptable square root error or
gauge line error is caused by an interconnecting company's equipment or by a
shipper on the interconnecting company pipeline, Southern Trails will refuse
to accept gas from the interconnecting pipeline at that location until the
problem is corrected. Unacceptable square root error is defined to be equal
to or greater than 0.5%. If there is a disagreement over the degree of error
between Southern Trails and the operator of the source, a mutually agreeable
independent third-party will be requested to determine the source and degree
of error. The party deemed responsible for the pulsation source will incur
all costs for the consultation and the installation of remedial devises or
filtering equipment, as necessary.
(e) New Standards. Southern Trails may adopt the most recent
edition of: API Chapter 14.3; AGA Report No. 3, Part 2; AGA Report No. 7; and
AGA Report No. 9.
12.9 New Measurement Techniques. If a new method or technique is
developed for gas measurement, the new method or technique may be substituted
by Southern Trails. Southern Trails will promptly inform all Shippers of any
new techniques adopted.
12.10 Rights Concerning Measurement Equipment.
(a) Southern Trails and the operator of any interconnecting
facility, in the presence of each other or their contractually designated
representative, may have access to the other's measurement equipment at all
reasonable times for installing, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing,
inspecting, testing, calibrating or adjusting done in connection with the
other's measurement equipment. Only the party owning the equipment may
perform these operations, unless otherwise agreed. The failure of either
party to witness such operations will not affect the validity of the
operations.
(b) The records from measurement equipment will remain the
property of the party owning the equipment, but within ten days of a request,
each will permit the other party to inspect its records and data, together
with related calculations.
(c) The measurement equipment of the operator of the
interconnecting facility will be for check purposes only and, except as
expressly provided in these General Terms and Conditions, will not be used in
the custody measurement of gas.
