GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
8. Gas Measurement
8.1 General
The volumes of natural gas and the quantities of energy
received or delivered through a meter or meters shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in
this Section.
8.2 Measurement Unit
The Measurement Unit shall be one Dekatherm of natural gas
and shall be calculated by multiplying the volume delivered
in Mcf by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Heating
Value and the denominator of which is 1,000.
8.3 Volumetric Measurement Base
The volumetric measurement base shall be one cubic foot of
natural gas at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three
one-hundredths (14.73) pounds per square inch absolute, a
temperature base of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit (519.67 R
Absolute), and without adjustment for water vapor content.
8.4 Atmospheric Pressure
The average absolute atmospheric (barometric) pressure shall
be assumed to be fourteen and four-tenths (14.4) pounds per
square inch, irrespective of actual elevation or location of
the delivery point above sea level or variations in actual
barometric pressure from time to time.
8.5 Temperature
The temperature of the natural gas shall be determined at
Transporter's option:
(a)
where Electronic Measurement equipment is provided,
(i) by continuous application of instantaneous temperature
measurements from one or more of the meters at a
measuring station, or by contemporaneous application of
the arithmetic or other average of the temperature Record
from one or more of the meters for the time during which
gas is flowing;
(b)
where Electronic Measurement equipment is not provided,
(i) where an instrument which measures and records the
temperature
