GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
9. Measuring Equipment
9.1 Calibration and Test of Gas Meters
If either Shipper or Transporter shall, at any time, have reason to doubt
the accuracy of any gauge, measuring device, or other appliance used in
measuring the gas received or delivered, it shall notify the other in writing,
and within a reasonable time thereafter the measuring device shall be
tested in the presence of both parties. Neither the Shipper nor Transporter
shall be required to verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than
once in any ninety (90) day period.
9.2 Correction of Metering Errors
If, upon any test, any measuring equipment is found to be in error, such that the
resultant aggregate error in the computed volumes of gas and quantities of energy
received or delivered does not exceed two percent (2%), such errors may be taken
in account in a practical manner in computing the volumes of gas and quantities
of energy received or delivered. All equipment shall, in any case, be adjusted
at the time of test to record correctly. If, however, the resultant aggregate
error in the computed volumes of gas and quantities of energy received or
delivered exceed two percent (2%), previous Recordings of such equipment, and the
corresponding volumes of gas and quantities of energy received or delivered,
shall be corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely or
agreed upon, but in case the period is not known definitely or agreed upon, such
correction shall be for a period extending over one half of the time elapsed
since the date of the last test, not exceeding a correction period of forty-six (46)
days.
9.3 Failure of Measuring Equipment
In the event any measuring equipment is out of service, or is found registering
inaccurately and the error is not determinable by test, previous Recordings from
such equipment, or the volumes of gas or quantities of energy received or
delivered through such equipment, shall be estimated:
(1) by using the registration of any check meter(s) if installed
and accurately registering;
(2) in the absence of check meters, by correcting the error if the
percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, special
test or mathematical calculation;
