GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
periods of flow each day by a recording calorimeter and
gravitometer or recording chromatograph, if installed,
shall be considered as the gross heating value and
specific gravity of the gas delivered during each day.
In the event a continuous gas sampling device is used,
determinations shall be made not less than once every
month. Such determinations shall be considered as the
gross heating value and specific gravity of all gas
delivered during the applicable sampling period. Gross
heating values and specific gravities determined from
spot samples will be used in calculating gas delivered
for the day on which the test is made and all following
days until the next test is made. The calculations
(for Btu) shall be based on dry gas if the gas at the
measurement points contain less than 5 pounds of water
per Mmcf. If the gas at the measurement points contain
more than 5 pounds of water per Mmcf. the appropriate
factor will be applied to the Btu calculations to
correct for water content in excess of 5 pounds per
Mmcf. The difference between Btu's received by
Transporter and Btu's delivered to Shipper, as
adjusted, shall be deemed unaccounted-for gas. Shipper
shall provide its proportionate share or pay it portion
of unaccounted-for gas and shall be responsible
for unauthorized overrun gas which is vented.
5.5 SUPERCOMPRESSIBILITY. The measurement of gas
shall be corrected for deviation from Boyle's Law at
the pressures and temperatures under which gas is
measured by use of the calculation appearing in the
manual entitled "PAR Research Project NX-19, Extension
of Range of Supercompressibility Table," AGA Catalog
No. 48/PR published by the American Gas Association in
1963 as supplemented or amended from time to time.
Inert content of the metered gas stream used in the
Formula NX-19 calculations shall be determined by a
chromatographic analysis using spot sampling when
deliveries begin and thereafter by (i) chromatographic
analysis not less than semiannually, (ii) continuous
sampling or (iii) by continuous computer input at each
of the points where the gas is received and delivered.
5.6 MEASURING EQUIPMENT. Unless otherwise agreed upon,
Transporter will install, maintain and operate or cause
to be installed, maintained and operated measuring
stations equipped with flow meters and other necessary
metering and measuring equipment by which volumes of
