GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
gas received and equivalent volumes delivered shall be
determined. Shipper may install check measuring

equipment shall be installed in a manner not to
interfere with the operations of Transporter.
Transporter and Shipper, in the presence of each other,
shall have access to the other's measuring equipment at
all reasonable times but the reading, calibrating and
adjusting electronic computer components and/or
mechanical recording instruments and the changing of
