GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
4. MEASUREMENT
Determination of Quantity. The quantity of gas delivered hereunder
shall be measured according to Boyle's and Charles' Laws for the
measurement of gas under varying pressures and temperatures with
deviations therefrom as provided in paragraph (g) below and shall be
determined as follows:
(a) The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement shall be 1,000
cubic feet (Mcf) of gas at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit
and an absolute pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch
irrespective of the actual elevation above sea level of the point
of measurement or of variations in barometric pressure.
(b) The unit measurement for the purpose of sales and billing shall
be one (1) dekatherm (dth), consisting of one million (1,000,000)
British Thermal Units. The number of dekatherms delivered shall
be determined by multiplying the number of Mcf of gas delivered,
measured on the basis hereinafter specified, by the total heating
value of such gas, in British Thermal Units per cubic foot, as
defined in Section 1 above, and by dividing the product by one
thousand (1,000).
(c) The flowing temperature of the gas shall be determined by the
continuous use of a recording thermometer at the delivery point
or as agreed by both parties, and the average temperature of the
gas at the delivery point, as computed by such method, shall be
used in computing the deliveries of gas. If the flowing
temperature of gas is not measured, the flowing temperature shall
be assumed to be 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
(d) The specific gravity of the gas delivered hereunder shall be
determined by the continuous use of a recording gravitometer or
as agreed by both parties and the average specific gravity at the
delivery point, as computed by such method, shall be used in
computing the deliveries of gas. If the Specific Gravity of the
gas is not determined, the Specific Gravity shall be assumed to
be .675.
(e) The volumes of gas delivered hereunder shall be measured by meters
of standard make and the measurement by orifice meter shall be
computed in accordance with the methods prescribed in the Gas
Measurement Committee Report No. 3, Natural Gas Department,
American Gas Association, including the appendix thereto, as now
and from time to time amended or supplemented.
