GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
5. MEASUREMENT (Continued)
Committee Report No. 5, AGA Committee Report No. 7, or revisions
or amendments thereto. The absolute atmospheric pressure used for
volume calculations shall be the average atmospheric pressure
determined by calculations based on the actual elevation above sea
level of the meter at the place of measurement.
5.3 Unit of volume: The basic unit of volume for purposes of
measurement shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas as defined in
Subsection 1.5. However, the total energy transfer for purposes
of measurement shall be on a dekatherm (dkt) basis as defined in
Subsection 1.7.
5.4 Specific gravity: The specific gravity of the gas gathered,
transported and/or stored hereunder shall be determined by
Transporter at the point(s) of receipt and delivery or at point(s)
representative of such point(s), at necessary intervals, but at
least once each ninety (90) days unless otherwise mutually agreed
upon, by use of a gas analysis or an indicating gravitometer of
standard make, and the results of which shall be applied to the
volume determination during the subsequent test interval.
However, if at the option of Transporter a recording gravitometer
or gas chromatograph is installed, operated and maintained, the
arithmetical average or real time integration of the specific
gravity so measured while gas is flowing during each metering
interval shall be used to correct the volumes of gas transported
hereunder to the unit of volume specified in Subsection 5.3
hereof.
5.5 Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen: The carbon dioxide and nitrogen
content of the gas gathered, transported and/or stored hereunder
shall be determined by Transporter at the point(s) of receipt and
delivery or at point(s) representative of such point(s), at
necessary intervals, but at least once each ninety (90) days
unless otherwise mutually agreed upon, by use of a gas analysis,
the results of which shall be applied to the volume determination
during the subsequent test interval. However, if at the option of
Transporter a gas chromatograph is installed, operated and
maintained, the real time integration of the carbon dioxide and
nitrogen so measured while gas is flowing during each metering
interval shall be used to correct the volumes of gas transported
hereunder to the unit of volume specified in Subsection 5.3
hereof.
