GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
5. MEASUREMENT (Continued)
5.6 Temperature: The temperature of the gas flowing through a
measuring station, as specified in Subsection 5.1 hereof, shall be
determined by an indicating thermometer, a recording thermometer, or an
electronic temperature measuring device installed and operated by
Transporter. The arithmetical average of the temperature so recorded or
integrated while the gas is flowing during each metering interval shall
be used in correcting volumes of gas received or delivered hereunder to
the unit of volume specified in Subsection 5.3 hereof.
5.7 Heating value: The heating value of the gas shall be determined
by Transporter by taking samples of the gas at the point(s) of receipt
and delivery or at point(s) representative of such receipt and/or
delivery point(s) at necessary intervals, but at least once each ninety
(90) days unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. Transporter may, at
its option, install and operate an intermittent sampling device to
automatically collect samples of the subject gas at the point(s) of
receipt and/or delivery or at point(s) representative of such point(s).
At Transporter's option, the heating value of the gas may be determined
by a recording calorimeter or gas chromatograph, installed by
Transporter at the point(s) of receipt and/or delivery, or at point(s)
representative of such point(s), in which event the arithmetic average
of the hourly flowing gas heating value recorded each day shall be
considered as the average heating value of the gas received or delivered
for that day. If the heating value of the gas is determined from gas
samples taken, such gas samples shall be run on Transporter's recording
calorimeter or gas chromatograph to determine the heating value of the
subject gas, and the results shall be applied to daily gas receipts
and/or deliveries during the billing interval for which the sample was
taken, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon.
5.8 Right to be present: Point Operator shall have the right to have
representatives present at the time of any installing, reading,
cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing, calibrating or
adjusting done in connection with Transporter's measuring equipment used
in measuring or checking the measurement of the receipts and/or
deliveries of gas. The records from such measuring equipment shall
remain the property of Transporter, but
