GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
5. MEASUREMENT (Continued)
upon request Transporter will submit to Point Operator copies of its
records and charts, together with calculations therefrom, for inspection
and verification.
5.9 Care required: All installations of measuring equipment applying
to or affecting the receipts and/or deliveries of gas shall be made in
such a manner as to permit an accurate determination of the quantity of
gas gathered, transported, and/or stored. Care shall be exercised by
Transporter in the installation, maintenance and operation of measuring
equipment so as to prevent inaccuracies in the determination of the
quantity of gas gathered, transported, and/or stored.
5.10 Calibration and test of meters: The accuracy of Transporter's
measuring equipment shall be verified by Transporter at reasonable
intervals, and if requested, in the presence of representatives of Point
Operator, but Transporter shall not be required to verify the accuracy
of such equipment more frequently than once in any ninety (90) day
period. In the event Point Operator notifies Transporter that it
desires a special test of any measuring equipment, Transporter and Point
Operator shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy
of such equipment. The expense of any such special test, if called for
by Point Operator, shall be borne by Point Operator if the measuring
equipment tested is found to be in error which affects quantity
measurement by not more than two (2) percent.
5.10.1 If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in
error which affects quantity measurement by not more than two (2)
percent, previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered
accurate in computing volumes and/or quantities of gas, but such
equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately.
5.10.2 If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in
error which affects quantity measurement exceeding two (2)
percent, any previous recordings of such equipment shall be
corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely,
but in case the period is not known or agreed upon, such
correction shall be for a period extending for one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of the last test, but not more than 45
days.
