GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
2. MEASUREMENT (Continued)
2.5 Atmospheric Pressure. For the purpose of measurement, calculation
and meter calibration, the average absolute atmospheric (barometric)
pressure shall be based on the actual altitude of each point of
measurement irrespective of variations in natural atmospheric
pressure from time to time. In the event electronic computer
measurement is used, the absolute Gas pressure will be measured
directly, using an absolute pressure measuring device for continuing
input to the electronic computer.
2.6 Temperature. The temperature of the Gas shall be determined at the
points of measurement by means of a properly installed recording
thermometer of standard manufacture determined by Transporter in
exercise of its reasonable judgment to be installed in accordance
with the recommendations contained in ANSI/API 2530 First Edition
(Orifice Metering of Natural Gas). The arithmetic average of hourly
temperatures for each Day shall be used in computing temperatures of
the Gas during such Day. In the event electronic computer
measurement is used, average daily temperature will be computed as a
running average of data determined during each computer scan.
2.7 Determination of Heating Value and Specific Gravity. The Gross
Heating Value and specific gravity of the Gas may be determined by
on-line recording calorimeter and gravitometer or by recording
chromatograph. In the event a continuous Gas sampling device is
used, intervals mutually agreed upon should not be less than every
Month. For conventional chart measurement, the arithmetical average
of the hourly Gross Heating Value and specific gravity recorded
during periods of flow each Day by a recording calorimeter and
gravitometer or recording chromatograph, if installed, shall be
considered as the Gross Heating Value and specific gravity of the
Gas Delivered during each Day. In the event electronic computer
measurement is used, the determination of Gross Heating Value and
specific gravity from chromatograph or calorimeter and gravitometer
transducers shall input continuously into the computer for quantity
calculations. In the event a continuous Gas sampler is installed,
then the Gross Heating Value and specific gravity shall be
determined in the laboratory by chromatograph and/or running a
portion of test sample through a calorimeter and gravitometer.
Such determinations shall be considered as the Gross Heating Value
and specific gravity of all Gas Delivered during the applicable
period of sampling. All Gross Heating Value and specific gravity
determinations made with a chromatograph shall use physical Gas
constants for Gas compounds, as outlined in ANSI/API 2530 with any
subsequent amendments or revisions to which the Parties may
mutually agree.
