GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4.4 Calibration and test of meters: The accuracy of Transporter's or
Shipper's measuring equipment shall be verified at reasonable
intervals and, if requested, in the presence of representatives of
the other party, but neither party shall be required to verify the
accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once in any
thirty-day period. In the event either party shall notify the other
that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment, the
parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the
accuracy of such equipment. The expense of any such special test, if
called for, shall be borne by the requesting party if the measuring
equipment tested is found to be in error not more than two percent
(2%).
If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in error by not
more than two percent (2%), previous recordings of such equipment
shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of gas, but such
equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately.
If, upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found to be
inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2%), at a recording
corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since
the last preceding test, then any previous recordings of such
equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period that is
known definitely, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon,
such correction shall be for a period extending over one-half of the
time elapsed since the date of last test, not exceeding a correction
period of sixteen days.
If Transporter elects to rely on the Delivering Pipeline's
measurements of quantities or heat values for gas transported in
Transporter's system, then Transporter or Shipper may request
verification of measuring equipment by the Delivering Pipeline.
Shipper shall coordinate with Transporter any requests made by
Shipper to the Delivering Pipeline and Transporter shall have a right
to be notified of and attend any tests made by the Delivering
Pipeline of equipment that measures deliveries to Transporter.
