GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
present, the results of the test shall nevertheless be considered
accurate until the next test. All tests of such measuring equipment
shall be made at the expense of the Person or Persons conducting the
test, except that the Person or Persons requesting a test shall bear
the expense of such test if the inaccuracy is found not to exceed two
percent, at a reading corresponding to the average hourly rate of
flow.
2.6 Correction and Adjustment: If, upon test, any measuring equipment is
found to be registering inaccurately by not more than two percent, at a
reading corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow, then readings
of such equipment since the time of the last test thereof shall be con-
sidered accurate in computing deliveries of gas. If, upon test, any
measuring equipment is found to be registering inaccurately by more
than two percent, at a reading corresponding to the average hourly rate
of flow, then readings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero
error for any past period definitely known, or agreed, to have been
inaccurate, or if the inaccuracy during all or part of the period of
time since the last test of such equipment is not so known or agreed
upon, for a period of sixteen days, or one-half of the elapsed time
since such last test, whichever is the shorter period. Any recording
equipment found to be registering inaccurately shall be immediately
adjusted to register accurately.
2.7 Failure of Measuring Equipment: If measuring equipment at any Point of
Delivery is out of service for any period, the measurement determinants
for such Point of Delivery during such period shall be determined:
2.71 By using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment
accurately registering: or
2.72 If such check measuring equipment is not registering accurately
but the percentage of error is ascertainable by a calibration
test, by using the data recorded, corrected to zero error; or
2.73 If neither of the methods provided in Subsections 2.71 and 2.72
above can be used, by estimating the necessary determinants by
reference to receipts or deliveries under similar conditions.
2.8 Preservation of Records: Each party shall preserve for a period of at
least three years, or such longer period as may be required by public
authority, all test data, charts, and other similar records.
