7. MEASUREMENT & MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
7.1 Determination of Quantity
The Quantity of Gas received and delivered by Pipeline for Customer's account hereunder
shall be measured according to Boyle's and Charles' Laws for the measurement of Gas
under varying pressures and temperatures with deviations therefrom as provided in
paragraph (I) below and shall be determined as follows:
(A)- The unit of measurement for the purpose of service under any of Pipeline's rate
schedules shall be one (1) Dekatherm (Dth), consisting of one million (1,000,000)
British Thermal Units. The number of Dekatherms delivered shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Cubic Feet of Gas received or delivered, measured on
the measurement basis hereinafter specified, by the Total Heating Value of such
Gas, in British Thermal Units per Cubic Foot, as defined in Section 1 of the
General Terms and Conditions, and by dividing the product by 1 million
(1,000,000).
(B) The unit of quantity for the purpose of measurement shall be 1 Cubic Foot of Gas
at a temperature of 60o Fahrenheit and at an absolute pressure of 14.73 pounds
per square inch.
(C) The unit of weight for the purpose of measurement shall be one (1) pound mass of
Gas.
(D) The average absolute atmospheric pressure shall be assumed to be 14.7 pounds per
square inch.
(E) The temperature of the Gas passing through the meters shall be determined by the
use of electronic transducers, recording thermometer or other temperature
measuring devices. The arithmetic average of the temperature recorded each 24-
hour day shall be used in computing Gas quantities or continuous instantaneous
temperature measurements as may be applied to metering instruments to provide the
quantity computation.
(F) The specific gravity of the Gas flowing through the meters shall be determined by
gas chromatographic analysis, continuous recording gravitometer, or continuous or
spot sampling methods, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by Customer and
Pipeline. The arithmetic average of the specific gravity recorded during each
24-hour day shall be used in computing Gas quantities or continuous instantaneous
specific gravity measurements may be applied to metering instruments to provide
the quantity computation.
