GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(G) When orifice meters are used, the computation of Quantities of Gas delivered
shall be in accordance with the recommendations as published by the American Gas
Association's Report No. 3, Revised - 1990, and the ANSI/API 2530, First Edition,
and any subsequent amendments thereof as may be mutually agreed upon by Customer
and Pipeline.
(H) The Total Heating Value shall be determined by gas chromatographic analysis or
by other methods mutually agreed upon by Customer and Pipeline. The arithmetic
average of the heating value recorded each 24-hour day and as adjusted to
conditions as specified in Section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions, or
continuous instantaneous heating value measurements, shall be used for
computations requiring energy characteristics.
(I) The deviation of the Gas delivered hereunder from Boyle's and Charles' Laws s
hall be determined by gas chromatographic analysis or by analytical methods
mutually agreed upon by Pipeline and Customer. The amount of nitrogen and carbon
dioxide contained in the Gas shall be determined, for the purpose of determining
the deviation factors, every three (3) months or at such other intervals as is
found expedient.
7.2 Measurement Operations and Equipment
Measurement Operations shall include, but not be limited to, the operation, calibration
and testing of the RTU, transducers, chart recorders, meter runs, gas quality
monitoring devices, control valves and responsibility for quantity calculations for the
measurement facility. Pipeline may allow Customer or third parties the right to
perform Measurement Operations, provided that such Customer or third party furnishes to
Pipeline all data required for flow computation and can meet Pipeline's measurement and
operating standards; and provided, further, such Customer or third party which performs
such Measurement Operations shall be responsible for any and all associated costs of
such Measurement Operations unless otherwise agreed by Pipeline and Customer or third
party. Measurement equipment shall consist of the necessary metering devices, designed
and installed in accordance with the current published recommendations of the American
Gas Association or as mutually agreed upon by Customer and Pipeline, measurement
equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained at or on each interconnection of
Pipeline's facility with facilities of third parties; provided, however, Pipeline shall
have the right to require and may install or cause to be installed electronic gas
measurement and control equipment at all points.
(A) Where orifice measurement equipment is to be used, it shall utilize "Flange Tap
Connections" and the static pressure shall be measured at the down-stream flange
tap connection.
(B) An electronic temperature transducer, a recording thermometer or other mutually
acceptable device shall be installed at the measuring station to continuously
measure the flowing Gas temperature.
